Publisher's summary
The 21 coauthors of this audiobook, a diverse group of women, decided they would use the start of the new decade to reflect on their lives and careers:
- How do we navigate uncertainties and disruptions?
- How do we bounce back from broken dreams or broken marriages?
- How do we juggle motherhood, career, and a passion for community?
- How do you move forward with a career after being paralyzed in a car accident?
- How do we cope in the workplace when hopes are dashed and career ambitions are limited?
As you listen on, you will come across struggle, survival, disappointment, and hope. You will laugh, and you will cry; you will reflect, and you will remember, but most importantly, you will learn, grow, and be transformed by the stories of these resilient women.
When a small group of career women met at a Let’s Grow Sip & Paint event in January 2020, they joked that 2020 was the only time they were all going to have 20/20 vision, and they should embrace it and create a legacy for the new decade. This legacy was to write an anthology that would include stories of courage, growth, and transformation. Little did they know that a pandemic of epic proportion, COVID-19, was about to turn the world upside down.
Despite this, they came together virtually to create this audiobook to give others hope and inspiration.
Coauthors: Evelyn Askelrod, Leslie Burns, Shirley Chisholm, Jenet Dhutti-Bhopal, Amanda-Gay Edwards, Cassandra Edwards, Melissa Enmore, Shaunna-Marie Kerr, Taranum Khan, Maheeza Mohamed, Angella Nunes, Jenny Okonkwo, Sweta Regmi, S.

Story
While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

"I was in 'the void,'" she writes, "a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe." Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build.

But his wife of more than 40 years knows him as so much more: A loving husband, a devoted father, a devout Christian, a committed philanthropist, and a fierce patriot. Now Candy Carson introduces us to the private side of a very public figure as she shares the inspiring story of their marriage and their family.

When we’re moving at 115 MPH, we rarely see the wall coming. But it comes for all of us and when it does, we grasp for lessons, for meaning, for purpose. Each moment (good or bad) and each win or loss, provides us an opportunity to learn, and if we choose to take it, that opportunity can change our lives - and the world - for the better. The human spirit craves connection. Authenticity. Belonging. Touch. Gratitude. Purpose. We need to make our interactions count.

Once the poster girl for doing it all, after she had her first child, Tiffany Dufu struggled to accomplish everything she thought she needed to in order to succeed. Like so many driven and talented women who have been brought up to believe that to have it all, they must do it all, Dufu began to feel that achieving her career and personal goals was an impossibility. Eventually, she discovered the solution: letting go. In Drop the Ball, Dufu recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others.

We live in an era of low expectations. In fact, we tend to celebrate low expectations. The way in which we choose to live and work today is a far cry from the purposeful living of our parents. Have we reached the point in our society where it is more important to look good rather than be good? This book reacquaints listeners with the wisdom - the common sense that was practiced simply and unwittingly by those who represent a generation gone by: a generation that worked hard without complaining; a generation that did whatever was necessary to support their families....

Researchers estimate that the average person will influence up to eighty thousand people over the course of their lifetime—or 2.8 people daily. That’s a stadium full of people whom each of us affects in ways positive or negative, sometimes without us realizing. What if we paid attention to this fact? Would we live differently? Would we lead differently? Would we put down our phones and be more present with the people in front of us?

But as negotiations and leadership expert Erica Ariel Fox reveals, the most important negotiations - the ones that determine the impact of our actions and the quality of our lives - are those we have with ourselves.

It is not native intelligence or natural talent that makes people excel, say Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval - it's old-fashioned sweat equity and hard work. And that claim is backed up by new research from MacArthur Fellowship Award winner and University of Pennsylvania psychologist Angela Duckworth, among others. Not everyone is blessed with exceptional intelligence, or wins the gene lottery. But the good news is that you can excel beyond your wildest dreams in your career and your personal life - success is within your grasp - through the right attitude and determination.
