Resumen del Editor

This audiobook features a foreword written and narrated by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Glennon Doyle's Untamed meets Brené Brown's leadership lessons in this essential guide for women, with hugely important discussions of race and privilege woven in.
Kemi Nekvapil knows the feelings of fear, vulnerability and powerlessness. Growing up in foster care, many times she had the doors to validation and opportunity closed to her because of her race and gender. Learning to make her own choices and use her voice without apology were her first steps towards a bold, purpose-filled life.

'This book is beautiful, it's thoughtful, it's instructive.' Elizabeth Gilbert
Now a highly respected executive and personal coach, Kemi has created a five-step framework to guide other women to build their power through:

Presence to understand what is and isn't working in our lives
Ownership of our personal narratives, especially our power stories
Wisdom about our needs, boundaries and growth
Equality as part of the diverse human family, all of us worthy
Responsibility for our choices, healing and happiness

Blending inspiring stories with reflective coaching practices, POWER provides the tools to navigate the challenges that impact who we are and how we lead, from discrimination and burnout to trauma and self-doubt.

Reclaim your power and create a life of true joy and fulfilment.

powerful

loved every minute of listening to this book. I would high five and fist bump myself. also reminding myself when I have felt small just like the author. great questions. interesting stories. don't miss it.

Profound

Thank you Kemi, for being unapologetically honest and raw. This book spoke to my soul. I am so grateful for the opportunity to see more clearly and to live a more empowered life for myself and for the women in my life!

Brilliant, rethink what power means, looks and feels like

Kemi’s words, reflections and ability to chunk the weight of historical structural inequality plus personal journeys into concrete actions is gold. And her own voice was the only possibility for the audio book. Read, inspire, share.

Good, but my advice is to buy the book!

This is a wonderful book and a great guided journey. For me, some books are not best-suited to the audio format (especially since I like to listen while exercising or multitasking). Chapters are short and include thoughtful exercises that I found were most effective when I focused and wrote them in my journal. I had ordered the book but started the audiobook while waiting for it to arrive. Now I’m totally using the printed book. If you’re called to this book as an investment in yourself, congratulations. Take the time to do it right regardless of the format that works best for you.

awesome!

loved it! best 7 hours this year; perhaps the last decade. I know I'll listen to it in part or full as a valuable resource of how to hold my power as a woman. thank you Kemi.

I so wanted to luv this bk

I’m 1/2 way thru.. & Ugh..
I wish she would’v inserted “female minority” in place of “woman of color” (specific as a brown woman). Unfortunately th bk way more directed twds black women. A lot more of us understand & identity w/ her experience than she realizes. It would b a lot more helpful to directed to all minority women if she stopped just focusing on her black experience.. As a Latina I identify w/ her story, but feel dismissed when she keeps identifying as a black woman.. when the power of her bk applies to ALL MINORITY WOMEN.. it felt odd when she keeps describing her black experience.
I’m 1/2 way thru & uninspired to continue it.
I don’t feel that she realizes that her experience applies across th board for all minority women. Not just black or brown girls.

Feels more like a memoir, of her experience w/ power.. & feels like she’s talking to herself, rather than to the reader/listener.

Excellent narration.
