Synopsis

From an inspiring voice in the movement for gender equality, a practical guide to achieving success through a new kind of leadership--rooted in purpose and activism for social change

We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity for women. Yet despite centuries of progress, true equality remains out of reach. What will it take to bring us to a tipping point?

To leadership expert and social entrepreneur Claudia Chan, the key is shifting to a "me for we" mindset, where individuals root their effort in a mission far bigger than personal success, and getting everyone -- women and men -- to work together for social change. By lifting others, we not only make the world better, but we can also discover our greatest meaning and achieve lasting fulfillment.

In This Is How We Rise, Claudia encourages readers to join a new breed of leaders and become change makers for gender equality. Distilling wisdom and insights from her own personal and professional journey, she shares key lessons learned and offers a toolbox of thirteen foundational habits. Claudia shows how to define and develop your own purpose, vision, and pathway to becoming a thriving agent for good.

Whether you own your own business or are part of the corporate world, whether you're at the top of your field or are just starting out in your career, you have the power to lead change and achieve extraordinary success in all areas of your life. This Is How We Rise will show you how to unleash it.

Goodreads review by Cindy on October 31, 2018

I was disappointed to find that this book provided less hard-hitting guidelines for career women and consisted solely of sentimental mindfulness principles. While those things are totally valid, having that encompass the entire book made it too fluffy for my tastes. The principles are generic values......more

This book is good for the first time reader in this space. Perhaps the millennial female who is enthusiastic about championing a cause. But for a seasoned mentor or coach, this is stuff we already know. Good points - Chan offers vulnerability and transparency in the book by sharing her personal jour......more

3.5/5 People sometimes ask, "If there really is a God, why doesn't God simply put end to a conflict, suffering, violence, hunger or poverty?" Well, guess what? I believe that God created a solution called people to do that. I consider myself as a spiritual person. If a motivational book does not have......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on May 28, 2020

Fluff. Borderline toxic positivity. A whole lot of “work harder” and not much else. Very white collar, not much for those of us who have not had as many resources available to us from a young age. Meh.......more

"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

"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 inspired me to launch my financial services company when she asked me 'Who are the banks that support women?' When I couldn't answer her, I realized I had to do it myself. 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."

--- Amanda Steinberg, founder & CEO of DailyWorth.com & WorthFM

"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
