Finding Authentic Rhythm - by Joy Fitzgerald (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Finding Authentic Rhythm: How to Win on YOUR Terms in Corporate America

Women, especially women of color, comprise one of the fastest-growing segments in Corporate America. Yet, they are often underrepresented, underpaid, invisible, and in many cases, existing as an "only" or one of a few at their corporate tables. They feel burdened to prove their worthiness and fear they must change and compromise the very essence of who they are to be successful. These women do not realize they are slowly losing their authentic rhythm!

Best-selling author, Joy Fitzgerald, pulls together a wealth of experiences to help women successfully thrive in their careers. From being told she was not enough to realizing she was more than enough, Joy walks readers through a step-by-step process to help them discover their superpower and successfully win on their terms. She has spent over 25 years in Corporate America and masterfully broke through "concrete" ceilings. Her career spans from starting as a front-line employee to being a renowned top corporate executive and highly sought-after thought leader. In this life-changing book, she unveils what readers need to know but aren't taught to effectively succeed in their careers.

Finding Authentic Rhythm takes readers on a journey to:

- Find their purpose

- Navigate the unwritten rules of success

- Stand out on purpose

- Become strategic versus busy

- Slay in their own lane

Readers will be guided through the journey of authenticity with practical advice, engaging tools, reflective questions, and real-life scenarios. Authenticity is like a dance in which you need the rhythm and beat to figure out your best moves. Finding Authentic Rhythm helps women regain their power, maximize their potential, win the desired promotion, and live authentically. For any woman who has lost her way or feels stuck in her career, this book will provide a fail-proof recipe to win with the authentic version of herself, no matter her age or stage.
