Tattoos and Pearls (Paperback or Softback)

Tattoos and Pearls is a groundbreaking leadership book for professionals who want to rise without erasing their identity. Executive coach Miriam Simon blends memoir, personal development, and career strategy to show readers, especially women, first-gen professionals, and BIPOC leaders, how to build success through authenticity, resilience, and lived experience.

Instead of following the traditional corporate script, Miriam carved her own path, one built on courage, street wisdom, emotional intelligence, and the power of owning your story. She exposes the myth of “fitting in” and replaces it with a new model of leadership rooted in self-trust and sovereignty.

Readers will learn to build executive presence without conforming, navigate workplace culture, strengthen their leadership mindset, and turn adversity into strategic advantage through Simon’s signature 2-Step Leadership Method: I.N.K. and P.E.A.R.L.S.

Perfect for readers seeking authentic leadership, career advancement, resilience, mindset transformation, and professional growth, this book empowers you to lead boldly, break ceilings, and build success on your own terms.

If you want a real, raw, practical blueprint for becoming a powerful leader without losing who you are, Tattoos and Pearls delivers.
