Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When women readers finish Embracing Your Power, they will feel confident, supported, and seen. They will think I am enough; I've got this. Focusing on greater self-awareness as a woman, a leader, and as a powerful and authentic woman leader, Marsha Clark's book also explores interpersonal relationships based on a foundation of mutual trust, setting and maintaining boundaries, and managing conflict. Embracing Your Power is a leadership book targeted to professionally minded women across all sectors. Women in for-profit, non-profit, education, healthcare, military, religion, government-and homemakers-will benefit from Clark's advice. Clark doesn't just tell us what to do: She effectively shows us how and provides tools and language for practical applications with research, stories, and practice, including reflection questions and exercises. The book provides guidance and a structure for the reader to develop a vision statement, encompassing both their personal and professional lives. With this toolkit, women will be more effective leaders, and they will be able lead from their best, most authentic place. They will also be able to live their best lives and pay it forward. This book is written so that it can be used by an individual, a book club, mentoring circles, organizational resource groups (focused on women) and potentially even on an organization level to develop curriculum (in conjunction with a subscription service with tool availability). Male readers will also learn how to better work with, for, and around women, as many of the valuable tools and resources are gender-neutral.
