Not only did she dig out from debt, she paid for her children’s educations in cash, funded her retirement, and embraced a healthy and joyful lifestyle. Most of all, by reconnecting with her creativity, she reclaimed her confident, true self and discovered how to draw her ideal clients right to her.

Page Two Books, Inc. Embrace the Power of You: Owning Your Identity at
Book SynopsisEmbrace the Power of You In the competitive world of Silicon Valley, corporate lawyer Tricia Montalvo Timm knew that talent and drive weren't enough to succeed. She had to belong. Timm took a cue from her days as a child actor, when she had to change her name to get auditions. As an adult, she downplayed her Latino heritage and her life as a mother to fit in. And it worked: at the height of her success, she sold software company Looker to Google for $2.6 billion. But when a LinkedIn post about her roots went viral, she knew she couldn't continue to hide. As a high-powered Latina lawyer, she had a responsibility to be visible so she could be the role model she never saw coming up the ranks. She realized that belonging begins with self-acceptance. If you've ever hidden your real self to belong, Embrace the Power of You will resonate. Timm's journey toward self-acceptance provides a wealth of insight into the reasons why people feel alienated and invisible in the workplace. Timm knows firsthand the fear and shame that comes from hiding your identity, and shows how to overcome those feelings one small step at a time. By offering practical tips and strategies based on research and personal experience, Timm proves an expert guide for those who want to bring their authentic selves to work and don't know where to begin. If you're seeking a way to embrace your identity at work or need management strategies to aid those who want to do so, this book will set you on the path to success. A singular book from one of the only Latinas to have attained the triple achievements of reaching the C-Suite, joining the boardroom and cracking the venture capital ceiling, Embrace the Power of You is a warm and courageous guide to finding success through choosing your authentic self.

Page Two Books, Inc. The Mirrored Door: Break Through the Hidden
Book SynopsisAt some point in their careers, many women encounter the mirrored door—the place where, when presented with opportunities, we reflect inward and hesitate, deem we’re not ready or worthy enough to move forward whether that is to raise our hands or go for the next role. But there is a way to break through, and to overcome the gendered expectations that girls and women internalize over our lifetimes that create a hidden barrier that keeps us from reaching our full potential. Drawing on research, stories from her own career, and those of her students and the mid-late career women she has coached, Professor Ellen Taaffe explains why the five perils of success—being prepared to perfection, eager to please, trying to fit the mold, pushing too hard, and patiently performing and expecting rewards to follow—get us to a certain level, and then may prevent our taking the next step in our careers as expectations rise. She offers a new, empowering framework for navigating the challenges of the workplace with more awareness and expertise. With a firm grounding in research, Taaffe teaches us about the realities of the workplace, how it influences perceptions of women, and what we can do to overcome the distorted self-reflections that ultimately hold us back. A former Fortune 50 senior executive turned board director and professor, Taaffe is on a mission for women to have more seats and voices at the table of workplace decisions. In The Mirrored Door, she guides us to assess ourselves and our situations realistically so that we can take charge of our career success and take the lead in our lives.Trade Review"This incisive, inviting guidebook surveys the challenges high-achieving women face in the workplace and shares fresh advice for navigating obstacles both inner and outer... With welcome nuance about the complexities and varieties of workplace experiences, Taaffe lays out techniques for women to knock at [the mirrored] door rather than wait to be invited in... Throughout, Taaffe blends striking insights... with inspiration, practical takeaways, and engaging storytelling." Publishers Weekly "The Mirrored Door is an insightful self-help book that exposes, and enables pushing past, the particular barriers that women in business face." Foreword "Taaffe blends research, professional expertise, and personal experience in a concise examination of women's self-doubt in the workplace." Kirkus Reviews "Ellen Connelly Taaffe's image of the 'mirrored door' brilliantly and accurately describes women's tendency to second-guess themselves when they bump up against barriers at work. Gazing into that mirror and asking, 'Is it me?' can paralyze us and make it difficult to take action. Ellen's work is a powerful corrective to the endless focus on 'imposter syndrome, ' which pathologizes self-doubt rather than offering a path forward. In this wise and humane book, she shows how women can address the internal barriers most likely to hold them back. Highly recommended!" Sally Helgesen, bestselling author of How Women Rise, Rising Together, and The Female Advantage "The Mirrored Door is an inspiring guide for women looking to advance in their careers. Ellen Connelly Taaffe outlines the external and internal biases that lead to women getting stuck in their jobs. Through engaging stories, she offers frameworks and advice on how to move past these obstacles and create the future we all want." Deepa Purushothaman, author of The First, the Few, the Only "The Mirrored Door is a must-read for career-minded women who aspire to more. Ellen Connelly Taaffe connects insightful research, shares engaging stories, and thoughtfully reveals what might have once worked but could now be in the way. This book informs and inspires women to take charge of their careers." Dorie Clark, Wall Street Journal-bestselling author of The Long Game "The Mirrored Door is the book that every female leader--of all ages and stages--needs to read. If you have ever struggled in your career, this book will provide you with valuable insights to identify and overcome the challenges that are preventing you from achieving the success that you want. Ellen Connelly Taaffe is a kind, wise mentor who provides you with the road map you need to create the future you want. I wish I had this book when I started my career." Tricia Montalvo Timm, board director, former general counsel at Looker, and author of Embrace the Power of You "The Mirrored Door is a terrific primer for career-oriented women to create their own successful path, navigating through the systemic biases that women face in today's workplace. It's a compelling blueprint by former business executive and current professor, Ellen Connelly Taaffe." Carter Cast, clinical professor of entrepreneurship at the Kellogg School of Management and author of The Right--and Wrong--Stuff "Be the protagonista! That's what practitioner-turned-professor Ellen Connelly Taaffe teaches women (and any leader who wants to sponsor women) how to do with her splendid storytelling and actionable advice. Ellen describes herself as the 'professor full of doubt, ' but there's no doubt about this book: if you want to shatter the glass ceiling, you'll open The Mirrored Door. This book belongs alongside Sally Helgesen's How Women Rise--welcome to the canon of literature sure to inspire the next generation of women leaders." Whitney Johnson, CEO of Disruption Advisors and Wall Street Journal--bestselling author of Smart Growth "Ellen Connelly Taaffe cleverly focuses on the one thing any woman can do to power her career: burst through the self-created 'mirrored door' that often holds us back. This book is a compelling manual for banishing self-doubt and grabbing your desired and deserved future!" Gena Cox, PhD, executive coach, speaker, and author of Leading Inclusion "Ellen Connelly Taaffe brings a depth of knowledge and breadth of personal experience to every page. All women, regardless of career stage, will see themselves more clearly and be better equipped to step through the 'mirrored door' after reading this book." Laurie Weingart, coauthor of The No Club "While women often say they experience self-doubt and imposter syndrome, Ellen Connelly Taaffe's excellent book points out that the system--through ingrained biases and outdated work practices--is designed to make us feel that way. She offers ways that each of us can pivot our thinking away from self-blame, and, through a series of journal prompts, gives readers a chance to reflect on how they can have a healthier relationship to work and achievement." Sarah Kaplan, director of the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE) at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management "The Mirrored Door opens up the conversation for all women who are seeking to grow professionally and personally, no matter their stage in life. Ellen Connelly Taaffe generously shares her life and professional experiences while weaving in research-based evidence and the stories of women who navigated male-dominated corporate cultures while discovering their own gender biases that are so deeply ingrained in each of us. This book is an enlightening and practical guide for all women who seek to leverage their talents and power--and make a difference wherever they land." Tammy Gooler Loeb, award-winning author of Work from the Inside Out "The Mirrored Door is like having a caring, wise mentor show you the ropes of how to navigate the workplace and take charge of your own career and life. I wish it had been around for me to read at several different points in my career." Anne Lester, former managing director of JPMorgan Asset Management, board director, speaker, and author of Your Best Financial Life "If you lead women or are a woman, you must read The Mirrored Door. Ellen Connelly Taaffe has brilliantly written an inspiring, yet practical leadership book that is sure to become a go-to guide for aspiring and experienced career women and their allies. Through storytelling, research, and personal experience, she reveals what holds women back and what we can do about it. I wish I had it earlier in my career. Highly recommend!" Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, vice chair of external affairs at Royal Caribbean Group, former CEO of Celebrity Cruises, board director, and author of Making Waves

