<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A groundbreaking women's leadership expert and popular conference speaker gives women the practical skills to voice and implement the changes they want to see--in themselves and in the world</b> <p/> In her coaching and programs for women, Tara Mohr saw how women were playing small in their lives and careers, were frustrated by it, and wanted to play bigger. She has devised a proven way for them to achieve their dreams by playing big from the inside out. Mohr's work helping women play bigger has earned acclaim from the likes of Maria Shriver and Jillian Michaels, and has been featured on the <i>Today </i>show, <i> CNN, </i> and a host of other media outlets. <p/> Sheryl Sandberg's <i>Lean In</i> gave many women new awareness about what kinds of changes they need to make to become more successful; yet most women need help implementing them. In the tradition of Brené Brown's <i>Daring Greatly</i>, <i>Playing Big</i> provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, "unhook" from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive good girl habits, and begin taking bold action. <p/> While not all women aspire to end up in the corner office, every woman aspires to something. <i>Playing Big</i> fills a major gap among women's career books; it isn't just for corporate women. The book offers tools to help <i>every</i> woman play bigger--whether she's an executive, community volunteer, artist, or stay-at-home mom. <p/> Thousands of women across the country have been transformed by Mohr's program, and now this book makes the ideas and practices available to everyone who is ready to play big.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Advance praise for <i>Playing Big </i></b> <p/>At last.
