PLAYING BIG Find Your Voice, Your Mission, Your Message

The understated energy in Tara Mohr's relaxed performance is an appealing counterpoint to the power of her message: With the tools provided in this important book, women can overcome their tendency to undervalue their strengths, weaken their communication, and avoid expressing their best abilities in their work. Mohr's relaxed confidence in presenting these accessible ideas helps listeners hear the essence of her message and stay tuned-in when she supports her advice with sophisticated rationales. Without sounding wonky or overly psychological, she asks listeners to stand back from habits such as self-deprecation, small thinking, and self-limiting dependence on the praise or criticism of others. This is a robust and practical addition to the women's empowerment writing of Sheryl Sandberg, Gloria Steinem, and others. T.W. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2015]
