About This Book

Women are natural leaders—but they've been handed a rulebook written for someone else entirely.

Certified executive coach and CEO of the women's leadership firm Something Major, Randi Braun argues that the real obstacle isn't ambition—it's the outdated playbook women have been handed. Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work tackles self-doubt, perfectionism and the corrosive pull of external validation head-on, offering concrete tactics for owning your message, silencing your inner critic and leading on your own terms. Braun even names 16 phrases she forbids women to say at work.

Something Major is written for women who are ready to stop shrinking and start leading—delivered in a conversational, story-driven style that mixes practical tools with sharp insight. A Wall Street Journal bestseller, it's a fresh answer to burnout, stalled careers and the confidence gap that still holds too many women back.
