They include: taking doable steps to get from where you are to where you dream of being cultivating both mentors and sponsors (and understanding the difference) navigating the ongoing issues of gender and race bias at work dealing with toxic coworkers, including bosses supercharging the brain for reaching goals incorporating detoxifying mindfulness practices, such as ultra-brief meditation breaks, simple breathing exercises, and power journaling Not just another list of things to do, this invaluable book is there to help in moments of overwhelm or indecision, at the end of a long day, or any time when you need a reminder of your whole-self aspirations and what you're capable of.
