This book is a must-read for any woman who wants to make a bigger impact in the world. - John Gerzema, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Athena Doctrine I think working women in all stages of their career from entry level to senior executives could benefit from reading this book. Patti Solaski, Global Diversity & Inclusion Manager, Microsoft The practical exercises present throughout the book are an added plus. I highly recommend it. - Merrin P, Amazon Review In 2016, women still hold a shockingly low 14% of top executive positions in the Fortune 500. Trying to get ahead while operating in a man's world, women continue to face immense challenges, constantly being told how to navigate these treacherous waters in a myriad of ways. Yet the gender gap persists. While working for a tech giant in Silicon Valley, the author was faced with a tough decision--should she lead like her male counterparts or try a different approach? This choice gained her unique insights into how women can break through gender bias and become far more effective as leaders, while helping close the gender gap. In Leading Gracefully, Feminine Leadership expert and executive coach, Monique Tallon, presents neuroscience research that tells us that women's brains are wired for empathy, intuition and collaboration, the same qualities people are looking for in their leaders today. Through her extensive research, she has developed a visionary roadmap for women-The Feminine Leadership Model--that plays squarely to women's strengths. Whether you are a senior level executive, a mid-career manager or just starting out, Leading Gracefully is a must-read for women who want to get to the next level in their career and life. Through personal stories and those of female executives and entrepreneurs from the world of technology, science, retail and non-profits, you will learn how to successfully use 'feminine' strengths combined with traditional traits to breakthrough gender bias. Use it as self-coaching 'how-to' guide, with 15 powerful exercises, tips and resources you can apply right away to gain more confidence, authenticity and effectiveness. Are you ready to to be an inclusive leader, fostering innovation and collaboration on the teams and businesses you manage? Are you ready to be a game changer.…

Leading Gracefully by Monique Tallon offers a new roadmap for women who want to lead differently from the status-quo.
Since women entered the workplace, they have made the incorrect assumption that in order to get ahead, they must behave like men to be taken seriously, to get ahead, and to lead. While trying to get into the boy’s club, women have subsequently forgotten how to bring their unique strengths to the table – qualities like vulnerability, humility, collaboration and compassion which are essential to leading in today’s highly complex and volatile world.
Leading Gracefully is a self-coaching guide that is designed to help you rediscover your strengths, identifies the gaps in your leadership style, and introduces the Feminine Leadership Model to help you develop the skill set necessary to thrive in the modern workplace. An insightful and step-by-step guide to helping you step into your leadership more fully and to discover what authentic and effective leadership can really look like.
In this book you will learn how to:
-Identify your current leadership style and understand the impact you have on others
-Navigate the confusing messages on how to show up in a leadership capacity
-Be assertive without being aggressive
-Deal with the “Imposter Syndrome” and build more self-confidence
-Tap into your vulnerability and use it as a strength in a leadership context
-Tap into your intuition and make decisions more easily
-Communicate your feelings and give feedback without conflict
-Claim your authenticity and bring your full self to work
-Let go of perfection and claim your value and worth
-Promote yourself without bragging or seeming “arrogant”
-So much more!
Whether you are a senior level executive, a mid‐career manager or just starting out, Leading Gracefully is a must‐read for women who want to get to the next level in their career and life. Through personal stories and those of female executives and entrepreneurs from the world of technology, science, retail and non‐profits, you will learn how to successfully use ‘feminine’ strengths combined with traditional traits to breakthrough gender bias. Use it as self‐coaching ‘how‐to’ guide, with 15 powerful exercises, tips and resources you can apply right away to gain more confidence, authenticity and effectiveness.
