I am excited to bring to your attention an inspirational new book about women leaders, the proceeds of which will support several women's organizations globally. The book, Goddess Shift: Women Leading for a Change, is an anthology of personal stories written by 43 women in leadership positions about how they have empowered themselves to create change in all walks of life.
I am honored to be one of the contributors to the book. Other contributors include women leaders in many fields, including entertainment (Oprah Winfrey), finance (Suze Orman), government (Sonia Gandhi), sports (Venus & Serena Williams), social change and philanthropy (Angelina Jolie), journalism (Barbara Walters), and literature (Sue Monk Kidd). In my chapter, I discuss the driving forces that have shaped my professional journey from corporate executive to the convent of the Maryknoll Sisters to living and working in Japan to law school and, finally, to a career as a trial lawyer and co-founder of a women’s initiative.
I felt compelled to contribute my personal story because allroyalties from this book will be used to support three, exceptional non-profit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of girls and women: Capacitar, the Global Fund for Women and Tostan.
Last week, the Fox News TV show “FOX & Friends” asked Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis (another Goddess Shift contributor) and me to discuss, among other things, what the book's title means. I told the interviewers that the word "Goddess" in the title refers to all women and that, to me, the phrase "Goddess Shift" means that women have moved from "setting the table" to "negotiating at the table." However, women still need to make the existential leap from participating in the corporate world as leaders to running our country. (Our FOX & Friends interviews (both the on-air and after-the-show interviews) are posted below.)
You can find more information about Goddess Shift, including sample chapters, here. I hope the book inspires more women to become leaders!
