If you are a woman in corporate America, the phrase “Lean In” is probably not a new one. The phrase became popular in 2013 after Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s COO, published her book. It served as a call to action for women to stop holding themselves back from the big corporate career they always dreamed of. But what if that message fell flat for you, or now that you’ve had a child your career goals have completely shifted. What if you just want to be an average career mom?
Enter Monica Pierce and her book, “Leaning Out: An Alternative Perspective for the Modern Corporate Woman” (learn more here) Monica has worked in Corporate America for 15 years, starting out determined to “climb the ladder” and "Lean In" to her career. But over the years her professional ambition changed, specifically when she became a mother. Monica now passionately writes and speaks about alternative perspectives for modern corporate women. Monica and her husband have three young children and, following her own Leaning Out philosophy, they recently relocated from the busy Silicon Valley to Boise, Idaho where they live a slower-paced lifestyle, enjoying the outdoors and time together as a family.
Monica’s debut book, Leaning Out, is now available in print, ebook and audiobook. Leaning Out is being acclaimed as the long-awaited response to today’s mainstream messages and as a must-read for all modern corporate women.
