Veteran DEI leader Mita Mallick debunks thirteen myths that hold us back from transforming our workplaces. She delivers powerful storytelling combined with practical and hands-on ways for us to be more inclusive leaders. She teaches us that when we show up as more inclusive leaders, we have the power to change our organizations, ultimately creating a ripple effect across our ecosystem.

Change is a result of each of the choices we make and how they come to life. Unlocking the secret to change is about embracing the unknown. Rather than a prescription or step-by-step directions, creating and navigating sustainable change requires a new set of guiding principles and core values. In discovering the optimal tools and conditions for change, we can adopt them as a mindset and live them as intentional choices. Change can be approached and embraced, now and in an ongoing way. But that isn't always easy.

Real self-care is an internal, self-reflective process that involves making difficult decisions in line with our values, and when we practice it, we shift our relationships, our workplaces, and even our broken systems. Using case studies from her practice, clinical research, and the down-to-earth style that she's become known for, Pooja Lakshmin provides a step-by-step program for real and sustainable change. Real Self-Care is a complete roadmap for women to set boundaries, move past guilt, treat themselves with compassion, get closer to themselves, and assert their power.
