This brand-new 2017-2018 edition now includes even MORE information to push you out of your comfort zone and into action!!!
Do you constantly doubt yourself or your abilities? Do you downplay your achievements or refuse to take credit for a job well done? Do you talk yourself out of doing something just so you won't fail? If so, then you're at the right place.
If you're not ALL IN, ALL THE WAY, ALL THE TIME, then you're nowhere.
Among the problems women face:
We play nice.
We don't ask for what we want.
We don't negotiate.
We apologize. All. The. Time.
We're people-pleasers.
We're over-thinkers.
We suffer from the fraud or imposter syndrome.
We're perfectionists.
We don't self-promote.
My mission is to bring awareness to your bad habits, to push you out of your comfort zone and into action, and to motivate you to reach up, dream bigger, and aspire for leadership positions in all areas of your life.
This is your opportunity to gain confidence and jump-start your life.
Are you ready?
"This pithy and informative text provides women with dozens of activities to help rid themselves of the disease of perfectionism, procrastination, and the obsession with being nice, while also challenging them to improve communication skills and live outside their comfort zones." --Jessica Rose, Hamilton Magazine
