Joanne Sonenshine

On a career path that one could only call circuitous, Joanne Sonenshine learned that what fulfilled her the most was, in many cases, the opposite of what she had originally planned for her journey. The tragedy that struck America on September 11, 2001 changed how she saw her life and her role in the world. It also changed what she thought she wanted in her career. With new priorities, she made some serious course corrections, and pointed herself toward fulfillment – a more complicated and subjective path, but ultimately more rewarding. Now, with the perspective of hindsight, Sonenshine has condensed her (and others’) experiences into ChangeSeekers, a call to everyone who wants to make a difference and find their path to impact. Her message: always question where you are headed and why. Take risks, explore creativity, find new ways of adding experience and relationships to your life. Question authority. Be curious, be brave, and find your passion.

My new book is about women who have beaten the odds. Early on, they heard the whispers….the inner-call to leadership. They answered, and continue to answer it, with fierce passion—and the courage, boldness and resilience required to rise to the next level and the next, and the next. They continually polish their talent with a capacity to work really hard, help others succeed, and play the game fair and honest. They never lose sight that their purpose is to be kind, generous, and to dare greatly to make the world a better place. These women are doers and risk takers. They face their fears head-on. When they misstep, they pick themselves up and use the lesson to inform their steps forward. Along the way, they are patient with the ebb and flow of life. Many become devoted wives, partners and mothers while still building careers and influence. They all remain true to their work as leaders in the world, carrying it out with the grace, diplomacy and fortitude it requires. Welcome to the lessons these amazing women teach us

Lea Woodford

What is your inner critic telling you? How are your values and standards holding you back? What can you do to get yourself out of a depression that’s dragging you down?

These are the kinds of questions you can expect to be asking yourself to get you looking at new solutions and to propel you toward getting what you want in life.

But it doesn’t stop with questions. Lead…Share…Empower provides often simple wisdoms that result in profound “aha moments,” concrete actions for getting past the things that are holding you back, and practical ways of accessing your innate strengths so you naturally start moving toward what you want.

In addition to concepts like “Develop relationships and you will keep customers for life,” and “When things get rough and it seems like the cards are stacked against me, I reflect on past achievements,” the book supplies a wealth of hard-earned wisdom that can make a new impact when presented through Lea’s lens. The exercises at the end of each chapter help you immediately start integrating new practices and turn on the inner light bulbs that illuminate the path to where you want to go.

The book is refreshingly conversational and free of the self-help psycho-jargon often found in volumes promising to change your life. It is based on tried-and-true techniques the author either discovered or developed to further her career or enhance her personal life.

The bottom line is that many books promise and this one delivers. Of course, your inner critic may not approve.

Today women are entering the workforce and leadership field at an extensive rate; however, they are struggling to gain a real perspective on how to get ahead, what is expected, how to build strong alliances, and find work/life strategies. This lack of knowledge is creating a “one step forward two steps back” mentality as the tools required to succeed are hushed. This book focuses on how to pivot into your own empowerment. It explores strategies in leadership, communication, networking, moving forward and success while applying these tools to create harmony at home. Throughout the book, quotes from pivotal women talk about their struggles and how they find solutions both at work and at home.
