Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A call for women everywhere to forget perfectionism and start winging it .
Emma Isaacs forgot to draw up her life plan. She doesn't have a list of five-year goals, and she doesn't believe in work-life balance. Yet somehow she's managed to found a multimillion-dollar global organization, become a highly sought-after speaker and media commentator, and be recognized as a prominent voice in women's leadership--all while raising six young children.
So how does she do it all? She dives in headfirst and wings it .
Women are notorious over-preparers and underestimators when it comes to their own readiness to try something new. But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It , Emma has written a rallying cry for all women to "do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again."
Through hilarious stories, targeted prompts, and timeless advice, Emma will inspire you to get clear on what really matters and go after your dreams, one messy step at a time. Get ready to stop hiding behind the safe option or the perfect plan--and start winging it .
"By sharing her own wins and failures and the wisdom she's gained from these experiences, Emma Isaacs disabuses readers of the notion that success is reserved for others and inspires them to follow their dreams, right now. Filled with the author's wins and failures, key lessons, and advice on how to do big things without hiding behind a perfect plan to show you the way, she also draws on the stories of the many successful women and men she's met along the way"-- Provided by publisher.
