Leading Like a Lady: How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Ceiling

At a time when women outnumber men in the workplace, hold more than 51 percent of managerial positions, and start new businesses every 60 seconds, many women still feel that their careers are impeded by glass ceilings, glass walls, glass cliffs, or glass cages. What if all that glass is simply a smoke screen? In the first installment of the Leading Like a Lady book series, “How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Ceiling,” Dr. Nadia dispels the myth of the external glass ceiling. She reveals what is truly stalling your next career advancement: your self-imposed, internal glass ceiling. The best part? Dr. Nadia explains in her no-nonsense, charming manner how to gracefully shatter that ceiling. It is time for you to walk in the room, own your unique leadership style, and take command of your career. This book is your sledgehammer to getting the accolades, achievements, and salary you are worthy of receiving.

Dr. Nadia Brown is a leadership expert, trainer, and author. She is the founder of Doyenne Leadership, a leadership development firm dedicated to helping female professionals make their mark as leaders. Dr. Nadia is also a contributing author of Hopelifter and the author of the forthcoming book Leading Like a Lady: How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Ceiling (release date July 2013). Dr. Nadia helps female professionals, particularly new managers, develop their authentic leadership style and overcome the challenges they face as women leaders. She empowers women to shatter their internal glass ceiling and challenges them to take action so that they may achieve the career success they desire. Through her own experiences in corporate America and through her doctoral research, Dr. Nadia discovered that many women struggle with being taken serious as a leader. She also learned that women lose an average of $434,000 throughout the course of their careers. This sparked Dr. Nadia s passion to help women become more authentic, confident leaders and take charge of their careers. Dr. Nadia believes that far too many women have built their entire lives and careers around the concept of the glass ceiling. So much so that they have taken themselves out of the game. She believes that before female leaders can lean in or sit at the table, they must first walk in the room.
