Are you letting your lack of authority paralyze you?

One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don't buy it. Great leaders lead with or without the authority and learn to unleash their influence wherever they are.

With practical wisdom and humor, Clay Scroggins will help you nurture your vision and cultivate influence, even when you lack authority in your organization. And he will free you to become the great leader you want to be so you can make a difference right where you are. Even when you're not in charge.

Think your way to a more confident, successful you.

Women's brains are different. It's not one-size-fits both men and women. Yet many women still believe the myths we tell ourselves.

• Myth: Women make emotional decisions when stressed.
• Myth: Women suffer more from unhappiness than men.
• Myth: Women have to act like men to be effective leaders.

Dispel the myths! Stop underestimating your abilities. Stop downplaying your successes. And stop apologizing.

In Think Like a Girl, award-winning psychologist, professor, and TEDx speaker Dr. Tracy Packiam Alloway will help you discover how:

• sticking your hand in a bucket of ice can help you make a less emotional decision
• changing one word can provide a buffer against depressive thoughts
• adopting a more relationship-centric leadership approach can be better for mental health

Dare to think differently. Dare to think like a girl.
