Synopsis

Frustrated? Burned out? Stuck? It's time to reframe things and move forward!

You know the drill. Work your ass off, second guess yourself, stress over all the details and watch others get ahead while you stand still. Or...you’ve landed that great position and your impostor syndrome won’t let you enjoy it for two seconds. It sucks, you’re tired of it and you want something different for yourself. But there’s an unexpected reason it happens and a way we can take control.

Unstuck shows women how to harness the power of perspectives to re-envision and reinvent their approach to work and, well, life, to achieve more, stress less and overcome the barriers that stand in their way. With a fresh, no-holds-barred approach, Lia Garvin, executive coach and operations leader at influential companies including Microsoft, Apple and Google, provides you with the tools you need to nail the technique of reframing, helping you transform the way you manage conflict, feedback, negotiations, decision- making and more. Learn how to speak up for yourself with confidence, silence your inner critic and open up a whole new realm of professional possibilities.

Jam-packed with persuasive research, compelling examples and confidence- building exercises, Unstuck will get you moving again in the direction you want at the speed you desire, no matter what―or who―is holding you back.
