Count Me In: A trailblazer's triumph in a world not built for her

by Susan Allen

Discover what is holding you back from the career you were meant to have, the promotion you didn't receive, and the risk you were afraid to accept.
'Count Me In' is the memoir of the trailblazer, Susan Allen - a global leader and one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women. She shares her deeply personal and professional journey (including all her wrong turns), answering the question she's heard the most from young women:
"How did you do it?"
If you feel stuck in the talent pipeline at your company, suffer from imposter syndrome or perfectionism, or wish to achieve better work-life balance, 'Count Me In' is for you.
Susan's journey to the top gives professional women the opportunity to learn strategies to:
- ask for a promotion and accept you have earned it,
- avoid risk averse behaviours that limit your growth and potential,
- acknowledge and kick mom guilt to the curb, and
- overcome life's inevitable setbacks.

A well written account punctuated with humour and difficult personal challenges perfectly illustrates the challenge of women succeeding in the business world through the 80’s until today. Susan’s writing style makes this an easy read with thought provoking questions to help any aspiring women unravel the challenges in today’s work world.

This book is more of a memoir than a self help book. I think most women of this time went through similar feelings and realities about their work life. The difference is that the author rose to the top and made a difference for other women where she could.

A conceptual story of struggle and demonstrating strength. The power of woman being shown and shared.
