Technology has disrupted nearly every industry, blowing up many careers, but creating millions more. Many women feel forced to pivot to stay relevant, while others choose to pivot to keep engaged. Or we may be struggling to get back into the workforce after taking time off to raise kids. We hear words like hustle and grit and are told we need to think strategically, cultivate our own brands, and sell ourselves. But how do we do that? How do we pivot or radically relaunch our careers? How do we become unapologetically bold and badass-the boss of our own future? Getting ahead today requires the action-first, fake-it-'til-you-make-it ethos celebrated in the tech world. It's the tech industry that's redefined our culture, and perhaps not surprisingly, it's those Silicon Valley lessons that can help all women in all stages of their careers succeed. This mindset is not typically a female one. Women tend to be cautious. We overthink our next moves. We might be safer . . . but we're also stuck. What if women embraced the startup spirit? What if we had the confidence to take chances, even if we knew we may fail first? What if instead of agonizing over which step to take, we leapt forward quickly? Fearless and Free empowers women, showing us how to lean into our strengths, increase our confidence, and follow successful lessons from Silicon Valley that can help us pivot in any career-and unlock a world of possibilities. Author Wendy Sachs talked to a wide range of women who faced down fears, roadblocks, and failures to reinvent themselves. The book weaves their insights and experiences together with current research and actionable advice.

But millions of us cannot  afford  to make that choice. And millions more  choose  to work because we love our careers. So how are women holding on to financially necessary or stimulating and rewarding careers and still being engaged mothers? Wendy Sachs, journalist and mother of two, set out to find what's really happening at the intersection of motherhood and work today. Based on her in-depth interviews with mothers from diverse backgrounds,  How She Really Does It  explores the creative and courageous ways in which stay-at- work moms are making it happen. Here are the moms next door-as well as lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, fashion designers, journalists, and television personalities-who are navigating the everyday work\/home conflicts, and, yes, dealing with the guilt. Through it all, they are empowered career women  and  caring, present mothers. A modern working woman's survival guide,  How She Really Does It  will give you hope that even if you can't have it all, you can have at least  some  of it  all  of the time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50686796988689,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50686799413521,"sku":"CIN0738210625VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335210823953,"sku":"NLS9780738210629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52866776629521,"sku":"CIN0738210625G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53127834403089,"sku":"GOR003398841","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53348659626257,"sku":"NIN9780738210629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0738210625.jpg?v=1750743742"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-wendy-sachs.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
