Join Barrie Zucal at upcoming book events, conversations, and special appearances celebrating BOLD: How Women PLAY BIG by Leading Instead of Pleasing.
Explore the ideas behind the book, connect with the conversation, and discover what it means to lead more boldly in your own life.
Barrie makes the case that what she calls “debilitating goodness” — the quiet conditioning that pushes women toward pleasing, performing, and perfecting instead of leading, living, and developing — is one of the biggest forces holding women back from their ambitions. Blending decades of clinical and coaching experience with hard-won personal reinvention, Barrie offers a practical, empowering roadmap for women ready to lead unapologetically.
BroadwayWorld announces the release of BOLD, Barrie’s guide to trading people-pleasing for leadership, with reflection exercises and practical next steps.
Stacey Soble profiles Barrie, a therapist, executive coach, and powerlifter at 80, and the argument at the heart of BOLD: that women are conditioned to put pleasing others ahead of their own goals.
How often do you put what you want on the back burner because someone else needs something from you? Women are taught to be accommodating, pleasing, helpful, and easy to get along with. But what happens when you stop planning your life around everyone else and start paying attention to your own longings and enthusiasm?
