Why AMPLIFY by Holly Chessman is a must-read!

books· business

Disclosure: This article includes affiliate links. I received a copy of AMPLIFY! by Holly Chessman through iRead Book Tours. 

I was immediately drawn into AMPLIFY! reading Holly’s introduction and learning about her history as a woman in tech. While my background is not in technology, I can definitely relate to carving your way in a field that is male dominated. I am sure many of you can also relate to the stigma attached to the strong-willed and outspoken female in that field, as well.

“Then it hit me – I was questioning myself. Not just now, but all the time. I let my fear and doubts take over on a regular basis. I would apologize before I said anything … I would stay quiet, even if I had something say during a meeting. I made statements that sounded like questions.”

Can you relate? Throughout my years as a supervisor and a manager, this is a conversation that I had with many of my female employees. I would have loved to have a resource like AMPLIFY! to gift them along their journey.

Y’all know I love a book that keeps on giving and AMPLIFY! does just that. Holly shares her experiences, lessons learned and step-by-step action tasks for the reader to take.

The Sections and Chapter titles say it all:

Break Down Your Barriers

Face Your Fears
Stop Apologizing

Develop Your Goals
(y’all know I love this section!)

Create Goals to Support Your Goals
Do Your Research
Find a Mentor

Amplify Your Voice
Be Prepared
Take Time to Think
Hear Everyone
Be Heard
Use Social Media (YES! -my commentary not hers)
Tell a Story

That’s a step-by-step guide on truly build the kickass career you love. As someone who has grown her career both in the “real world” and as a full-time entrepreneur, I was able to gain so much insight and knowledge from reading this book. There are tasks that I have committed to doing within my professional life to give me the reset that I need in 2019 and beyond.

I highly recommend AMPLIFY and suggest you purchase your own copy because it is a resource that is meant to be highlighted, underlined and put to some great use in your personal and professional life.

Book Description:

It’s hard to fit in when you work in a mostly male world, let alone achieve your goals. Women in tech – as in many areas of business – are in the minority in every meeting. It’s difficult to find our voices in a room full of men. Even when we’re ready to share ideas, we often have to shout to be heard, trusted, and respected. It’s time for that to change.

Holly Chessman has used her marketing and business experience to navigate mostly male waters. She’s taught people how to build their reputations using online and offline tools – and now she wants you to gain that same success.

Today is the day you start making the small changes you need to grow your voice and, consequently, your career. Small steps with big impact – that’s what it’s all about. Between the tips in this book and the straightforward, step-by-step exercises in each chapter, you’ll see your life change for the better.

As you go through this book, you’ll learn about the Defining You methodology, the exclusive system for accelerating reputation and career growth. You’ll get the step-by-step guidance to reach your goals faster than ever. You’ll develop the means to realize the success you’ve always envisioned: Speak up in meetings. Get the raise you want. Find a job that satisfies you. Do what it takes to meet the goals that are right for YOU.

Take control of your career TODAY and define the “you” you want to be.

Instagram post 2189634420461683687_191381910 Can you believe it’s already December 1st? My friend @yolospinks pointed out it’s the last December 1st of this decade. The last December of the 201x’s.
🥳
So how are we going to rock out these next 31 days? Usually December is low key for me. This year I’m shifting things up a bit and stretching myself.
📝
I’m participating in a few challenges to connect with others and re-energize me. (100 Perfect People, #eyecandyholidaychallenge, my own #mdgbizboost and community challenge @brandijeter gave members of the @couragetoearn MORE community... a couple of months ago #nojudgementzone y’all!)
🥅
I’ve outlined my 2020 focus already and am prepping for my annual Planning Session in 2 weeks. My goal is to have 20 people in attendance here in Columbia and 20 registered for the virtual session.
🚶🏾‍♀️
I’ve made a commitment to walk everyday in December it’s not raining. I jump on Periscope and chat while I’m doing it for accountability sake and to make the walk go by faster. I’ve got some great motivators within my Periscope community.
.
Whew! That about covers it. What about you? What are your goals and action tasks for this month? Write them out, do a quick video, create a graphic, whatever works for you. Share them and use the #MDGBizBoost hashtag so we can hold each other accountable.
.
Happy December! .

Dr. Heidi Green (@drheidigreen): "We’ve all heard it said that happiness is a choice, that everyday we have the power to choose happy.
.
I call BS. I think we have a lot of choices and in most situations we have a choice to attend to the negative or focus on the positive. More often than not, we can choose to be miserable or choose acceptance.
.
But sometimes it really isn’t a choice. Some days things are so bad, it would be inappropriate to “choose happy.” On those days, it’s best to just be sad, or angry, or scared and feel the appropriate emotions for the situation.
.
But we still have a choice. We can choose to be kind and compassionate toward ourselves in the midst of the suckage. We can choose to be patient and loving. We can choose to engage in self-care and we can choose to lean on our support system. We can make choices that ease our suffering or at least don’t make the situation worse.
.
Some days, that’s the only choice we can make. And that’s totally okay."
