Description
One woman's story of career, leadership, and family
Discover what is holding you back from the career you were meant to have, the promotion you didn't receive, and the risk you were afraid to accept.
Count Me In is the memoir of the trailblazer, Susan Allen-a global leader and one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women. She shares her deeply personal and professional leadership journey (including all her wrong turns), answering the question she's heard the most from young women:
"How did you do it?"
If you feel stuck in the talent pipeline at your company, suffer from imposter syndrome or perfectionism, or wish to achieve better work-life balance, Count Me In is for you.
Susan's journey to the top gives professional women the opportunity to learn strategies to:ask for a promotion and accept you have earned it,
avoid risk averse behaviours that limit your growth and potential,
acknowledge and kick mom guilt to the curb, and
overcome life's inevitable setbacks.
All proceeds from the sale of this book is being donated to support pediatric cardiology needs in Toronto and a scholarship for young women in STEM programs.
