Publisher's summary

Former Wall Street executive Marisa Santoro spent years navigating trading floors in an abrasive male-dominated industry and field, where she learned from experience that the key to leadership success is self-trust. Now, in Own Your Authority, she shares her hard-won secrets to being a resilient leader. Santoro lays out a step-by-step blueprint for building the confidence you need at any stage of your career, whether you are an executive, a mid-career senior professional, an emerging leader, or consultant. You will learn how to: be clear on how you're perceived and how you relate with others; be willing to act on instinct in the face of fear; be aware of the instinctive yellow alerts flagging your indecision - they are there for a reason and will help you make the best decision; trust your "intuitive gut gene", an instinct that helps you make gutsy moves; and speak out and openly express yourself without apology, restriction, or worry about the opinions of others.

Self-confidence is a universal prerequisite for being an effective leader. The good news is you're not born with it - you develop it. With Own Your Authority, you'll learn to master your mindset, give yourself permission to break through the walls that have held you back, and deliver positive impact to yourself, your team, and your business.

Nice explanation!!

One of the best books I've ever listened. Strongly advised if you want to alter your thinking in order to alter your entire life.

The Ultimate Leadership Style!!

This audiobook helps you express yourself without apology, restriction, or worry about the opinions of others.. Thank you!

Eye opening

I haven't finished the book yet, but it has already changed my perspective. eagerly awaiting to finish.

This is a great book for growth.

Loved learning about the development mentality and how to use it to your advantage! The genuine stuff, that is! It's definitely worth reading!

Really really good stuff.

This book is useful and, if used, may quickly improve one's life.

I enjoy the book since it doesn't instantly inflate your confidence before deflating it later. It is related to how we live naturally. It's not a boost to your confidence on steroids. It doesn't negate our inherent human character in terms of some of our interactions with daily life.

Thought-provoking!!

The book broadened my viewpoint and helped me approach problems and people with a more upbeat attitude. I regret not reading this book before I started coaching. So let's go forth and upward.

Foundational book!!

This book serves as a fundamental guide to controlling one's thoughts, thinking, and awareness. Highly advised for anyone looking to get better in any manner.

It's okay.

Another spiritually based self help book. It's pretty well disguised and I prefer that, but at the end there's a bit too much of it. Might as well just take up a spiritual practice and do real yoga while leaving this sort of stuff behind if the answer is always about having positivity and inflated self value about how you're more deserving than others and such. All these self help books nowadays are all really the same book, just tweaked a slight bit for the subject matter.

Great recommendation.

In order to learn, change, and ultimately realize one's potential, this book explains just how and what might make one more adaptable.

To individuals who are committed to their own development and evolution, I highly suggest this book. There are some underlying concepts that are reinforced by outstanding examples that have a profound impact. The author also breaks down the subject into easily consumable and entertaining learnings while writing about it in a way that genuinely interests the listener to.

Totally recommended

A must-listen for anybody out there as it pertains to business, relationships, and parenting, I appreciate how the author adapted the mentality approach to all facets of life and while listening to it I could see my own potential for progress.
