Your Worth - by Cheryl B King (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

What if the most important portfolio you will ever craft isn't financial at all?

In Your Worth, institutional investment leader Cheryl B. King reveals a powerful truth she discovered over decades advising pensions, endowments, and foundations: the same principles that grow strong financial portfolios can also shape a strong life.

Through candid stories from her own journey-from a determined young woman navigating male-dominated finance to a nationally respected investment strategist and mentor-King shows how confidence, resilience, and meaningful success are built the same way wealth is: through disciplined choices that compound over time.

Blending personal memoir with practical wisdom, Your Worth introduces a refreshing framework for living intentionally. King guides readers through the essential assets of a well-lived life: independence, mentorship, relationships, purpose, and the courage to rebalance when circumstances change. Along the way, she offers tools for designing your own "life portfolio" grounded in clarity about what truly matters.
