Many women are in the organisational shadows, wary of stepping into their brilliance. Often they find themselves stuck in a job and lacking the confidence to break out of their routine, or overcome obstacles to development – inner or structural. No matter your background, this book can help you to take your career to the next level.

The Power of Being a Woman’ (2015)
Women, we’re often faced with challenges and obstacles to achieving our full potential. Often these are due to society’s structures, unconscious bias and stereotypical expectations about who we should be. But sometimes they are our own internal blocks that stop us from taking risks and doing the things we really want to do.
In The Power of Being a Woman - an Amazon bestseller, written with 16 other women - you’ll meet phenomenal women from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Each has overcome their own particular challenges on the road to success and empowerment and all give their own particular take on success and power in this 21st century world. They show you how to connect with your personal power as a woman and share your gifts with the world.

Are you a black or Asian woman who wants to achieve more in your personal or professional life?
Or are you an ally who wants to understand how best to support a black or Asian woman on her journey?
Because the reality is that black and Asian women may navigate achieving success quite differently from their white counterparts.
As you’ll discover in this new book, Undeterred: The Success Equation of Women of Black and Asian Heritage, while we may ALL use a similar set of skills and attributes to achieve success in our lives, we don’t ALL use them in the same ways.
We call this ‘The Success Equation’.
Understanding it is critical to success without burnout if you are of black or Asian heritage and to your understanding of how to support them if you are an ally.
Reading this book will help you to
Understand what the journey to success looks like for black and Asian women and how their perspectives of achievement can differ
Understand how they combine strategies to navigate their way around racist or sexist behaviour in their personal and professional lives
Find inspiration, courage and practical steps for use on your own journey and/or to support the women you work with
