Driven by Intention: Own Your Purpose, Gain Power, and Pursue Your Passion as a Woman at Work

A game-changing guide for women who want to transform the way they work  and create their own success—from an award-winning global diversity  expert.

Ambition alone will only take you but so far. Without a  plan, however, you're left with blind ambition and that won't  necessarily take you where you want to go.

In this  groundbreaking book by diversity, workplace culture, and career building  expert Michelle Gadsden-Williams, you'll discover how much more  useful—and rewarding—it is to cultivate an intentional mindset.

Deeply  inspiring and eminently practical, Driven by Intention shows how  intention is about so much more than simply setting goals: it's figuring  out why we choose what we want to do and how we get this done in order  to seamlessly execute and achieve our passions. Simply put, intention is  the "secret sauce" of realizing your vision—at home, at work, or  wherever you have passions worth pursuing.

Gadsden-Williams  combines years of professional experience with research-based insights,  proven strategies, and effective exercises to provide the tools you need  to get started, in chapters that include:
Setting Intentions vs  Setting Goals Strengthening Your Squad Defining Your Meaning by Impact  Transforming Company Culture Leveraging Your Prized Assets Managing Your  Financial Life Men as Allies for Female Leaders Filled with practical  steps to take now and how to reimagine what comes next, Driven by  Intention is an effective blueprint for success and the profiles of  twelve highly accomplished women (and one executive chairman who is a  male ally) that drive the lessons home. You'll find relatable strategies  and tactics embedded in their stories—from women who had to forge their  own paths, faced uncertainty or incredible odds and still managed to  rise above it all, and establish uber successful careers for themselves.  Women such as Mellody Hobson, president and co-CEO of the largest  black-owned asset management firm, Ariel Investments; Fairygodboss  co-founders Georgene Huang and Romy Newman; Sheri Salata, who had  extraordinary success over more than 20 years as executive producer of  The Oprah Winfrey Show and president of Harpo Studios; and more share  how they rose to the top because they were driven by their intentions.
Driven  by Intention is a book for impact seekers who want to make a material  difference at work, in the world, and in their own lives—on their own  terms.
