Embracing Your Power

A Woman’s Path to Authentic Leadership and Meaningful Relationships

Marsha L. Clark

Would you like to discover your most authentic, powerful leadership self? Would you like to define success based on your own terms?

When women readers finish Embracing Your Power, they will feel confident, supported, and seen. They will think, I am enough; I’ve got this. Focusing on greater self-awareness as a woman, a leader, and as a powerful and authentic woman leader, Marsha Clark also explores building interpersonal relationships based on a foundation of mutual trust, setting and maintaining boundaries, and managing conflict.

Embracing Your Power is a leadership book targeted to professionally minded women across all sectors. Women in for-profit, non-profit, education, healthcare, the military, religion, government—and homemakers—will benefit from Clark’s unique advice. Because many of her valuable tools and resources are gender-neutral, male readers will also learn how to better work with and for women.

Clark doesn’t just tell us what to do: She effectively shows us how and provides tools and language for practical applications with research, stories, and practice, including reflection questions and exercises. The book provides guidance and a structure for women to develop a vision statement that encompasses both their personal and professional lives. With this toolkit, women will become more effective leaders, and they will be able to lead from their best, most authentic place. They will also be able to live their best lives and pay it forward.

Embracing Your Power can be used by an individual, a book club, mentoring circles, organizational resource groups (focused on women) and potentially even at the organization level to develop curriculum (in conjunction with a membership service with tool availability).
