Amazing helpful truths

Kathy’s approach to telling her story, and that of many other women in this book, provides a path for all professional women to look at their lives through a different, braver lens. I highly recommend this book and the journey it will take you on if you allow it! Kathy has truly helped me to be braver, to set boundaries, and to stand up for myself.

Thank you!

So worth it

Kathy does a masterwork with her beautiful voice conveying pertinent case studies interwoven with actionable best practices to address power gaps.

Inspirational!

I found the book to be thought provoking and insightful. Many of the stories moved me, which initiated me to reflect upon my own behavior (past and present), as well as, take a personal inventory of where I have grown as a woman and a professional. Each gap was illustrated by an engaging story that was described with enough detail that I could feel it. I loved the way Kathy told each story with compassion and ease, and offered helpful tips and strategies at the end of each power gap. Kathy is a gifted coach, author and story teller, and has a natural ability to connect with people. By the end of the book, I felt as if I stood taller and more powerful in my own greatest.
