Girls Lead: Extraordinary Girls Share How You Can Stand Up, Step Out and Lead in All Areas of Your Life - Softcover

Featuring girls and young women authors from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and ages from around the country (and even the world), Girls Lead shows that every girl, right now, regardless of challenges and setbacks, can bounce back—and lead, achieve and succeed—all while she is having her own unique impact on the world.

But it’s not always easy. Why? Because, sadly—and you may agree—the many amazing examples of other girls and women leading can sometimes be hard to focus on in a world overshadowed by tons of negative media hype painting a very different picture of what matters. Because all those negative media messages are quickly turning girls’ “I can lead attitudes” into “I just can’t,” many girls, who want to let their leader shine, often step down instead of step up or feel alone, like an outsider, or like they don’t fit in.

Girls Lead hopes to change that by providing a much-needed positive alternative for girls to so much of the negative media hype. Far from destructive Reality TV drama, cat fights or stereotypes—Girls Lead focuses on sharing the inspirational stories of real girls for the real world—a girl who stands for leadership, character and excellence.

Far from just a book, Girls Lead, is a movement supported by amazing people like you—parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, mentors, professionals and girls and young women.

Far from just words on a page, Girls Lead is an anthem that helps girls and young women embrace the message, “You are NOT alone! You are valuable! You matter! You deserve to love who you are right now and feel supported and inspired to lead your boldest, brightest and best life possible!”

Girls Lead spotlights a wide range of engaging and meaningful stories from girls and young women that address topics that are most important to girls in today’s world: girl drama and queen bees, bullying, overcoming tough times, teen & young adult issues, overcoming self-doubt, having a healthy self-esteem, building a girl’s self-confidence and healthy body image, developing strong character, growing in wholehearted leadership and demonstrating kindness and self-respect.

Whether you are parenting teenagers, an advocate interested in learning about boosting girls self-esteem or young adult self-esteem, a mentor looking for a candid and educational resource that addresses teen & young adult issues, a girl leader or young woman who wants to be your best, or a caring mom or dad looking for fun and meaningful activities for girls, an adult looking for inspirational biography collections for your daughter or the special girl you care about, Girls Lead is for you!

By choosing to get this book right now, your are choosing to help the girls you care about in your life--and all girls--to paint a bigger, bolder and better picture of what is possible for herself, her future, and the world. Thank you!

Girls lead, YOU lead!

Research shows "girls need to see it to be it." As Julie has traveled the globe speaking for audiences of 70-70,000, and as a result of thousands of candid conversations Julie has had with girls about their biggest struggles and challenges, Julie has learned, first hand, how all the negative media hype that girls are seeing is undermining their self-confidence and self-esteem. Julie is on a mission to change this by providing girls a much-needed positive alternative. Her message is that it is awesome to be a girl of character, integrity and excellence! This is also the purpose of Girls Lead! Girls Lead shines a much-needed spotlight on real girls for the real world who deal with real-life struggles as they demonstrate that all girls can lead, achieve and succeed at any age!
