A game-changing guide for women who want to transform the way they work and create their own success—from an award-winning global diversity expert.

In today’s world, it takes more than ambition to succeed. It takes intention. But intention without clarity, deliberate words, and calculated actions is meaningless. According to Michelle Gadsden-Williams, a global expert in diversity, workplace culture, and career building, intention is more than just setting goals. It’s seamlessly executing and achieving them. In this groundbreaking guide, she shows women how to both show up authentically and, more importantly, do the work that gets results. Her research-based insights, real-world strategies, and self-empowering exercises provide all the tools you need to:

Create clear goals and intentions—then follow through with words and actions.
Bridge the gap between who you are and how you present yourself at work.
Pursue what matters most by aligning your goals and behaviors with your values.
"Strengthen your squad" and build authentic, affirmative relationships.
Navigate career “swerves” and avoid the fallout from burnout.

Driven by Intention not only offers practical advice on a wide range of workplace challenges, it explores the inspiring successes (and occasional stumbles) of real working women today—including Mellody Hobson, President and Co-CEO of the largest black-owned asset management firm, Ariel Investments; Georgene Huang and Romy Newman, the CEO and Co-Founder and President and Co-Founder of Fairygodboss; Sheri Salata who had extraordinary success as the Co-President of the Oprah Winfrey Network and President of Winfrey’s Harpo Productions; and Angela Yee the host of the wildly popular, nationally syndicated morning show, The Breakfast Club, along with DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God. Filled with unvarnished truths, hard-won wisdom, hands-on tips, and heartfelt insights, Driven by Intention is a book for impact seekers who want to make a real difference at work, in the world, and in their own lives—on their own terms.
