Leading Without Losing Yourself

Leading Without Losing Yourself is truly a guide to self-care and burnout prevention for women i n leadership. Receiving my copy in the mail while relishing over the title brought me joy, excitement, and possibility.
Breathing a sigh o f relief, / said, "Yes! Finally! Someone gets it-and gets me. " Whether it's through small real-life anecdotes that begin each chapter or reflection questions that evoke awareness, Dr. Gumbs-Bennett
understands the armor women i n leadership wear designed to shield oneself from the world's assumptions about female leaders. This book gives women permission t o feel, heal, and release themselves from
such expectations.

As a female working i n corporate America, / especially find comfort in the book's stories and tools that allowed me to rethink m y priorities, put myself back o n the list, and be okay with doing these two things for me; and that b y doing so, / model authentic leadership and give permission for other women t o d o the same. Leading Without Losing Yourself has become a suitcase staple and a reminder that "I matter".
