BOLD: How Women Play BIG by Leading Instead of Pleasing

"Reading this book is like talking to the best coach and therapist ever." Tara Jenkins, Founder and CEO, Conscious Revolution

Barrie Zucal wasn't always bold. Like most women worldwide, she was raised to be good, to contort herself to meet societal expectations, and to never offend. As a young teacher, she had become cute, likable, overextended, bored, and anxious. A traffic accident while she was driving drunk put her on the path to self-discovery, empathy, and adventure.

Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, building a business, or reinventing your life, BOLD will inspire you to stop being "too good for your own good" and to live the life that is uniquely yours. Barrie encourages women to trust their inner wisdom, set boundaries, take meaningful risks, honor their ambitions, and lead with enthusiasm and courage rather than seek approval.

Part memoir, part manifesto, and part practical guide, BOLD helps women worldwide answer three life-changing questions:

• For whom do I exist?
• Why do I exist?
• How will I exist?

Drawing on her extraordinary life journey-which includes fleeing civil war in Beirut, serving as a nanny for the Jordanian Royal Family, becoming a marriage and family therapist, founding and selling a global executive coaching company operating in seventy-five countries, and winning powerlifting competitions at seventy-Barrie reveals how women can build strength by leading themselves rather than by pleasing others.

Barrie has been married to the same man for fifty years, and together they raised a marvelous daughter.
