The Most Powerful You
Therapist-turned-career-coach Kathy Caprino saw common patterns in professional women: unhappiness, disillusionment, and disappointment. But the men she worked with didn't seem to face these same challenges.
What was underneath this widespread experience? Why couldn’t these women experience the joy, success, and impact they deserved and wanted?
Kathy investigated. She discovered 7 specific and damaging gender-based power gaps that stopped women from reaching their highest potential.
In her book “The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss,” Kathy guides you through each of these 7 power gaps, with real-life stories and proven strategies for how to close each gap for good.
This discussion guide was shared and sponsored in partnership with Harper Collins Leadsership.
