Trying to be confident in today’s world is tough. Brutal, actually. When was the last time you got on social media and thought, “Man, that really helped me feel better about myself?" Give me a break!

What if you could go back to key points in your life and ask different questions of yourself and others to change where you are today? Speaker, author, and entrepreneur Laura Atchison had it all - a great career, a successful business, ambitious goals, and a loving family - when she realized she was off course. Instead of achieving the life she was meant to live, she had been stuck on autopilot - plodding through the life others wanted her to live.

Women are steadily showing up in powerful positions, and better communication and public speaking give women the ability to develop their full potential, seize every opportunity, and realize their aspirations. Whether pitching for new business, delivering a talk at a conference, raising money for a non-profit, or communicating one-on-one with coworkers, women can become effective, powerful communicators when they learn to speak with authenticity and confidence.

Women define career success in a wide variety of ways. But whatever a woman's personal definition, if she is in a traditionally male-dominated career - virtually all high status, highly compensated fields - her career is at risk because of pervasive gender stereotypes. This highly practical book makes clear that women don't need to change who they are to succeed in their chosen careers, and they certainly don't need to act more like men.

Dion Lim has seen it all. As an Asian American woman in the hyper-competitive, White- and male-dominated business of TV news, her career path required a powerful blend of street smarts, determination, and a willingness to learn from mistakes-all of which she learned on the job. Today, she's an ABC anchor in one of the biggest cities in the country. In Make Your Moment, Dion guides you through what she has learned on the career battlefield and what it means for other working women today.

Do you feel like you're not living up to your potential, and that your thoughts are holding you back from achieving your goals? You're not alone.

But what if you could break free from these patterns and unlock the door to lasting success? This book shows you how to do just that.

When activist Nell Merlino decides something needs to change, she throws everything she has into changing it, whether it is raising the visibility of girls or helping women build their microbusinesses into million-dollar enterprises.

Black and brown women have been making profound strides in leadership and professional achievement, despite facing the added hurdles of both sexism and racism in the workplace. But so often, excelling at work comes at the expense of their wellness: the chronic stressors and demands on Black women can result in negative physical health outcomes such as sleep disturbance, hypertension, and diabetes, and negative mental health outcomes including anxiety and depression.

Chelette, a trainer, coach, and speaker imparts her proprietary strategies that can take any woman from being overwhelmed to awesome. She deduces that women can have it all, just not at the same time. Instead she offers her original concept of ego-RHYTHM, which allows women to delve into defining what is most important during their various stages of life, then teaches them how to set a main focus, re-structure their lives for better work-life balance, and put an end to the crazy-making lifestyle.

For so many women, "work-life balance" is a myth. And when you're already juggling a career, personal life, and family - plus your side projects, a smidgen of self-care, and the occasional need to sleep - "mindfulness" can sound like just another thing to do. But if you take five minutes for mindfulness now and then, it may not only save your sanity - but also springboard your success.

How do they feel about their decision and what do their stories tell us about contemporary society?
