I’ve been a member of the ACCELERATE Academy for a few years and love the community Sandra Garlick MBE has created for women in business. Through her academy, network, and awards, she provides a fabulous space to show up and be visible.
One of the projects Sandra includes for her members is to write and publish a collaborative book, and this year I was grateful not only to write a chapter but also to be on the production team.
Allow me to introduce you to I Am A Woman Who: Visibility Edition.
26 Women. 26 Visibility Stories.
This book brings together twenty-six women in business, each sharing their own unique visibility journey. Some chapters explore confidence and mindset. Others focus on speaking up, stepping into leadership, building a personal brand, or overcoming fear and self-doubt.
These aren’t polished overnight success stories, but real experiences from women who chose to be seen, even when it felt scary.
Inside the book, you’ll discover stories about:
- Building confidence in business
- Finding your voice
- Showing up authentically
- Overcoming imposter syndrome
- Creating opportunities through visibility
- Using your story to connect with others
- Stepping into leadership and speaking opportunities
It’s a fabulous resource for any business owner, and a fascinating read.
Visibility Changes Everything
One of the biggest misconceptions around visibility is that it’s about ego or attention. It’s not. Visibility is about connection and allowing the right people to find you.
When you start sharing your story, your experiences, your expertise, and even the lessons you’ve learned, you create trust, become memorable, and open doors to collaborations, clients, speaking opportunities, media features, and community.
This brilliant collection of stories reached number one in the self-employment category on Amazon within twenty-four hours of going live, proving just how deeply these stories resonated with women in business.
We’re living in a world where personal branding matters more than ever. People are looking for real, human connection, authenticity, entertainment, and honesty. They want to hear about the stories (and face) behind the business.
I Am A Woman Who: Visibility Edition reminds us that visibility doesn’t have to mean being loud. Sometimes it’s as simple as showing up as yourself!
If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, worried about putting yourself out there, or wondered whether your story matters, this book will remind you that your voice has value. It’s the kind of book you can dip into chapter by chapter whenever you need encouragement, inspiration, or a reminder that visibility is something you grow into.
You can find I Am A Woman Who: Visibility Edition on Amazon UK or Amazon US.
