A new wave of leadership is here. And it's an inspired call to stand strong as agents of change. As a result, many women are examining their leadership capacities in light of a more expansive, wholehearted, and creative image. We are claiming a balanced, mindful approach to leadership, bringing to the fore elevated actions, deepened connections, and higher contribution - embodying both the internal and external aspects of our creativity.Since 1999 I've interviewed and studied the philosophy of many influential trailblazing change-makers. The one thing they each have in common is this: Amazing Women leaders know the importance of supporting the growth of others. But what they also know is that Self-esteem anchored in their own unique, individual value is the foundational power of a truly influential leader. To master this type of influence, we must each embark on a path of self-reflection, definition, and at times re-definition? we must recognize the source of our power and step fully into all that our sacred work stands for. The place to begin is mindful awareness of our pure potentials. If we want to understand our strengths, we must awaken a deep, rich connection with our inner leader - we must set free the wealth of our value to express who we are and what we are compelled to do with our lives.For this very reason, I've brought together a collaborative of influential forward-moving change-makers - each bringing a depth of insights into what is required to unpack our talents and master our mission. Each chapter carries highly personal, vulnerable stories of healing, accompanied by a vast array of teachings - both practical and spiritual - gleaned over many years of experience, training, and study. Through their writing, we are invited to redefine and grow the qualities of leadership. We find ways to liberate our inner potentials, bring clarity of our most profound talents, and access the powers to fulfill our sacred work.

The Remarkable discoveries about what drives and sustains successful women leaders. Based on five years of proprietary research, How Remarkable Women Lead speaks to you as no other book has, with its hopeful outlook and unique ideas about success. It's the new "right stuff" of leadership, raising provocative issues such as whether feminine leadership traits (for women and men) are better suited for our fast-changing, hyper-competitive, and increasingly complex world. The authors, McKinsey & Company consultants Joanna Barsh and Susie Cranston, establish the links between joy, happiness, and distinctive performance with the groundbreaking model of Centered Leadership. The book's personal stories and related insights show you the magic that happens when you put the five elements of Centered Leadership–meaning, framing, connecting, engaging, and energizing–to work. They include: • How Alondra de la Parra built on her strengths and passions to infuse her life with meaning and make her way in the male-dominated world of orchestra conducting • How Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, avoided a downward spiral when the company turned down by "firing herself" on Friday and re-emerging on Monday as the "new" turnaround CEO • How Ruth Porat's sponsors at Morgan Stanley not only helped her grow but were also her ballast for coping with difficult personal and professional times •How Eileen Naughton recovered after losing her dream job, landing on her feet at Google and open to a new leadership opportunity • How Julie Coates of Woolworth's Australia makes energy key to her professional success, with reserves for her "second shift" as wife and mother How Remarkable Women Lead is both profoundly moving and actionable. Woman or man, you'll find yourself in its pages and emerge with a practical plan for breaking through at both work and in life.
