Now, Speak Up Lady! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789355544445)

Lady, now break the bias that buckles you! That's the deal.

"A compendium of real-life examples and experiences, this book is a practical guide to getting rid of our own biases, rising above self-imposed limitations, and leading a life and career with our heads held high."

- Balaji Viswanathan,

Managing Director & CEO, Expleo India

For a working woman, is relationship a compromise or empathy? Is it work-life balance or integration for her? Rather, it is a life stage transition that must be approached, decoded, and presented in a format that would not only help women professionals break their own biases but also would motivate them to speak up.

However, the real challenge lies in demystifying the impasse; speak up to whom: to the society, the professional world or to one's own self? Speaking up must not be misinterpreted as some sort of rebellion. Let us also admit that we as women have our own innate biases, which either hold the world as the culprit or we get sucked into self-pity. If we fail to work on our own biases as women, nothing will work out. If we do not change, nothing changes.

In Now, Speak Up Lady! through a series of real-life stories, both from her personal repertoire and few of her mentees, Deepika Chawla, a qualified CA & a financial professional with 3 decades of global corporate experience, has crafted a compilation of events, where every story calls for a deeper introspection. It helps us gain clarity to identify our true self as a woman, unwrap the layers that each one of us nurtures deep inside us, relook at the mirror, and ask, who am I?

These stories will not just be motivating for every woman professional, but it's a way to deal with challenges, psychological or consequential, at home and work.
