Stepping Into Your Power

 

An embodied approach to developing women leaders

‘An inspiring read, offering stories from real women leading change in organisations.’

An embodied approach to developing women leaders which invites us to re-write our interpretation of power, from the prevailing ‘power over’ to ‘power with’ developing a felt sense that the whole is greater than any one individual. This is the pathway to creating organisations that work for everyone. 

About the book

The book Stepping Into Your Power integrates different perspectives and theoretical frames with the author’s own experience of working with women leaders in organisations combined with action research. It sets out how women are able to dismantle the internal barriers that maintain the status quo and become a powerful force for change. 

Individual and collective transformation are interdependent and inseparable. When women come together and support one another it is possible to transcend the norms and social forces and shift the prevailing culture. We can create more inclusive cultures where everyone, women and men, can participate and contribute to the benefit of all. It’s time to rewrite our interpretation of power, it’s time to make a difference.

‘This book will help you. Will inspire you. Will show you that getting to a leadership role is not a challenge. The real challenge is to recognize and step into your power, be confident in communicating this to the others, be true to yourself at all times, and never forget to be humble and human, no matter how much power you can achieve in your future professional career.’

A practical book from Women who lead

I would recommend this book to anyone seeking examples and case studies of real life experiences from women in leadership. The pace is fast, the narrative authentic and related theory is well referenced.

Trish Kill

Practical and inspring

A thought provoking collection of practical tips and inspiring accounts from female leaders, whose personal insights of self-discovery span three key themes:

– Redefining what power looks like
– The art of being present in order to take conscious and purposeful action
– The value of intuition

A definite must read for anyone looking to enhance their personal power and challenge the status quo.

Clare Eagle

Inspiring and thought provoking

Easy to read, but inspiring and thought provoking, I found myself quickly connecting with the ladies who have bravely and honestly shared their stories. I also liked the holistic approach of including practices which help give time to reflect on each story. I very much enjoyed reading this book and it gives me food for thought in my own role as a people manager.
