This important work from debut author Jessica Galica blends narrative, research, and pep talk to empower women to reclaim control of their career trajectories and define success on their own terms. "A must read for working women and parents, whether you need inspiration to take the leap or simply comfort to know that you are not alone" (Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space) More than three million women left the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, and even more are considering leaving or downshifting. Corporate women feel misled. Told they could "have it all, " women instead feel dissatisfied and exasperated. They have not lost ambition or dreams for their career, but they are reckoning with their corporate reality: environments that are designed for men, the burden of caretaking labor at home, and bias in hiring and promotions. These factors leave many women stuck-feeling unfulfilled but fearful about making a leap to reinvent their careers. If this describes you, then Leap will give you the guidance and confidence you need to pivot toward fulfillment and authenticity. Intrigued by other women who have made gratifying career shifts, career strategist Jessica Galica embarked on a series of interviews and discovered that her story-building a career by doing everything "right" but waking up lost-is not unique. Leap encourages women at a similar crossroads to let go of stale and rigid narratives around work and instead focus on purpose. Drawing from the stories of courageous women who took the leap and Galica's own career journey, Leap examines:The feelings that lead women to yearn for something different in their career The strategies that help women to embrace new possibilities and pivots The fulfillment that comes from making the leap
