From one of Hispanic magazine’s most influential Latinas comes an empowering guide for businesswomen looking to become better communicators in their professional and personal lives.

Dr. Yasmin Davidds has spent most of her professional life empowering women leaders. In this new book, the award-winning entrepreneur, psychologist, speaker, and author continues her lifelong mission, offering helpful tools and strategies to people of all backgrounds who are looking to transform the way they communicate in the workplace.
