52 Weeks of Wisdom: A Guide to Self Leadership for Women, Volume 1

It’s no secret that women face an uphill battle when trying to succeed in the working world.

• Just do something.

Whether you feel utterly lost or are already the mistress of your domain, you’ll find the wisdom in this book to be extremely helpful in your personal life as well as your professional life. Discover and put to work your values, beliefs, passions, and motivations with help from Farrell’s decades of experience. You have the power to become the woman you want to be—but first you must discover who she is.
