Driven by Intention: Own Your Purpose, Gain Power, and Pursue Your Passion as a Woman at Work

Ambition alone will only take you but so far. Without a plan, however, you're left with blind ambition and that won't necessarily take you where you want to go.

In this groundbreaking book by diversity, workplace culture, and career building expert Michelle Gadsden-Williams, you’ll discover how much more useful—and rewarding—it is to cultivate an intentional mindset.

Deeply inspiring and eminently practical, Driven by Intention shows how intention is about so much more than simply setting goals: it’s figuring out why we choose what we want to do and how we get this done in order to seamlessly execute and achieve our passions. Simply put, intention is the “secret sauce” of realizing your vision—at home, at work, or wherever you have passions worth pursuing.

Gadsden-Williams combines years of professional experience with research-based insights, proven strategies, and effective exercises to provide the tools you need to get started, in chapters that include:

• Setting Intentions vs Setting Goals
• Strengthening Your Squad
• Defining Your Meaning by Impact
• Transforming Company Culture
• Leveraging Your Prized Assets
• Managing Your Financial Life
• Men as Allies for Female Leaders

Driven by Intention is a book for impact seekers who want to make a material difference at work, in the world, and in their own lives—on their own terms.
