Publisher's Summary

Read by the author.

You can't make the world fair, but you can take back your power.

As a woman in Silicon Valley who worked her way to the top of the corporate ladder—she's a former VP at Facebook and the current president and CEO of Ancestry—Deborah Liu knows firsthand the challenges and obstacles in the workplace that keep the deck stacked against women in the workplace . . . and the ways to overcome them.

For every woman who grew up competing on the uneven playing field, who is told she is too aggressive, assertive, dramatic, or emotional, this book is the battle cry you need to learn to thrive within the system that exists today, even if it's not the one we wish it were.

Take Back Your Power presents both hard data and Liu's personal experiences from twenty years as a woman leader in the male-dominated tech industry to help you:

  • Find your voice, learn how to ask, and achieve what you want in a system that isn't fair and wasn't created for you
  • Debunk the negative connotations of "power" and harness it for your own success
  • Discover how to be heard, seen, and taken more seriously at work by getting out of your own way
  • Overcome the lie that success is only achieved alone by finding the four types of allies you need to reach your goals
  • Become a great leader without losing yourself in the process

You have the power to change the future of work for yourself—and for women everywhere.

Relatable, concise, and powerful

I finished the book within 24 hours of starting it. I had a hardcover to follow along while listening to the audio version.

It's so relatable because Deb is east-Asian. I have never come across someone who looks like me, tell their story.

It's concise as it's written in 10 distinct ways in which women can take back their power. Each chapter tells stories of women and of Deb herself that drives it home.

It's powerful as it really hits home on how disadvantaged women are at the workplace. The stats shared are not exactly new and it's very real.

I have a club at work and this book is this month's reading homework!

Let's keep taking back our power, ladies.
