The women tell of going from being an overwhelmed high achiever to moving into the state of flow; finding infinite possibilities after losing everything; going from treating the body as a burden to treating it as a guide; pivoting from seeking externally to looking within; going from saying “I'm not enough” to declaring “I am the answer”; finding freedom from codependency; and going from stating “This is the end” to proclaiming “The best is yet to come!”
The women featured are Suyen Angbetic Bailey, Leslie Sandra Black, Debbie Shuman Espinoza, Heather Ann Fink, Fiorella Garibaldi, Dawn Gomez, Sandra Ann Grant, Aurora Hood Hammond, Judith Krug, Barbara Harumi Otis, Silvia Rios, Dionnie Simone, Trissa Tismal-Capili and Gale Ziccarelli.

Never Get Their Coffee: Empowering Fearless Leadership

Drawing from her own experiences and those of other executives, the author offers a myriad of strategies to empower women to claim their well-deserved seat at the table. The book guides readers to understand the importance of recognizing and owning their internal power, especially in times of crisis. It sheds light on the unconscious biases that women, not just men, exhibit towards one another. Such biases can hinder progressive leadership. Readers will learn to leverage the power of the 3 Cs (communication, coordination and compromise), and to own their successes without apology.
The book also emphasizes the positive power of practicing wellness and self-care habits and encourages readers to step out of their comfort zones. It reminds readers that while there will always be obstacles on the path to growth, nothing holds them back more than their own self-doubts.
