About the Book

** Business Book Awards 2023 Finalist ** Women leaders across the globe are experiencing the influence gap. They struggle to get their voice heard in meetings. They can’t get a seat at the table for the decisions that matter. It’s a systemic problem, not a problem with women. It’s no wonder so many talented women experience imposter syndrome! Closing the Influence Gap empowers women leaders to successfully navigate the workplace, leading their way and changing it for the better. It is a reference tool packed with practical strategies and a troubleshooting section which women can draw on daily to tackle the challenging conversations, decisions and situations they face. It shows women how they can believe in themselves in challenging situations, helps them to get the recognition they deserve as leaders and provides them with the influencing skills they need to get their voices heard and increase their impact. Carla Miller is a leadership coach and chart-topping podcast host who works with women in management and leadership roles to develop their careers and their confidence. Hundreds of women leaders from global companies, the public sector and charities have taken part in her Influence & Impact programme.

Review :
Miller’s practical and comprehensive guide… will undoubtably be the book that many ambitious female leaders wished they had read at the start of their careers. I appreciated this realistic approach to guidance for female leaders in the workplace, especially those who are newly promoted or just starting their journey in management. I found the advice and point of view to be realistic, but not patronizing. Carla Miller leads us through how to handle imposter syndrome and how to overcome it. How to increase your impact in the workplace. Have your ideas heard in meetings and get the recognition you deserve. With strategies, tips, and troubleshooting all in one book tackling each scenario. With stories of the women leaders, Carla Miller has helped and put into practice the advice received. Reassuring, interesting and helped me secure a job promotion. Carla's book was an easy read, filled with examples and each chapter was well structured. It gave me confidence, reassured me and helped me believe in myself! This book shares some incredibly practical advice that I think most people can implement relatively easily to help progress their careers. Great read, not preachy in any way as I have found some leadership books, and one I've recommended to others. The hard-hitting introduction of this book perfectly summarises the harm that the Influence Gap is having, not only to women in the workplace but on organisations globally. And it’s this challenge of gender inequality that the author aims to help women to navigate through this practical and punchy guide Giving women a how to manage leadership in a male dominated world. Great read for some practical tips to get busy, to be heard and to get recognition.
