INTENTIONING

Gloria Feldt

Sex, Power, Pandemics, and How women Will Take the Lead for (Everyone's) Good

Intentioning by best-selling author Gloria Feldt will help you envision the life and career you might have thought were impossible dreams, then give you the courage and actionable tools to achieve them.
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and a pandemic of racial injustice that together shook our world to its core and revealed deep fault lines in our culture, Gloria Feldt, New York Times best-selling author, speaker, commentator, international leadership expert, successful CEO, and feminist icon, shows how we can seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity created by massive disruption to build back stronger with diverse women at the center of the recovery. In Intentioning: Sex, Power, Pandemics, and How Women Will Take The Lead for (Everyone's) Good, Feldt inspires diverse women to embrace their personal power to lead with intention, confidence, and joy. It comes as no surprise to her that women flexed their formidable muscles when needed most, representing a disproportionate number of essential workers during the darkest days of the coronavirus global outbreak and leading the charge against racism in the United States. But this book is decidedly about the future, taking the leadership lessons learned from this disruption and creating a better world for all. Feldt not only unveils the next step in advancing gender parity in all spheres of business and life, but she also lays out the vital next steps in the overall advancement of our economy and our civilization. The "Lead Like a Woman" framework and the "9 Leadership Intentioning Tools" she presents in this book will prepare, motivate, and propel women of all diversities and intersectionalities now so that by 2025, women will have attained their fair and equal share of leadership positions across all sectors of industry and society. We simply cannot squander women's talents when so much hangs in the balance. Women must be at the vanguard of reimagining and reconstructing a vibrant and sustainable future for us all. Gloria Feldt is an acclaimed expert on women, power, and leadership with frontline leadership experience, a bestselling author, and in-demand keynote speaker. She is cofounder and president of Take The Lead, whose mission reflects her life's passion: to prepare, develop, inspire, and propel women to take their fair and equal share of leadership positions across all sectors by 2025 by providing breakthrough training, mentoring and coaching role modeling, and thought leadership.

We need this book now. This pandemic has disproportionately negatively impacted women and we not only have ground to make up, but we must take our rightful place as more equitable partners in leadership across all sectors. Our intentions, individual and collective, will drive our actions which in turn will manifest outcomes.

Never has there been a better time to rethink leadership after a period of intense disruption that heightened the intense challenges already faced by women and minorities. This is a fresh and liberating approach to rethinking and reaching gender parity in leadership and life.

Few books on women's leadership include intersectionality and racial justice; few books on racial justice include women's leadership. Yet the two must go forward together or neither is likely to succeed. Feldt weaves together examples of diverse women's experiences and practical tools are presented to lead toward more equitable organizations and world for all.

If you're ready to leave the past behind and lead with intention, Gloria is the go-to expert on "taking the lead" and this guide further highlights her knowledge and expertise as well as amplifying stories of women who've battled back, and succeeded, with intention.

A fresh approach that helps women be more authentically who we are and appreciates our unique powers of intention.
