You Were Never Meant to Play Small

Join Lead Like a Woman — A Co-Author Book Experience Curated by Erica Gifford Mills

I didn’t create this book to teach women how to lead.
I created it because we already are.

We’re leading in boardrooms and living rooms.
On stages and in silence.
In startups and schools. In our communities, our homes — and in the quiet battles nobody sees.
We’re already holding it all.
And still… too often, we’re overlooked, underestimated, or told to dim our light just to fit into someone else’s mold.

That ends here.

Lead Like a Woman

is a bold, unapologetic book project for women who are done waiting for permission.
This is your platform to rise, speak, and lead from power — not perfection.

Curated by international empowerment expert Erica Gifford Mills and published by The International Impact Book Awards, this anthology features 25 women rewriting what leadership looks like — not by playing the game, but by changing it.
And you can be one of them.

This is your invitation to:

  • Share your story in a professionally published book set to become a #1 Amazon Bestseller
  • Elevate your brand and step into your next level of influence
  • Join a high-level mastermind + book signing experience in Tampa, Florida
  • Connect with powerhouse women leaders from around the world
      And most of all… lead without apology, without permission, and without playing small

Whether you’re building a business, guiding a team, raising a family, or reclaiming your voice…
You belong here.

Let Lead Like a Woman be your reminder — not your permission slip.
Because you never needed one in the first place.
