[Anne Wondra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book years ago; and kept it and shared it, because there's a chapter in there about naming the credibility each of us already has by virtue of our particular, specific life experiences. Those things we know from having lived our life. From a confidence-creating, leadership, and life-appreciating perspective, we are most credible and powerful when we're speaking from a place of our lived experiences. In everyday interactions and relationships, we get to own and appreciate where life has taken us, who we've become. Just being ourselves influences our surroundings. That was an a-ha moment and a blueprint to get started.

I think it would be great to have a woman president if we could find the right person. The men are sure messing the country, give us woman a chance. A woman would be good because we have less ego, can listen better, we work and play with others well and we get stuff down. We are also good at compromise.

The printing format makes this book difficult to read - I dread picking up the book & trying to read it for this very reason, although I believe the content is likely worthwhile.
