– You want to make a positive difference in the world but feel held back in some way.

– You feel done with striving to play big on the world’s terms – but you do want to play big according to what that truly means to you.

– You wish you struggled less with fear, self-doubt, worries about what others think, or tentativeness around your ideas.

– You suspect it would be a whole lot more fun to play big.

When I was at a critical career juncture, I took Tara’s online leadership course and it was transformative. After just three sessions, I had decided to quit my current job, start my own consulting practice, and follow my passion around developing leadership for large-scale social impact.

A Peek Inside Playing Big

What’s In The Book?

Introduction: My Story

How I got so passionate about brilliant women like you playing bigger. And an introduction to the kind of playing big this book is about – not “big” external markers of success, but playing big with your real dreams for your life and career.

Chapter 1: The Inner Critic

How to recognize your inner critic and practical tools you can use each day to quiet its voice.
