This Is How We Rise

Women remain the disadvantaged sex throughout the world, despite centuries of progress toward equality. We are so close to a tipping point, as women have never held more power: women control social media, influence their families' buying and consuming habits, and are a powerful force in elections. But many times, individuals may see or experience a women's issue at work or in the world at large and feel they can't do anything about it. So how do we harness women's personal and collective power to bring about change and finally achieve gender equality?

To business leader Claudia Chan, the key lies in empowering women to achieve their own personal potential while reigniting engagement in the feminist movement. It's not just about you--stepping up in your own life lets you lift other women up with you and paves the way for others to follow. In THIS IS HOW WE RISE, Chan shares how to get beyond the limiting beliefs that hold you back, transform feminine traits once thought of as weakness into assets, and cultivate the internal habits to succeed and lead. Then, she shows how to put that personal power to work at a wider level by identifying the issues that really matter to you, raising awareness, and getting authentically involved.

"This Is How We Rise tells women how they can harness their femaleness for success."
--New York Times
"This Is How We Rise challenges the core of the 'me' mentality and proposes a 'we' movement. In football, we say football, family, and faith to promote success by playing for something bigger than the individual. Claudia masterfully crafts this philosophy into a strategy for empowering women and kickstarting movements. Together, we can all rise. For the love of progress, read this book today."

--- Dr. Jen Welter, first female coach in the NFL

"Along with Sheryl Sandberg and Sallie Krawcheck, Claudia Chan has been one of the instrumental leaders fueling the popularity of feminism we are seeing today.

And she is extremely thoughtful about educating women to recruit men in her work."

--- John Gerzema, New York Times best-selling author of The Athena Doctrine and CEO of The Harris Poll

"As women move into the leadership realm in every aspect of life and work, it becomes more and more critical that we ask ourselves questions like: Power for what purpose? Leadership for what kind of future? These are the questions that Claudia Chan asks--and answers--in her important book, This Is How We Rise. Her ideas and tools about moving from a 'me over we' mindset to a 'me for we' way of living and leading are critical for our times."

"Claudia Chan is a revolutionary who understands how important women's release from diminishing social expectations are to everyone's prosperity.

She's an instigator to many women stepping up into previously unimaginable roles of power and influence. This book will do the same for you."
