👩‍💻 Why, If You Are a Woman in Tech, You Need The Leadership Leap

Updated: Sep 16

“Sometimes we’re not breaking glass ceilings — we’re walking barefoot across their shattered pieces.”


If you are a woman in tech, you already know:

It’s not just about building systems.

It’s about surviving them.


It’s about learning to code, while decoding the room.

About compiling programs, and your own voice,

So it won’t get lost in the noise.


And I don’t write this as an outsider.

I’ve lived it.


I’ve been the only woman in the meeting.

I’ve had my competence questioned, my empathy dismissed, my vision minimized.

I’ve juggled deadlines with dinner, led teams while nursing babies, and written strategy documents between trauma triggers.


I’ve rebuilt my leadership career, not once, but multiple times, after life tried to take it from me.


Today, I lead high-impact tech teams, coach executives across industries, and train future leaders in how to rise without shedding who they are.


And I wrote The Leadership Leap because I never want another woman to feel like she has to trade her authenticity for access or her empathy for effectiveness.


This book is your companion,

not to fit into the system,

but to transform it from the inside out.


Here’s the world we walk in and where

The Leadership Leap leads us instead:



You’ve Been the Only Woman in the Room or One of Very Few.


That silence you walk into?

I know it.

The sideways glances, the jokes that aren’t quite jokes, the performance you must give just to be heard.


📖 Chapter 17: Radical Inclusion

→ Shows how to stop shrinking into spaces that weren’t built for you — and start shaping them instead.



You’ve Been Interrupted, Talked Over, or Explained To.


Mansplaining wears a pretty face, it smiles while stealing your thunder.


📖 Chapter 13: Boundaries with Backbone

→ Teaches you how to interrupt the interruption — not with aggression, but with grounded presence.



You’ve Had to Prove Yourself, Again, and Again, and Again.


Your resume glows.

Your code is clean.

But someone still asks, “Did you build this yourself?”


📖 Chapter 3: Through the Fire

→ Helps you lead not to prove your worth — but because you already own it.



You’ve Been Overlooked for Promotion or Leadership


Despite mentoring others, delivering results, holding the team together

You watch others rise.

Quiet resentment grows beside your brilliance.


📖 Chapter 17: Radical Inclusion

→ Equips you to create structures that elevate your leadership potential too.



You’re Balancing Code Reviews and School Drop-Offs


Career growth isn’t just about climbing.

It’s about carrying, groceries, toddlers, eldercare, emotional labor.


📖 Chapter 6: Rooted to Thrive

→ Helps you hold your values steady while expanding into your ambitions.



You’ve Been Told You’re Too Emotional


That your voice trembled in the wrong meeting.

That you care too much.


📖 Chapter 9: Chosen Growth

→ Reclaims your emotional sensitivity as strategic leadership insight.



You’ve Faced Subtle (and Not-So-Subtle) Harassment


The comments. The cold shoulders. The coffee chats you’re not invited to.

Some wounds don’t show up in incident reports.


📖 Chapter 17: Radical Inclusion

→ Builds environments where truth is safe and silence doesn’t win.



You Want to Lead With Empathy and Authenticity, Not Bravado


You don’t want to wear someone else’s armor.

You want to lead in your own skin, with heart, conviction, and vision.


📖 Chapter 20: Rise with Purpose

→ Hands you the tools to lead as yourself, with power, purpose, and peace.



This Book Isn’t Just About Tech.


It’s about the systems we inherit, the battles we choose,

and the future we decide to build, one team, one voice, one leap at a time.


For every woman in tech who’s been told

she’s too loud, too soft, too much, or not enough, this book says:


🐉 You were never too much.

You were just made for more.

This week, I’ll also be sharing why this book is a lifeline for others too…


📘 The Leadership Leap is for:


🧕 Women in Tech

🌍 Immigrants in Tech

🧠 Neurodivergents in Tech

🐉 Because leadership shouldn’t require masking.

It should invite you to rise as you are.
