Based on Tara Mohr's acclaimed leadership program, Playing Big arms women with the practical skills that will embolden them to voice and implement the changes they want to see-- both in themselves and in the world.
Klappentext zu „Playing Big “
A groundbreaking women's leadership expert and popular conference speaker gives women the practical skills to voice and implement the changes they want to see-in themselves and in the worldIn her coaching and programs for women, Tara Mohr saw how women were "playing small" in their lives and careers, were frustrated by it, and wanted to "play bigger." She has devised a proven way for them to achieve their dreams by playing big from the inside out. Mohr's work helping women play bigger has earned acclaim from the likes of Maria Shriver and Jillian Michaels, and has been featured on the Today show, CNN, and a host of other media outlets.
Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In gave many women new awareness about what kinds of changes they need to make to become more successful; yet most women need help implementing them. In the tradition of Brené Brown's Daring Greatly, Playing Big provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, "unhook" from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive good girl habits, and begin taking bold action.
While not all women aspire to end up in the corner office, every woman aspires to something. Playing Big fills a major gap among women's career books; it isn't just for corporate women. The book offers tools to help every woman play bigger-whether she's an executive, community volunteer, artist, or stay-at-home mom.
Thousands of women across the country have been transformed by Mohr's program, and now this book makes the ideas and practices available to everyone who is ready to play big.

INTRODUCTION
You know that woman. She s a good friend or a colleague from work. She s smart and insightful. She gets it: Whatever the situation at her company, or in her community, or in the news, she has great ideas about what needs to happen. She s high integrity too no greed, no temptation to corruption, no big hunger for power. And she s funny, warm, and trustworthy.
Sometimes, you listen to her talk and think, if only people like her were in charge . . .
So here s the thing: The way that you look at that woman? Someone looks at you that way. In fact, many people do. To us, you are that talented woman who doesn t see how talented she is. You are the woman who it s clear to us could start an innovative company or pull one out of the dysfunction it s in, improve the local schools, or write a book that would change thousands of lives. You are that fabulous, we-wish-she-was-speaking-up-more woman.
Playing Big is about bridging the gap between what we see in you and what you know about yourself. It s a practical guide to moving past self-doubt and creating what you most want to create whether in your career, in your community, or in a passion you pursue outside of work. It s not about the old-school notion of playing big more money, more prestigious title, a bigger empire, or fame. It s about you living with a sense of greater freedom to express your voice and pursue your aspirations. It s playing big according to what playing big truly means to you. And if you don t know what playing big looks like for you yet, the ideas and tools here will help you discover that.
This playing big is not about climbing the ladder within broken systems. It s about learning how to use your voice to change those systems. It s not about opting in or opting out according to our society s current thinking around what women should and shouldn t be doing. It s about turning away from those narrow labels,

refocusing your attention on your longings and dreams, and playing big in going for them.
This book was born out of a frustration and a hope. The frustration? Brilliant women are playing small. The hope? That the world could be changed for the much, much better by our greater participation.
Nisha was one of my first coaching clients: in her early thirties; long, flowing black hair; always in bright colors that brought to life her beautiful face. Nisha was a midlevel program manager at a nonprofit organization. She was known there as a quiet, organized administrator, good at implementing others plans.
Yet in our coaching sessions, I got to know a very different Nisha. It turned out she was an avid learner who spent much of her free time reading the important journals and books related to her field. She was a creative thinker, full of ideas for how her organization could improve its work by incorporating the latest thinking in the industry. I happened to be very familiar with Nisha s employer and, after just a few meetings with her, could see that she was thinking about the future of the organization in a way that was at least as sophisticated and smart, if not more so, as the CEO and board were. But no one in Nisha s workplace knew any of this. Nisha s ideas and gifts were hidden. They were not making it out of her head and heart and into her organization.
Among my coaching clients, friends, and colleagues, I kept encountering women like Nisha: brilliant women who couldn t quite see their own brilliance, women who were convinced their ideas needed more perfecting or refinement or time before being put into action, or women who for reasons they weren t sure of were not moving forward toward their greatest aspirations and dreams.

Advance praise for Playing Big "At last. At last this very important book has been written, encouraging women to take up all the creative space they deserve in the world. I hope it will empower legions of women to step into their greatness. I couldn't be happier about this publication."
Elizabeth Gilbert
"Tara and I share the same philosophy: we hope inspirational ideas will ignite you to go out and make an impact in your own life. Whether she s writing for mariashriver.com or urging others to become a change agent through her book, Tara is practicing the Playing Big words she preaches."
Maria Shriver
"Tara Mohr offers a new model of leadership, one that acknowledges and embraces the complex realities of women's lives. She shows us how to take the leap, even when we don't feel ready. Playing Big is the perfect catalyst for any woman who wants to go outside her comfort zone, find her voice, and embrace the biggest possibilities of her life."
Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct

I guarantee that you will find yourself and your dreams somewhere in this book and when you do Tara's deep insights, her practical action steps and her real life stories will set you free."
Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather s Blessings
"Luminous, deep, and practical. I've asked every woman in my all-woman company to put Playing Big first on their reading list. We want to make a difference in the world, we want to live full-on, and we know that our passion is powerful. We need this! Playing Big is like a torch that shows you where assumptions you've been holding could be holding you back -- even if you think you're using your power to the fullest."
Danielle LaPorte, author of The Desire Map and The Fire Starter Sessions
"For anyone who's afraid they don't have what it takes to live a bigger life, Playing Big shows you unquestionably do. Thought-provoking coaching and exercises help us access our existing inner resources by grounding us in reality and possibility instead of fear. Mohr's goal is not about getting the next promotion (although that may come too) but something much more lasting and limitless: true empowerment from the inside, and the capacity to change the world."
Patty Chang Anker, author of Some Nerve
"When I was at a critical career juncture, I took Tara's online leadership course and it was transformative. After just three sessions, I had decided to quit my current job, start my own consulting practice, and follow my passion around developing leadership for large-scale social impact. While I'd already had some success, Tara's work was instrumental in helping me find my own inner calling, unhook from other's expectations, and start playing really big. Her book captures the key lessons of the course in a compelling format, and is sure to help countless women and social entrepreneurs achieve even greater impact in the world."
Heather McLeod Grant, coauthor of Forces for Good
"This is the how-to manual we've been waiting for. Tara cuts through our playing small strategies with every brilliant word and liberating idea.

May this powerful book help us create a more just and happy world."
Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book and The Woman's Retreat Book
"If you've ever struggled (as I have!) with feeling like you have so much more to offer the world yet are unsure of the next step, Playing Big will give you the road map. Chapter after chapter I felt Tara was speaking directly to my soul... there's not a trick for hiding and playing small that she misses. Tara's tools will help you excavate your voice, clarify your mission & message, and fuel yourself renewably from the inside out. Playing Big is a must read for every woman with a dream."
Manisha Thakor, CEO of MoneyZen Wealth Management

Rachel Simmons, author of The Curse of the Good Girl
