Frustrated Being Underestimated?
Power Without Permission
Real Stories & Practical Tools to Quiet Imposter Syndrome and Lead with Your Brilliance
You’re not alone.
I’ve seen too many brilliant, ambitious women question their worth and feel like they’re one wrong move from being “found out.”
You’re not broken. The system is.
And it’s time you start leading on our own terms.
That’s why I wrote Power Without Permission with 13 incredible women who’ve been there too. It’s full of real stories, practical tools, and mindset shifts to help you build confidence and lead true to you.
Wait … why is a guy writing a leadership book for women?
Fair question. Honestly, I asked myself the same thing before starting.
I’m not here to speak for women or pretend I know what it’s like to walk in your shoes. After 20+ years mentoring and working alongside women leaders, I’ve seen what helps them move forward and what holds them back.
This book isn’t me giving advice from the top down. It’s created with 13 incredible women leaders who’ve done the hard work of learning to trust themselves, speak up, and lead in a way that’s true to them.
I was raised by a single mom in Sweden. She led with quiet strength and grit, and she taught me early on: We don’t need more women acting like men to lead. We need more spaces where women can lead like themselves.
You don’t need fixing. Just a path and a few people who believe in your potential.
