Book SynopsisTrade Review"When you read or hear a story of triumph over adversity that inspires, it can transform your mood, shift your mindset, and empower you to achieve. Reading My Leading While Female Journey
will inspire, transform, shift, and empower you with the courage and strength of amazing women. It will provoke you to own your story." -- Julie A. Vitale
"The three authors, Arriaga, Stanley, & Lindsey, have assembled the perfect complementary journal to their book Leading While Female
. Readers are treated to excerpts, quotes by women, authentic and meaningful stories, and thought-provoking questions. A leader learns through constant reflection on the question ′How would I handle this type of situation?′ Reflection at this deep level builds strength and character. This interactive experience provides a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow as a female leader. It is a personal journey meant to be undertaken, one supported by both the book and this exceptional journal." -- Dr. Carmella S. Franco
"My Leading While Female Journey: A Guided Reflective Journal
is the perfect companion to the book Leading While Female.
The journal demonstrates the power of reflection and is ideal for individual rumination or group discussions. The stories reflect the experiences of many female educational leaders and offers robust opportunities for women to connect across differences, harness our bold leadership in community, interrupt inequities in our systems, and propel emerging female leaders into formal positions of leadership. Bravo to Leading While Female!" -- Dr. Jaguanana Lathan
"
Stacie Stanley, Trudy Arriaga, and Delores Lindsey have expertly crafted a reflective journal to accompany their book, Leading While Female.
They have helped to guide us so that through our own stories and the stories of others, we can write new stories; stories of strength and effective leadership.
The thoughtful questions throughout the journal will help each of us as we create the next chapter in our own leadership story and help each of us to consider not only what will ensure that we thrive but also how we can lift others and help them to thrive.
This book is not only a reflective journal, but it is also an instructive tool and a valuable resource. A heartfelt thank you to the Leading While Female
authors and other women highlighted in this journal who were willing to share their stories to help all of us." -- Brenda Hall
