Can you EVEN IMAGINE if more men (or *any* of them) did this??! The world would be such a different place.

As an aside, could your links for pre-ordering your book direct us to Bookstore.org or similar instead of Amazon please and thank you?

We actually direct you to the Fired Up book website through our links: firedupbook.com. That way you can choose which place is best for you.

"Sharing my power became a virtuous circle; the more power I gave away to others, the more powerful I felt in my own life." This is exactly what I try to instill in other women I coach who are encouraged to only compete in order to get ahead instead of seeing that women sharing power is what helps all women rise up! Another beautiful post, Shannon! Thank you!

Can't wait for the new book to come out. I was able to take advantage of the two-fer and am excited to share with a friend. Thanks for always inspiring me to be a better version of myself.

Biden suffered from Founders Syndrome. Decades of leadership and a final choice that harmed Democrats.

Has a male leader in the corporate or political arena ever followed a path similar to you? I can't think of one.

Finding that middle road. We the continuity at same time we need new energy.

Watched some old engineers on the railroad that thought the railroad wouldn’t run without them. When the time came I knew to get the hell out.

If only Joe Biden had heeded this advice and served as the one term president he said he would be when he took office, maybe we would not be in this mess.
