Why a book for women of color on leadership? Because women of color make up about 20 percent of the US population yet only 1 percent of CEOs.

It’s impossible to see how to break through a concrete ceiling. Here is a book that gets to the heart of what women of color face and how to rise. Whether you are just beginning your career or already in the C-Suite, this book exposes the myths that ...

You’re not waiting for the right time. You’re waiting for a feeling that doesn’t exist. Every dream paused and every chance postponed traces back to the same quiet lie: “I’ll start when I’m ready.” But readiness is not a moment. It is a myth. And the longer you hesitate, the more invisible the cost becomes. In The Readiness Myth, you step inside the patterns behind hesitation. The excuses that sound responsible. The delays that feel logical. The goals you keep pushing into the future while telling yourself you will get to them soon.

Are you working hard… yet nothing feels like “success”? You work hard. You push. You do everything people say should lead to a breakthrough.
