5 out of 5 stars
Truly a book for our times, Stepping into your Power provides inspiration and guidance in abundance for women leaders across all realms to embody the leadership we want to see in the world. Through courageous true stories and powerful practices to try for yourself, Eunice and co-authors weave a story of women finding their purpose, dignity and voice.
The common thread is women’s unconscious bias to step back, stay small and stay silent in the face of systems of ‘default male’ power and conflict, and how they have all learned to alter their psychobiology to be able to step up, be true to their purpose and humanity and speak truth to power.
The narrative of the transforming power of somatic work is supported by the themes from Eunice’s action research with more than 100 senior women leaders. She shares her learning with typical generosity of practice and spirit, so that we can ‘try on’ her suggested practices and be stimulated by her questions towards our own power. These authors model for us what centred female leadership can bring and how the world needs more of it now.
