Woman of Influence: 9 Steps to Build Your Brand, Establish Your Legacy, and Thrive Hardcover -

by Jo Miller


From the publisher

Reinvent yourself as a woman of influence--and become the leader you were meant to be

Have you ever felt like your organization's best-kept secret? Are you the go-to person for work that downplays your potential? Do you want to hone your leadership skills while still staying true to who you are? If you answered yes to any of these questions, or if your reputation as a standout contributor is not translating into career advancement, Woman of Influence is for you.

With more than two decades of experience working with hundreds of thousands of women and clients including eBay, GM, Microsoft, and more, Be Leaderly CEO Jo Miller has the strategies, stories, and research to help women shift their focus from doing to leading. In Woman of Influence, she provides a practical, hands-on roadmap that walks you through 9 specific steps to build your brand, establish your legacy, and thrive. Each step is reinforced with self-assessments, inspiring exercises, and checklists that have been road-tested by tens of thousands of professional women.

From the rear cover

"Jo inspires you to think deeply about what kind of leader you want to be and then gives you the roadmap to get there. Following her guidance will exercise your emotional intelligence
skills, as well as make you a better leader."
--Jean Greaves, PhD, international bestselling coauthor of The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, and Leadership 2.0 and Cofounder of TalentSmart, Inc.

"Jo's highly practical framework will inspire you to discover the kind of leader you already are, identify and magnify your most powerful strengths, and stand out in your organization."
--Jack Zenger, bestselling author of The Extraordinary Leader and CEO and Cofounder of Zenger Folkman

"Reinvention is the best form of career insurance, and Woman of Influence is a master class in reinvention for any aspiring leader."
--Dorie Clark, author of Reinventing You and Stand Out, and executive education faculty at Duke University Fuqua School of Business

"Linear or conventional pathways to leadership really do not exist. Jo's book helps all of us begin where we are, with a thought-provoking and practical process that helps identify our leadership strengths, develop a leader's mindset, and ultimately own the trajectory of our career."
--Carmen Twillie Ambar, president of Oberlin College

"Jo Miller gets it exactly right. You establish yourself as a leader by being clear about what you authentically have to offer and then translating your strengths in a way that compels notice. This self-marketing matters as much as all the hard work and heavy lifting you do, which is why Jo's book is essential for women seeking to navigate a satisfying path forward."
--Sally Helgesen, author of How Women Rise, The Female Advantage, and The Web of Inclusion

"Your performance does not speak for itself. That is what I tell women leaders when they negotiate for job opportunities they want and deserve. You have to make your value visible in a currency that has value to the person you want to negotiate with. Jo Miller devotes an entire chapter to this challenge and offers practical advice, with clear examples, of how women leaders can use their accomplishments to make their value visible to get what they want and deserve."
--Deborah M. Kolb, PhD, author of Negotiating at Work, named by Time, Inc. as one of the best negotiation books of 2015

"If you've ever attended one of Jo's leadership programs, you'll know why she receives off-the-charts reviews. Now, Woman of Influence gives professional women everywhere access to her guiding principles for leading with influence."
-- Sarah Alter, president & CEO of Network of Executive Women

"Professional women, especially those in technical roles like me have a burning desire but an uphill battle to leave a legacy of technical brilliance and integrity. Jo Miller's Woman of Influence is a groundbreaking guide that I recommend to all professional women who are ready to take the next step in establishing themselves as leaders, influencers, and role models."
--Serpil Bayraktar, distinguished engineer, founder of Cisco Women in Tech, and global chair of Women in Science and Engineering at Cisco

"If you're just getting started in your career, feel stalled in your current position, or can't figure out what's holding you back, Woman of Influence is the book for you. I have seen Jo Miller's work transform the lives of countless women for over 15 years--and this book lays out the exact tools you need to become the leader you were meant to be."
--Deanna Kosaraju, founder and CEO of Global Tech Women

"Jo's leadership programs have made a remarkable impact for women leaders at MetLife. Now, with the advice laid out in the pages of Woman of Influence, anyone can advance their careers thanks to her expertise and wisdom."
--Rabih Haber, head of human resources of MetLife Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific

"Woman of Influence is a must-have guidebook to leading at the next level. Buy this book for your emerging leaders and accelerate their transformation."
--Olivia Shen Green, head of diversity and inclusion of Logitech

"There's never been a better time for women to step up and provide authentic, no-nonsense leadership. This guide is packed with practical exercises to bring out the best in you and take your leadership skills to the next level. Whether you're starting out or approaching the C-suite, Jo's insights will help you become the leader you were meant to be."
--Jen Dalitz, CEO of Women in Banking & Finance Inc. (Australia)

"Woman of Influence is a must-read for any women who wants to thrive as a leader. No matter where you are in your career, Jo's advice will help you become a more dynamic leader--and have others recognize all that you bring to the table."
--Tonya Hoopes, managing partner of Hoopes Events and former executive director of the National Association of Women MBAs

"At all stages of their careers, women face strong headwinds in their path to leadership due to systemic barriers. Based on her decades of experience developing women leaders at all stages of their careers, Jo Miller shares the strategies she has seen be most effective - with a sense of humor and playfulness that will woo the reader."
--Caroline Simard, PhD, managing director of VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab of Stanford University

"When our organization is seeking tactical authentic leadership development for women, Jo is at the top of our list. Her work to clearly identify and support pathways to leadership is critically important as we look to advance women leaders at all levels."
--Tiffany O'Donnell, CEO of Women Lead Change

"Too many books are big on talk and short on action. Jo's book is a practical cookbook for aspiring leaders with all the recipes they need for success."
--Jeannie Gardner, GM of the Center of Excellence for Shell and National President of Women's Energy Network (2016-2017)

"Jo inspires you to be proud of your authentic self rather than trying to become a prototypical, one-size-fits-all leader. You can become more successful doing more of what you love. Her step-by-step approach teaches you how to find your strength and how to market it."
--Maureen Fan, CEO and co-founder of 6-time Emmy winning Baobab Studios

"Too often talented women wait for their talents and accomplishments to be noticed and rewarded by others. In this book, Jo Miller offers great advice and exercises to help you raise your own game to the next level of leadership."
--JoAnna Garcia Sohovich, CEO of The Chamberlain Group, Inc.

"There's power in surrounding yourself with people who see the leader in you. A strong network of supporters is key to accomplishing amazing things and in this book, Jo shows how to shift your mindset and rebalance where you focus your attention in favor of more leading, less doing."
--Georgene Huang, CEO and co-founder of Fairygodboss

"Claiming your value starts with understanding where your power comes from. This book is packed with practical techniques for establishing credibility, growing your influence, and asserting yourself as a leader."
--Sarah McCrary, CEO of GasBuddy

"Whether you're returning to work after a hiatus, or launching yourself to the next career level, Jo inspires you to think deeply about the kind of leader you want to be and gives you the springboard to get there."
--Carol Fishman Cohen, co-founder of iRelaunch

"This book is like getting career advice from your best girlfriend. Jo tells it to you straight, but also gives you the tools you need to evolve your leadership to the next level. Every working woman would benefit greatly from reading Woman of Influence. If you want to be educated, entertained, and inspired, pick this book up!"
--Iesha Berry, human resource and diversity & inclusion executive
