Are you ready to transform your life?

Early in my career, I tried to do everything “right”: I spoke up in meetings, supported colleagues’ strategies, and raised my hand for new projects. Though my enthusiasm helped me get ahead in some ways, pushback from others nearly derailed me: Who did I think I was? I shouldn’t be so “out there.” I should “take it down a bit.”

What happened next is a situation all too many professional women will recognize: I began to internalize the comments, second-guessing myself and holding myself back to make others comfortable. It took a long time—years, in fact—before I was able to see what I was doing and regain the power of being my best self.

In my new book, One Bold Move a Day, I share hard-won advice and insights gleaned from 20 years as a successful manager leading large teams in billion-dollar non-profit organizations and a leadership consultant to universities and companies.

No matter how small or inconsequential they may seem to others, the Bold Moves you choose bring you closer to your goals every day—and have the power to change the trajectory of your personal life and career. In the pages of this book, you’ll find the support you need, and see that the best time to start making Bold Moves is right here, right now.
