show your worth: 8 intentional practices for women to emerge as a leader at work

A proven blueprint to accelerate career success and fast track into leadership roles -- especially for women who are underrepresented in their fields.

If you’re a woman, especially a woman of color, you know this already: You face unique challenges and obstacles as you work to scale the corporate ladder. From not seeing other faces in the room that look like you to dealing with the stereotypes and (often unconscious) biases in the workplace, you may know what to do to succeed, but not how to get it done in this environment. Show Your Worth shows you how.

In pages that are both inspirational and practical, Shelmina Babai Abji speaks directly to professional women--especially women of color--about how the power of being intentional and strategic can help transform the headwinds you face into much-needed tailwinds.

Show Your Worth takes you on a deep dive into the 8 Intentional Strategies that will help you achieve success, including:

• Success: Define what success means to you
• Attention: Develop your Personal Success Plan
• Work/Life Balance: Achieve work-life balance in our disrupted world
• Value Creation: Overcome fear, find your voice, and contribute at your maximum capacity
• Growth: Seek relevant and meaningful growth
• Relationships: Connect meaningfully with first-line managers, peers, mentors, and sponsors
• Leadership Branding: Build and preserve your reputation as a leader
• Promotions: Be strategic about earning a promotion

These Intentional Strategies are imperative for women whose confidence can be chipped away daily when they’re overlooked because of negative stereotypes and biases due to differences in race, socio-economic, cultural, or academic backgrounds. Through Abji’s personal experiences and the inspiring stories of other successful women who have applied these strategies in their own lives, you will come to deeply understand just how important your voice is and know that your unique value makes you a force in any room.
