At a time when many women feel disempowered at work and burned out from juggling numerous responsibilities at home and in their professional lives, Leap: Why It's Time to Let Go to Get Ahead in Your Career by Jessica Galica inspires women to reinvent themselves and write their own stories. Galica draws from empirical research, interviews with women from different backgrounds, and her experiences in examining the barriers that women face when shifting their career paths and the doubts that confine them in roles that are no longer fulfilling. She covers her own story of feeling purposeless a decade later after striving and climbing the career ladder. Her work explains why women feel disengaged at work, how they can prepare for a successful career shift, and how they can strategize and achieve long-term career success.
This is a must-read for any woman feeling dissatisfied in their career but afraid of leaping and embracing new possibilities. Having read similar books, I was delighted to discover many eye-opening discussions in the work about the doubts that women struggle with when considering a career shift. The advice offered is practical and timely, especially following the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I appreciated that the step-by-step approach provided is strategic and will help women succeed in the long term in their careers. Galica draws from her wealth of experience and the experiences of many other women from different backgrounds, providing a book that is not only relatable but also invaluable. Jessica Galica’s career guide, Leap, is truly a gem. It offers women a sound, well-researched approach to lasting career success and fulfillment.
