This is how we rise Reach your highest potential, empower women, lead change in the world

Claudia Chan

Book - 2017

We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity for women. Yet despite centuries of progress, true equality remains out of reach. What will it take to bring us to a tipping point? To leadership expert and social entrepreneur Claudia Chan, the key is shifting to a "me for we" mindset, where individuals root their effort in a mission far bigger than personal success, and getting everyone--women and men--to work together for social change. By lifting others, we not only make the world better, but we can also discover our greatest meaning and achieve lasting fulfillment. In This Is How We Rise, Claudia encourages readers to join a new breed of leaders and become change makers for gender equality. Distilling wisdom and insights from her... own personal and professional journey, she shares key lessons learned and offers a toolbox of thirteen foundational habits. Claudia shows how to define and develop your own purpose, vision, and pathway to becoming a thriving agent for good. Whether you own your own business or are part of the corporate world, whether you're at the top of your field or are just starting out in your career, you have the power to lead change and achieve extraordinary success in all areas of your life. This Is How We Rise will show you how to unleash it.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In her insightful, empathetic debut, Chan, the founder of a media company and former president of an event-planning firm, seeks to empower other businesswomen with a road map to lifting up not just oneself but also others. After explaining her vision of a "new breed of leaders" suited to a gender-equal society, Chan ably takes readers through her 13 foundational pillars of personal leadership-purpose, vision, faith, resilience, energy, productivity, humility, gratitude, grace, community, self-love, courage, and mindfulness-then marries them together in a series of memorization-worthy mantras ("How humble I am determines how teachable I am"; "Vulnerability is the greatest act of courage") on how to stop seeing difficulties as adversaries and view them as opportunities for growth. At the conclusion of most chapters, Chan gives the reader thoughtful yet pragmatic homework. She wraps up the book with step-by-step guidelines to creating a personal action plan. Her openhearted tone throughout conveys the sense of someone so secure in her own skin that she doesn't feel the need to tear others down. Her lessons will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned. (Oct.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
