Show Your Worth

8 Intentional Strategies for Women to Emerge as Leaders at Work

By: Shelmina Babai Abji

Narrated by: Zehra Jane Naqvi

If you're a woman, especially a woman of color, you know this already: You face unique challenges and obstacles as you work to scale the corporate ladder. From not seeing other faces in the room that look like you to dealing with the stereotypes and (often unconscious) biases in the workplace, you may know what to do to succeed, but not how to get it done in this environment. Show Your Worth shows you how.

In chapters that are both inspirational and practical, Shelmina Babai Abji speaks directly to professional women—especially women of color—about how the power of being intentional and strategic can help transform the headwinds you face into much-needed tailwinds.

Show Your Worth takes you on a deep dive into the 8 Intentional Strategies that will help you achieve success, including:

• Success: Define what success means to you;
• Attention: Develop your Personal Success Plan;
• Work/Life Balance: Achieve work-life balance in our disrupted world;
• Value Creation: Overcome fear, find your voice, and contribute at your maximum capacity;
• Growth: Seek relevant and meaningful growth;
• Relationships: Connect meaningfully with first-line managers, peers, mentors, and sponsors;
• Leadership Branding: Build and preserve your reputation as a leader; and
• Promotions: Be strategic about earning a promotion.

Shelmina Babai Abji and her book, SHOW YOUR WORTH, are the real deal. A former IBM VP who led a billion dollar team, Shelmina set ambitious goals from her humble beginnings in Tanzania. With courage, grit, discipline, and smart hard work, in spite of her challenges, Shelmina overcame, achieved, and surpassed her definition of personal-career success.

Now, Shelmina wants to help more women of color and underrepresented persons achieve personal-career success through her book, SHOW YOUR WORTH: 8 Intentional Strategies for WOMEN to Emerge as LEADERS AT WORK.

How am I so sure? In 2019, Shelmina personally connected with me after seeing my comment on a LI post. A week later, we had a 15-minute call and Shelmina gave the best advice, “to maximize time with intention and to do one thing daily and weekly outside of normal responsibilities to advance career goals.” Shelmina also revealed plans for writing this book.

Upon SHOW YOUR WORTH’s release, Shelmina asked my thoughts. I listened to SHOW YOUR WORTH on Audible. While I would have loved Shelmina as narrator, the narrator doesn’t disappoint with an inspiring, yet easy listen. A valuable treasure packed with actionable steps, I bought the hard copies for myself and a friend! Shelmina doesn’t hold anything back - her strategies, insights & exercises are 🔥🔥🔥

SHOW YOUR WORTH is the book Shelmina and all of us wish we had when navigating life and career. Through SHOW YOUR WORTH, Shelmina serves as a caring, teacher, coach and mentor. Not your average business leadership book, SHOW YOUR WORTH is the new CAREER BIBLE!
