Empowering, Honest, and Worth Replaying

Listening to this book on Audible was a transformational experience. Asya’s voice, delivery, and vulnerability shine through every chapter. It felt like I was sitting across from a mentor who was speaking directly to my career journey, reminding me I’m not alone, and I’m not behind.

As someone still navigating the corporate world and striving to grow as a project manager and beyond, this book gave me both tactical gems and emotional insight. It’s the kind of audiobook you’ll revisit during seasons of burnout, imposter syndrome, or big transitions.

I especially appreciated the “letters to your future self” at the end of each section; they hit differently when spoken out loud, and I found them motivating, grounding, and personal.

Highly recommend this for women in project management who want more than frameworks; they want honesty, encouragement, and a real voice guiding them forward.

A phenomenal read for women in every stage of their career

This book hit home in all the best ways! It’s the rare kind of read that feels deeply personal yet entirely practical. Nearly every chapter echoed something I’ve experienced throughout my career. Highly, highly recommend.

Not just project management advice—this is life advice.

As the author and narrator, this project was deeply personal for me. I poured my story, my experience, and my heart into every word of this audiobook. I created it for the quiet leaders, the only ones in the room, the women who carry it all and still get the job done with excellence. If you’ve ever felt unseen or unheard in your career—this is for you.

What stood out most to me wasn’t just telling my story—it was finally taking up space in a world that often tries to shrink us. Narrating this myself was powerful. I wanted every listener to feel like we were sitting together, sharing wisdom, laughter, and truth.

If this book moved you, encouraged you, or made you feel seen, I’d be honored if you left a review too. Your words matter—and they help more women find this space made just for us.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for being part of this moment.

Leading with Legacy: A Career Companion for Every Season

This book felt like a conversation I didn't know I needed. It's a well-curated blend of career wisdom, personal reflection, and affirmation for women who often lead from the margins. Asya Watkins, founder of Women of Project Management®, speaks directly to Black women and women of color navigating leadership, growth, and legacy.

What I appreciated most was how each section honors the season you're in—whether you're finding your voice, setting boundaries, pivoting with purpose, or finally permitting yourself to rest. It's implementable, personal, and robust of wisdom to evolve throughout one's career and entrepreneurial trajectory.

More than a guide, it's a reminder: legacy isn't just what we leave behind. It's our intentional effort of how we choose to show up daily. This book stays with you.

Well done. I felt seen from the beginning to the end.

What I appreciate most about his book is the authenticity in every chapter. The book doesn’t just highlight success—it walks you through the grit, grace, and growth that comes with owning your seat at the table. It’s a blend of real-world advice, professional wisdom, and personal truth that makes you feel seen and inspired.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned PM, this book will encourage you to lead boldly, set boundaries, and define success on your own terms. Honestly, you don’t even have to be in PM to get gems from this book that will last a lifetime - personally and professionally. Another plus - the author is also the narrator! That’s always a win for me.

Highly recommend!
