Publisher's summary

Yes Please! is a leadership development tool that is grounded in positive psychology and neuroscience. It supports high- performing women leaders of color in finding happiness in the midst of the uniques challenges they face as they aim for senior executive ranks. Author, L. Michelle Smith surveyed 100 high-performing black women leaders and uncovered that 90% of them did not describe themselves as happy in their corporate careers, and as research in positive psychology has found, happy people are successful people.

Yes Please! highlights seven secrets, 32 powerful questions, engaging storytelling, stinging truths and mountains of credible guidance from women of color who have lived experience and experts that provide the insights and stats. The author’s story and insight a as a corporate executive, business owner and mom-in- chief are also throughout.

Yes Please! helps these women leaders reclaim their happiness by providing seven powerful solution-specific affirmations to counter the negativity from toxic workplaces. The book covers compensation, likability versus respect, partnership and marriage, sponsorship failures, moving on to move up, women supporting women and more.
