Loved it!

I took the quiz. I see my strengths. I’m ready to grow. You need to read this if you’ve ever faced a crisis of confidence. I also love the audio version because when she talks about her mom and even imitates her, it’s darling and pulls at my heart strings.

Practical advice

Need to look up pdf’s on line to take the quiz. Blah blah blah blah

Powerful support for all professional women

With a characteristic meticulousness of a former McKinsey consultant, Lisa studies the sources of confidence and how they are different from individual to individual methodically and with the help of a thorough quantitative research. The study definitely adds credibility and strong foundation to her findings, not to mention, becomes the basis of a fun, and scarily accurate Quiz that helps you identify individual strengths/sources of confidence. She goes on to explore why many "female" sources of confidence are under-appreciated in a male-dominated leadership world, and what we can do about it. It is her stories of personal exploration from her clients, and from herself, that I found especially empowering. Lisa courageously details her own vulnerabilities and what it took her to overcome her downs. The book is voiced-over by Lisa herself, which adds an intimate touch. This is an empowering book for every female: early in her career, or with a few decades behind her belt, that helps better understand her own super-powers and utilize them for her personal and professional growth.
