The Glass Ledge
批評家のレビュー
“The Glass Ledge provides a simple yet balanced perspective that will help women rewrite their inner dialogue, reject who they have been told to be, and become who they are meant to be.” —Gretchen Carlson, acclaimed journalist, cofounder of Lift Our Voices, bestselling author, empowerment advocate
“Self-sabotage is a slippery slope, and what’s the best way to catch your footing? Iman Oubou’s brilliant new book, The Glass Ledge. If you’re a woman and feel that you’re getting in your own way, this book can catch you before you fall out of balance.” —Fran Hauser, former president of Time Inc. Digital, startup investor, author of The Myth of the Nice Girl
“Having questioned myself more than anyone else would ever question me, I know firsthand the negative impact that self-doubt and impostor syndrome can have on your career. Even after making it to the C-suite, these challenges remained a part of my everyday life. For many of us, this is a lifelong struggle, and the struggle is very real. The Glass Ledge lays out the ten ways women derail themselves and how they can leverage these holdbacks to propel themselves forward to success. This disruptive guide is a must-buy for every woman looking to reach her potential.” —Heather Monahan, bestselling author of Overcome Your Villains
あらすじ・解説
An Empowering Guide for Curing Self-Sabotage and Finding Success by Showing Up as Your Authentic, Vulnerable, and Powerful Self
We’ve all heard of the “glass ceiling”—referencing the external oppression women still experience in the workplace. Yet even for those of us who break through the societal barriers to success, there’s another, bigger danger: internalized oppression or, metaphorically speaking, the glass ledge. “When the very qualities that help us achieve greatness turn into self-defeating behaviors, that’s when we trip over the glass ledge,” teaches Iman Oubou. “Yet we don’t need to lose ourselves to become an ideal image of a hardworking, camera-ready woman who’s got it all. There is a better way to fulfill our dreams—one that allows us to be ourselves, on our own terms.”
With The Glass Ledge, Oubou offers a disruptive guide that explores the 10 most common themes around which women tend to derail themselves, including issues around power, likability, authenticity, conflict, and more. They are organized according to when we are most likely to face them head-on, as some issues present earlier in our careers while others tend to appear later. Each chapter focuses on one of these nuanced themes, incorporating counterintuitive and eye-opening information, including:
• Anecdotes from Oubou’s personal journey from beauty pageant queen to medical missionary and scientist to entrepreneur
• Stories from other high-profile successful women in a variety of industries
• Academic and scientific research
• Lessons and tips to overcome negative self-perception and avoid slipping off the ledge while working our way toward our own definition of success
• Exercises that will help us turn the teachings into self-reflections and ultimately actionable next steps
While societal norms around gender dynamics have shifted, there’s still a long way to go. “Each of us has the power to rewrite the scripts that will determine how we think and behave—and succeed.” The Glass Ledge is a practical and inspired call for any woman who wants to rewrite the narrative of her success—and pay her efforts forward into the world.
