Product Description

Take the plunge. Come out ahead.

There are certain risks you might feel uncomfortable making—but calculated risks are necessary to propel you to new heights in your professional and personal development. Every time you choose security over something new, you’re missing new opportunities—and the chance to live a happier, more fulfilled life.

As CEO of Creative Expansions, Inc., Helene Lerner coaches women on how to actualize their potential, increase their self-esteem, and reach their goals. Now, in Smart Women Take Risks, she shares her powerful 6-step program, revealing how you too can take smart, strategic risks born from careful thought and intuition-and create positive change in your professional and personal life.

Lerner helps you change your perception about risk-taking, and shows you how to determine whether a risk is a Best Bet, a Not Now, or a No Go. You won't risk blindly; you'll go in with your eyes wide open and commit to a doable goal that lets you move forward confidently without the overpowering fear of failure. Lerner gives you expert tools that will help you:

  • Build and maintain a strong support team-a crucial step for successfully creating change
  • Overcome procrastination, perfectionism, and second-guessing
  • Vocalize your success (yes, it's ok to brag!)
  • Keep your accomplishments “green” by continuing to build on them
  • Apply these risk-taking principles to other areas of your life

Lerner shares inspiring stories and tips from women who stepped out of their own comfort zones, took leaps, and moved ahead with faith and confidence. she shows you how to harness the opportunities in your own life--and take risks that will push you to greater heights of success.

5 out of 5 stars Smart women (and men!) oughta read "Smart Women Take Risks"!   May 15, 2006

After reading Helene Lerner's inspirational book, I found the courage to risk making dream come true...and started the company I'd been talking about for years: "The Leading Edge Writers' Studios" was an instant success, thanks in no small part to Helene's savvy, no-nonsense advice. A multi-published author myself, I know how much time and effort went into this thoroughly helpful 'learn by doing' tome. I recommend "Smart Women Take Risks" to students of my writing workshops...and anyone else (male or female!) who wants to turn wishes--personal or professional--into realities.
