Highly recommend for anyone, particularly women, who struggles with finding or staying within your power. This is a book that requires you to think and dig deep to fully understand how to build, maintain and foster power in others. For those just starting out or those who been in the working world for longer than they would like to admit.

Some really great strategies provided in how to remain in your power in all kinds of situations, at work, with friends/family etc… really enjoyed the examples provided and how she provided her own experiences as well. Felt it was a bit of a drag to read but it was packed with some great info!

regain your power - a must read!

Like many of us I have that internal monologue that can and does undermine my self-confidence, creates doubt, and results in hesitation or miss opportunities - it moves me out of my power.
Sharon Melnicks new book In Your Power is a literal page-turner. I found myself nodding in agreement at the examples, and appreciated the practical insights and tactics she shares from her research. This is a must-read recommendation from me to leaders at all levels, and as importantly a must re-read for myself.
