Powerfully Likeable
Dr Kate Mason’s book, Powerfully Likeable delivers a smart, no bullshit take on how to command and communicate authority in a new world.
Powerfully Likeable is all about creating a new, personalized way of showing up at work, throwing out the rules we’ve been given and shaking off cultural mores.
While corporate feminism told us to “lean in” and hustle culture told us to “be more,” Dr Mason firmly believe the next wave of women’s power looks different—calmer, sharper, and more rooted in self-trust.
She take on ideas like the competence-likeability tax, what she call "Imposing Syndrome" (not imposter!), and the trap of overpreparing just to feel average— she hopes to give women a language in which to speak up, get heard, and own the room without selling out who they are.
Powerfully Likeable is a creative clarion call across cubicles to redefine what it means to speak with power and to find success on your own terms.
