Elevating Women Leaders: Stories of Strength, Survival and Success

In her book Elevating Women Who Lead: Strategies for Being, Becoming and Overcoming, Dr. Tracee Perryman discusses the strategies that individuals can use to tune out negative influences and focus on their leadership goals.

As the author states:

"I am writing this book because I believe we need a robust, strong group of women who affirm our PERMISSION to be who we are, define what we want, and achieve what we want. I believe we need a network of women who affirm our permission to acknowledge, accept, and fulfill the calls that each of us is uniquely gifted to achieve. We all have a contribution to make to this world, and it is time we enjoy the journey. Giving ourselves PERMISSION to exist and excel helps us enjoy our journeys."

Dr. Perryman emphasizes the importance of developing inner strengths and strategies, seeking out positive influences, as well as prioritizing self-care in order to stay focused on one's leadership goals. The road to leadership is not an easy one, and women will always encounter opposition and negativity. However, by cultivating a sense of purpose, surrounding oneself with positive influences, and taking care of oneself, it's possible to tune out distractions and focus on achieving their leadership goals.
