Here, she presents strategies women can use to develop and exhibit more confidence in the workplace and in all areas of life. The ideas are based on the Birkman Method, an assessment tool used in executive coaching and leadership development, and are illustrated with real-life anecdotes and interviews with female leaders. Killelea outlines practical steps for building supportive relationships and networking, developing reputation, delivering results, overcoming obstacles, adapting to change, and dealing with disappointments. Other areas discussed include coaching and being coached, delegating, using data, understanding the politics of progress, and developing emotional intelligence.
