Description
POWER is featured in the Elizabeth Gilbert Onward Book Club.
Untamed by Glennon Doyle 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.
'Kemi's work changed my life and the content in this book will change yours too. If you are committed to personal development on your own terms, you want Kemi walking alongside you for the journey.' – Taryn Brumfitt, founder of The Body Image Movement
'To me, Kemi has always epitomised grace and calmness - a quiet strength and assuredness that you can't help but feel more centred around. POWER is a reflection of this strength and assuredness and it's my hope that we can all learn from this incredible guide and live and lead just a little bit more like Kemi!' – Emma Isaacs, founder of Business Chicks
'Kemi Nekvapil is passionate, fearless and she espouses living a powerful life. As a coach and speaker, Kemi actively seeks to assist women to find ways to live their best lives. As an author, she has pulled together her experiences and knowledge to make it possible for YOU too!' – Dr Anita Heiss
