Cowgirl Power How to Kick Ass in Business and Life

Kick Ass Your Way

As the owner of one of the largest woman-owned advertising agencies in the U.S., Gay Gaddis knows a thing or two about empowerment. Gay's insights are rooted in the spirited strength of the real cowgirl heroines of the 1920s and '30s-gutsy risk -takers in everything they did. In Cowgirl Power, these cowgirls are celebrated as a metaphor for the power we all have to achieve far more than we think.

Whether your goal is to start a family, own a business, advance your career, organize community outreach, or run for office, it all comes down to power: knowing how to develop it and not being afraid to take it when it comes your way.

Gay's book and Cowgirl Power Toolkit will help you blaze a path to success, on your terms:

• Taking responsibility for yourself
• Building your own competence
• Finding your assertiveness
• Designing your own life
• Building a kick-ass culture
• Recognizing good ideas
• Becoming a fearless leader

Cowgirl Power is not about changing you. You are just fine. It's about understanding your strengths, building on them, and unlocking your power to kick ass-your way.
