Your Journey to Fear Less Starts Here
After observing smart and talented people holding themselves back again and again (including me!), I knew it was my life's mission to write this book. I didn't want you to navigate your career journey alone or miss out on what you deserve.
​
To help you overcome these barriers, I led research with a team of behavioral scientists from top Ivy League universities, analyzed insights gleaned from thousands of workshop participants, and gathered advice from dozens of successful female leaders.
​
I share painful - yet valuable - lessons learned along my career path, from TV news anchor and reporter (where I learned storytelling, public speaking, and a lot about navigating workplace politics and harrassment), to decades climbing the ladder as a tech, media, and advertising executive.
Advice from global leaders will inspire you, while proven, successful strategies (honed by training more than 10,000 globally) will ​help you 'flip the fear' so you can achieve your potential.
Actionable exercises you can apply immediately arm you with the confidence to communicate with impact, forge meaningful connections, take control, and lead with courage. You'll even be armed with AI prompts to make it easier to tackle the tasks which make you uncomfortable,
