Struggling to communicate with confidence at work—without feeling like you have to change who you are? You’re not alone.
From overthinking meetings to second-guessing how we come across, many women feel stuck between being authoritative and being liked. In Powerfully Likeable, executive coach and world-class debater Kate Mason challenges the idea that you have to choose between the two.
Instead of copying traditional (often male-dominated) styles, she shows how to communicate with impact by leaning into what makes you uniquely you—whether that’s warmth, humor, logic, or data.
Packed with practical tools, from owning your accomplishments and speaking up confidently to navigating tough conversations, this book helps you show up with both authenticity and influence.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink, soften, or second-guess yourself to succeed, this book offers a better way.
We plan to spend 12 weeks diving into this book together. This will be the first of three one-hour virtual gatherings.
