The Power Code: More Joy. Less Ego. Maximum Impact for Women (and Everyone) by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman.
Join us as we dive into The Power Code: More Joy. Less Ego. Maximum Impact for Women (and Everyone) by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman,
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on The Power Code, a compelling book that challenges traditional views of power and invites us to rethink what influence, leadership, and success can look like. Authors Katty Kay and Claire Shipman explore how women (and everyone) can claim power in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and effective.
Together, we’ll explore how power can be a force for connection and change, rather than control. Expect conversation, practical insights, and a chance to reflect on your own relationship with leadership and influence—whether at work, in your community, or in your personal life.
Options to purchase The Power Code at Amazon or Harper Collins Publishing or Barnes and Noble.
