Accelerate Your Impact

Are you planning for your next promotion or position, a board seat, or even starting a new initiative? If so, did you know that there is a difference between working IN your career and ON your career? Many professional women aspire for more influence and impact within their careers, but many encounter a sea of obstacles because they don't have "the playbook" to navigate self-doubt, sponsors, and executive access. JJ DiGeronimo is no stranger to navigating the twists and turns of moving from entry-level into leadership positions, but she too had to learn how to work on her career to secure that next step in her professional journey. With years of launching and leading women in business initiatives, this book only includes information that was not available to her after 20 years of experience in the tech industry. Years of research, off the side of her desk, taught her that she had to learn how to unleash a different approach to leadership and insights to enhance her relevance, establish new sponsors, and expand her network. In Accelerate Your Impact: Action-based Strategies to Pave Your Professional Path, JJ offers a series of proven initiatives that high-impact men and women leverage to accelerate their professional paths. You'll learn: Strategies for maneuvering the professional landscape to foster future opportunities; Skills to minimize or even avoid common career pitfalls; Approaches to identify and connect with your career sponsors; and Techniques to select & participate on boards. Through personal anecdotes, examples, and stories from those who have stumbled, fallen, and succeeded, JJ shares this playbook for professional women with specific actions to maximize their talents and make their professional goals a reality.
