Own Your Authority: Follow Your Instincts, Radiate Confidence, and Communicate as a Leader People Trust

Former Wall Street executive Marisa Santoro spent years navigating trading floors in an abrasive male-dominated industry and field, where she learned from experience that the key to leadership success is self-trust. Now, in Own Your Authority, she shares her hard-won secrets to being a resilient leader. Santoro lays out a step-by-step blueprint for building the confidence you need at any stage of your career, whether you are an executive, a mid-career senior professional, an emerging leader, or consultant. You will learn how to: be clear on how you're perceived and how you relate with others; be willing to act on instinct in the face of fear; be aware of the instinctive yellow alerts flagging your indecision—they are there for a reason and will help you make the best decision; trust your "intuitive gut gene," an instinct that helps you make gutsy moves; and speak out and openly express yourself without apology, restriction, or worry about the opinions of others.

Self-confidence is a universal prerequisite for being an effective leader. The good news is you're not born with it—you develop it. With Own Your Authority, you'll learn to master your mindset, give yourself permission to break through the walls that have held you back, and deliver positive impact to yourself, your team, and your business.
