Wynter’s 20 years as a corporate HR leader—and experience as an executive coach—have afforded her a unique perspective, and she uses that perspective to advocate for women’s success in a male-dominated industry. But Wynter doesn’t stop there; she also provides actionable steps for men in management roles to cultivate leadership achievements for women within their corporations, arguing that gender equality will only be gained through “partnership[s] with men.” She maps out strategies for overcoming fear, emphasizes the importance of accountability, and teaches women to seize their power and readjust their mindset and expectations, through tools such as her "6a Spiritual Practice for Courageous Women,” a daily exercise focused on six steps—abiding, awareness, appreciation, affirmation, action, and applause—to securing success.
"Dismantling an oppressive system is both an internal mindset endeavor as well as an external systemic and culture work," Wynter explains, and her advice can be applied outside of the workforce as well, to "liv[e] a life imbued with purposeful power." She packs the guide with real life examples, many of them culled from her own “gender-aware transformational coaching,” and readers will find her pointers as sensible as they are easy to follow. For women eager to take control of their road to career success—and men ready to insist on gender equality—this is a must read.
Takeaway: Inspiring resource for women to achieve career success.
