"Women have always been in the lead. We’re just not being quiet about it anymore."
Sounds good on paper, right?
But do you ever look at wildly-successful, confident, ceiling-shattering women and think…
What does she have that I don’t?
If you’ve ever felt fake, burnt-out, less-than, or (God forbid) like a stranger in your own skin, it’s time to let you in on a dirty little secret;
No one wakes up one sunny morning and is magically an effective leader.
Not in business. Not in life. Not ever.
As an entrepreneur, speaker, author, business coach, and founder of the Leading Lady program, AliceAnne Loftus has spent her life learning that true leadership isn’t just another tick on a to-do list.
In this hilarious, heart-wrenching memoir, AliceAnne draws on the roots of her own journey to unpack the gritty leadership lessons behind the worldwide Leading Lady phenomenon.
Unapologetically funny, often sad, and always authentic, TAKE THE LEAD is an open invitation to discover that leadership is a living, breathing process rather than an outcome—and that the power to change your life, your community, and your world lies at the core of your authentic self.
