Play You, the Role of a Lifetime
Ignite your passion, expand your influence, and catapult your success—by being who you are, wherever you are.
Play You, the Role of a Lifetime is a powerful guide to bridging the gap between who we are and how we lead—with presence, purpose, and humanity."
Erica Keswin, Workplace Strategist and Bestselling Author of Bring Your Human to Work
In our fast-changing world, there’s often a chasm between who we are, who we think we "should" be, and how we show up for others. It can dim our confidence, connection, and—especially—our believability.
Pam Sherman is a leadership coach, actor, and recovering lawyer who helps people around the world bridge this gap. In Play You, the Role of a Lifetime, she’ll share her counterintuitive solution: The techniques great actors use to create genuine characters can help you:
- Explore your own unique and powerful character
- Dream and share your inspiring story
- Grow beyond your believability derailers—unhelpful archetypes and scripts
- Excite the people you want to impact
Through humour, storytelling, and psychology, Play You, the Role of a Lifetime will help you step “onstage” with courage and conviction.
“As someone who has spent her lifetime helping people forge meaningful connections, I found Pam’s book to be a powerful guide for showing up and making every moment count.”
Susan McPherson, Author of The Lost Art of Connecting
“Anyone on-air knows acting techniques give you the discipline to create authenticity. Pam knows and shows us how the two can meld perfectly.”
Dan Patrick, Host of the Dan Patrick Show
