Begin Boldly: How Women Can Reimagine Risk, Embrace Uncertainty & Launch a Brilliant Career

By Christie Hunter Arscott

Book Overview

Learn how to take the right risks for lasting success. This book offers a framework for identifying and making the kind of bold moves that will get your career off to its best start.

Many women enter the workforce feeling like they can never make a mistake. As a result, they avoid risks such as raising their hands for challenging assignments or stretch roles, making a presentation to management or clients, putting themselves up for a promotion, or asking for a raise. But betting on oneself is an essential part of getting ahead, and risk-taking is an essential skill needed to build a fulfilling and exciting career.

In this book, Christie Hunter Arscott equips readers with the ability to differentiate between reckless and intelligent risks using an actionable model built around three mindsets: a curious mindset, a courageous mindset, and an agile mindset. With a step-by-step method for taking risks, assessing rewards, and refining approaches, Hunter Arscott gives women a flexible and repeatable framework to guide them through this critical career skill.

Begin Boldly empowers women to take chances on themselves and turns risk-taking into an enlightening and empowering antidote for self-doubt. Because, as Hunter Arscott reminds us, the biggest risk for early career women is not taking any risks at all.
