Women Thriving in Leadership: Practices for Cultivating Wholeness and Community

Now available at the FriesenPress Bookstore, Amazon & Indigo

“In a landscape where the gender gap in leadership persists, Women Thriving in Leadership: Practices for Cultivating Wholeness and Community stands out as a beacon of empowerment. This book not only equips women with the tools to embrace their authentic selves in leadership but also addresses the crucial need to break away from the constraints of the prevailing male leadership paradigm. By emphasizing emotional intelligence, empathy, and compassion, it not only aids women in thriving but provides invaluable insights for men seeking a more sustainable and holistic approach to leadership. A must-read for anyone committed to fostering inclusive and effective leadership in today’s evolving landscape.”
