Summary
Ready to Rise by Jo Saxton is a must read for all women. Even if you are not in a leadership role you will relate to so many of her stories and situations. I highlighted so many sections of this book that are encouraging and reminders. And sometimes a nugget that helped me know I am not alone in the situations I face.
It is amazing that Jo wrote this book before knowing we would be in a pandemic, economic and racial unrest. So many times in the book you felt that she was writing for this specific time period.
Jo addresses the challenges that women face in leadership, influence and accepting our gifts. She solidifies her messages with stories of her own personal journey, those of biblical times and women of today. Jo has a writing skill that makes you feel that she is talking directly to you.
I was able to read this book for free from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. However know that I enjoyed this book so much I bought it for three of my friends. This book would make an excellent book club selection. I am knew to Jo’s writing and speaking but am following her now and thrilled to have found her voice of encouragement.
I received this book from author and/or publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
