BE A WOMAN WARRIOR: 12 TIPS AND SIPS
TO UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN YOU

     

BY LYNN ANDERSON

 TTN-ATLANTA  

 

This month we have a fun pick in Be a Woman Warrior: 12 Tips & Sips to Unleash the Power Within You, by Lynn Anderson of TTN's Atlanta Chapter.
 
Women know how to lead and succeed in the business world, but as the number of women in the workforce has risen, the anxieties, stress, and feelings of being overwhelmed and overworked have gone up as well. How can more women succeed rather than succumb to the challenges of balancing their personal and professional lives? This book provides a path forward, a way for women to unleash the Woman Warrior within them - the strong, heartfelt force that will sustain and inspire them in all they do at work and at home - creating a new paradigm for business in America today.
 
The book includes:
 
- Twelve tips to bring out the Woman Warrior within so women can better face all aspects of their lives.
- Practical exercises to help women take action and start living their lives to the fullest.
- Words of wisdom from successful Woman Warriors who know what it takes to be the best.
- Recipes for 12 drinks and 12 appetizers that are not only delicious but are packed with healthful ingredients.
- The story of Abundance, a typical busy woman - watch as she goes from overwhelmed to empowered!
 
The book also coordinates with a downloadable workbook where readers can reflect on where they want to go and plot a course to get there.

Lynn Anderson.
