Publisher Description
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
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 Today show, CNN, and a host of other media outlets.
Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In 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 Daring Greatly, Playing Big 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.
While not all women aspire to end up in the corner office, every woman aspires to something. Playing Big fills a major gap among women’s career books; it isn’t just for corporate women. The book offers tools to help every woman play bigger—whether she’s an executive, community volunteer, artist, or stay-at-home mom.
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
For many women, the secret to a more fulfilling life is learning to tune out the outdated messages that bombard us. Stanford MBA Tara Mohr knows that all too often, women are taught to think small in a way that can hobble them both personally and professionally. In her clear and wide-ranging guide, she offers practical tools to help us reject those negative notions, reconnect with our intuition, and find the courage to think and act on a bigger scale. We connected with her easy-to-follow exercises and journaling prompts, such as imagining a mentorship interview with your older and wiser self. Her actionable advice—like cutting out qualifiers like “just” and “actually” which minimize our points, or learning to incorporate criticism and revision as part of your process—is right on point. Whatever your dreams, Mohr shows you how to live a bigger life and achieve greatness with grace.