Vintage Publishing Beyond the Corporation: Humanity Working
Book Synopsis* Beyond the Corporation is a book for our times. Offering inspiration and vision in the wake of financial Armageddon, it is the story of ordinary people who share the ownership of the businesses where they work.* The enterprises come in all sizes: from companies employing just a few dozen people, to large corporations: John Lewis in the UK, employing 70,000 'partners'; Mondragon, a highly entrepreneurial group of over 100 businesses in Spain, employing more than 100,000; and many examples in the US, some employing tens of thousands. It would be hard to imagine a better informed, more involved or more enthusiastic set of employees - sharing the efforts of making their companies successful, and sharing all of the rewards. Unusually in the corporate world, they control their own destinies - a situation beyond the dreams of most working people.* Erdal takes a hard look at those who insist, in the teeth of the evidence, that shared ownership will never work - a sorry tale, he argues, of prejudice masquerading as economic thinking. The book contains detailed case studies as well as interviews with a range of people, whose inspiring stories of success fly in the face of received wisdom. These successes include: high levels of productivity; sustained rapid growth; fast-moving, innovative responses to changing worlds; high levels of investment aimed at long-term prosperity; and, above all, the sheer happiness employees experience in working together in businesses that they own together, sharing the wealth that they create. * At a time when the 'orthodox' corporate economy has been badly shaken, Beyond the Corporation makes essential reading.Trade ReviewThis is by far the best book to explain democratic employee ownership to business people and to the owners of family firms who might be considering a sale to the employees. David Erdal has "walked the walk" by arranging for the successful sale of his large family business to the employees so he speaks with a convincing authority on the matter. He masterfully spells out the arguments on economic, managerial, political, and social psychological grounds for democratic worker ownership. This combination of real world experience and interdisciplinary understanding of the issues makes this the book on democratic employee ownership. -- David EllermanThis is a significant piece of work and I expect it to play an important part in creating a different ownership landscape in the years to come. -- Jim Mather, Minister for Enterprise, Energy & Tourism: The Scottish ParliamentAlready looks like being one of the most influential business books of the year * Scotsman *BEYOND THE CORPORATION gives a breathtaking overview of employee ownership over the years and across the continents and provides a passionate argument of the case for employee ownership. It should be compulsory reading, not just for those of us on the inside, but for any student of economics, sociology, business or politics. -- Carole Leslie, Policy Director, Employee Ownership AssociationErdal convincingly exposes the gross errors in the conventional models economists use to describe people and businesses (which he labels 'just-so stories'), and describes how and why employee-owned businesses are superior to publicly listed companies in every way. The book is an easy read, jam-packed with quotable passages. -- R. Eric Swanepoel * Bella Caledonia Blog *
