Book Review: Put In Work: Gain Respect, Influence Others, and Get Results as a New Leader

I met Dr. Brandi Baldwin-Rana a few years ago and felt an instant connection.  She is a millennial entrepreneur that has made fearless strides in the world of speaking, consulting, and entrepreneurship. Her energy and excitement for life is contagious! When I found out from a mutual friend that she had written a book, I knew I had to support this fellow Mom, wife, and serial entrepreneur.

Her book is entitled: "Put in Work: Gain Respect, Influence Others, and Get Results as a New Leader". It is NOT for the faint of heart nor is it for the reader that wants a pat on the back. It requires you to  honestly reflect on yourself and consider the intentions you are setting for your professional career or leadership journey.

Leadership is no longer a solo mission. You will learn the value of of teamwork and accountability. As a wife or mother, the layers of leadership become even more complex. She addresses all of that with wit, humor, and a few vulnerable moments in her leadership journey. Dr. Brandi holds nothing back when sharing her leadership journey. By the end of the book, I felt she was a "friend in my head" but also my coach to leadership success. My favorite part of this book was the opportunity to answer tough questions at the end of each chapter and strategize how I could personally implement each lesson in 60 days. This is a mainstay for any library! You will utilize this book for years to come.

NOTE: This book requires reader participation. You only get out what you put in.

I can't thank Dr. Brandi enough for her constant support of other millennial entrepreneurs and her work to support the next generation of leaders. You can purchase here book HERE or schedule her for your next upcoming seminar or continuing education event. You will NOT regret it!
