Kisha Wynter's Your Power Unleashed is a motivational book on breaking down barriers that women in business face and gaining freedom from cultural or personal limitations. As a corporate titan and executive mentor, the author provides women with the keys to excel and be in command of their destiny. The book is structured in two parts: the first section is about how to transform oneself on the inside; for example, how to eliminate negative self-talk and how to stop sabotaging oneself due to fear or lack of confidence. The second part provides practical tools on how to achieve promotion at work, how to build confidence when speaking in public, or how to demand a pay rise. Listing incidents from her own life, coaching sessions, and micro-teaching sessions, the author covers all aspects of a woman’s life. She empowers them to achieve success, contentment, and monetary independence.

I found Kisha Wynter’s writing style engaging and inspiring. The overall idea in the book is outlined and connected sequentially, starting from internal self-identity and continuing with exterior career guidance. It is well-paced and cumulative, with each chapter progressing from the previous one, which allows the reader to apply the methods effectively and steadily. Wynter does a perfect job of making real-life concepts visual so that the reader can follow them easily. Ideas of freedom, strength, and advocacy are core principles, and Wynter’s voice encourages and uplifts them. Your Power Unleashed is a powerful and very effective book for any woman who wants to excel in her career and embrace her individuality.

In her self-help guide Your Power Unleashed, Kisha Wynter, a global HR leader, shares her experiences with self-doubt and its roots in systemic biases, childhood experiences, and brain mechanisms. She explains that self-doubt often surfaces during growth and transformation, galvanizing readers for self-awareness, positive affirmations, and personal development as remedies. Wynter identifies barriers such as the "Indecisive Expert" and "Perfectionist," distinguishing between excellence and perfectionism. She recommends managing internal criticism, setting realistic expectations, and separating self-worth from performance. Wynter also speaks on aligning actions with core values, overcoming self-sabotage, and practicing self-care. She leans heavily into the significance of self-affirmation, effective communication, and proactive career management, and talks about the need for men's involvement in achieving gender equality and effective coaching to address biases and support women's advancement.

Your Power Unleashed is made wonderfully personal as a result of author Kisha Wynter's personal anecdotes, sharing real-life experiences that made me connect with her and trust her almost immediately. I also appreciated the use of examples from others, and even texts and movies, such as the story of Maddy from the movie “Everything, Everything” to illustrate fear-driven rigidity. Wynter gifts readers with structured pathways that help women understand that progress is incremental and achievable with persistent effort, and she provides actionable steps through approaches like The DIVA Method®, which I found to be especially helpful in working toward setting and achieving specific goals. Wynter's writing is what I would describe as conversationally academic. It's clear that she is an authority in what it takes to drive change through the empowerment of women, and that she knows how to convey a message in the most consumable way possible. Very well done and highly recommended.

After working with women over the last eleven years to provide them with the tools they needed to live the professional lives they deserved, Kisha Wynter developed her DIVA Method ® and wrote Your Power Unleashed. As a female who rose in the ranks of corporate power, Wynter knows about the external and internal forces that keep women from fulfilling their full potential. Wynter helps you locate potentially destructive patterns, create a new way of thinking, and understand "unwritten rules" so you can make empowering decisions to elevate your career. She supplies tips that combat self-doubt, perfectionism, and self-sabotage. The author teaches you to use "power language" that could lead to promotions, better salaries, and a healthier approach in male-dominated areas.

Kisha Wynter acts as your mentor, guiding you through the details you need to succeed without letting you lose your story or your voice. The narrative exudes confidence and experience as she shares advice that will allow you to remain authentic while challenging the view of a woman in corporate America. The text is like a workbook with inspiring stories that will motivate you to act and apply what you've learned, resulting in more recognition as others see your potential and value. You may find it is easier to be BOLD (Break Out of Limits Daringly) and B.A.C. (Bold, Audacious, and Courageous) with a friend, co-workers, or another group, so you can work on the information and activities alone or with others. If you're ready to achieve greatness, but you don't know where to start, and want to work together to promote gender equality, you will benefit from reading Your Power Unleashed.
