"If you have always been successful, but feel your efforts are not being recognized or valued within your organization, this book is for you. Sharon's warmth and wisdom showed me all the things I could control to be in my "power"-to start seeing myself in the way I wanted others to see me, which enabled me to achieve the promotion I had been working for my entire career but had seemed out of reach. I now feel rock-solid as a confident leader, and use the tools she taught me to navigate my new role leading the team responsible for growth of a large, multibillion-dollar, publicly traded company. She's truly changed my life."

"In Your Power hits between the eyes, it's so beautifully, powerfully, and honestly written. It completely impacted me, supported me, made me feel 'seen' as a Mom and head of a busines that I didn't even want to let go of the feeling at the end. I have a bazillion pink underlines, notes in the margins, and this morning I was absolutely compelled to make a video for my team reading a passage from the book as a way to start our charge for the week. Right on Dr. Menick, I love this book!"

-Amber Vilhauer, CEO of NGNG Enterprises

Sharon Melnick hits all of those out of the park by giving you an all-access pass to understanding how to tap into your power in the midst of chaos, with a bonus key to understanding how others operate. I'm now producing masterpieces that matter most from the boardroom to the dinner table. Now that I know how to handle situations that put me out of my power, my energy and self-happiness are at the highest ever."

-LaTasha Stewart, Finance Executive

"Every one of us has moments where we're not our best. We freeze up when we should talk. We snap when we should reflect. We hide when we should be bold. And in those inopportune moments, we lose ourselves. We forfeit our power to be good and do good. But thank goodness Dr. Sharon Melnick is now here to accompany us through the messy intricacies of those moments. In In Your Power, Sharon sits right beside us, accompanying us, whispering in our ear about how to reflect on those moments, and prepare for the next many moments with fresh eyes, new responses, and a whole heart. She asks us to face hard questions and embrace rescripted truths about ourselves. She invites us (back) to our power. You'll want to read this book v.e.r.y. slowly. Twice. You can't possibly come away unchanged for the better."
