About this listen

Read by the author.

You can't make the world fair, but you can take back your power.

As a woman in Silicon Valley who worked her way to the top of the corporate ladder—she's a former VP at Facebook and the current president and CEO of Ancestry—Deborah Liu knows firsthand the challenges and obstacles in the workplace that keep the deck stacked against women in the workplace . . . and the ways to overcome them.

For every woman who grew up competing on the uneven playing field, who is told she is too aggressive, assertive, dramatic, or emotional, this book is the battle cry you need to learn to thrive within the system that exists today, even if it's not the one we wish it were.

Take Back Your Power presents both hard data and Liu's personal experiences from twenty years as a woman leader in the male-dominated tech industry to help you:

  • Find your voice, learn how to ask, and achieve what you want in a system that isn't fair and wasn't created for you
  • Debunk the negative connotations of "power" and harness it for your own success
  • Discover how to be heard, seen, and taken more seriously at work by getting out of your own way
  • Overcome the lie that success is only achieved alone by finding the four types of allies you need to reach your goals
  • Become a great leader without losing yourself in the process

You have the power to change the future of work for yourself—and for women everywhere.

An accompanying diagram is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Speak Up ~ Culture Change is Overdue

Leaders at all levels should read/listen to Take Back Your Power. This is for men and women who seek growth within thier circles, within organizations and touches the unspoken dynamics of gender integration across professions, industies to include the 'swim lanes' within our homes. Collaboration, inclusiveness and routine goal assessment is vital in all circles of one's life because they are all connected. We all matter, speak up.

Very impactful book

As a fellow introverted Product leader whose voice is often overlooked and power often diminished, this book really resonated with me and gave me hope, motivation and clear steps I can take to make a difference in the trajectory of my life. Thank you, Deb Liu, for writing this book and narrating and offering it through audible.

Practical, hopeful and inspirational

Really enjoyed how Deborah started with reality, we’re not on even an playing field and it’s still valuable to share your voice. It was encouraging to have representation from an Asian American exec in tech. Thank you for being courageous and sharing your story!
