Women Rising
It's time to create a future where feminine power and leadership is celebrated. It's time for a radical awakening and a revolution. It's time for women to rise.
In Women Rising, you'll discover how to recognise and resist the very real forces of power that limit how you work and live as a woman. Are you tired of being asked to 'lean in, ' fit in, perform and conform? The truth is that women today continue to be constrained by pervasive ideas about how we 'should' act and behave.
To break free, we need to understand the forces that limit our potential. Those forces are external and internal, without and within, and they sabotage the very success we work so hard for. In Women Rising, author and award-winning empowerment expert Megan Dalla-Camina shows you how to see and cut the invisible strings holding you back.
Women Rising unveils the 6 external paradoxes that impact how women lead and succeed. You'll uncover how these power paradoxes affect our visibility, empowerment, confidence, success, motherhood and leadership.
Turning inward, you'll discover how our internal narratives, the stories we tell ourselves, can also serve to keep us stuck. Women Rising unmasks 13 archetypes that keep us striving for impossible standards as a Perfectionist, an Overachiever, a Good Girl, a People Pleaser and more.
Finally, Women Rising illuminates the path forward. It shares real, practical tools and strategies that women everywhere can use to craft a future where we succeed on our own terms. Grounded in leadership experience from the world's largest organisations, Megan Dalla-Camina's hands-on toolkit shows you how to find your vision and purpose -- and evolve as a confident, authentic leader.
It's time to rise and to step into your power. This guide will show you how.
