Description

 Achieve Success Without Sacrificing Yourself

Women in the workforce encounter countless conflicting messages: Be more of a leader . . . but don’t be so assertive! Be more cooperative . . . but don’t be so indecisive! Be more serious . . . but don’t be so demanding! Be more approachable . . . but don’t be so nice! Is it any wonder we find ourselves frustrated and burned out as we try to follow the unwritten rules for getting ahead that lead us to walk an impossible tightrope?   

Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, an award-winning speaker and physician, found herself in this same position. Despite her many accomplishments, trying to satisfy everyone else’s expectations of how she should act and react left her feeling empty and exhausted. She ultimately realized that the secret to personal and professional success was to live in the space between grit and grace. Sasha shares, through her own experiences—and those of other professional women—that taking steps to live authentically is key. Through insightful quizzes and journaling exercises and Sasha’s guiding hand, you will:

· Gain courage to stop doing more · Understand the power of your inner voice · Recognize why you are burning out · Identify key steps to build a supportive tribe · Become empowered to live authentically

It’s time to take the leap of faith and step into the authentic success we deserve. Between Grit and Grace will show us the way.
