A Woman's Strategic Guide to Transforming Workplace Culture
by Amy Kleist
For too long, women leaders have been told their empathy is a weakness, their care for people is "too soft," and their holistic thinking is impractical. This book proves the opposite: YOUR way of leading is exactly what modern workplaces need to transform.
You're exhausted from hustle culture. Your team is burned out. And you're tired of leadership advice that ignores what you already know: sustainable success comes from treating people like humans, not resources.
What if your "feminine" leadership qualities; empathy, collaboration, intuitive decision-making—are not liabilities, but your greatest competitive advantages?
Lead with Well-Being gives you the strategic framework and evidence-based tools to build thriving workplace cultures without sacrificing profitability. Drawing from real-world experience running Happy Whole You Raleigh wellness center and backed by McKinsey research, this guide shows how well-being isn't "nice to have"; it's essential for retention, engagement, and bottom-line results.
INSIDE THIS BOOK, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
• A proven 4-phase framework for integrating wellness into your leadership approach
• How to navigate gender biases while staying true to your values
• Practical tools for implementing wellness programs that actually work
• Strategies to model self-care without guilt—and inspire your team to do the same
• Real stories from leaders like Arianna Huffington who've transformed their workplaces
• Reflection prompts and action steps you can implement immediately
• Access to resources at womenofwellness.love
This isn't another book telling you to "lean in" or work harder. It's permission to lead differently—with heart, humanity, and strategic intention. You'll learn to prevent burnout (yours and your team's), boost engagement, and create cultures where people want to stay.
PERFECT FOR:
• Women entrepreneurs building mission-driven businesses
• Managers navigating toxic workplace cultures
• Leaders ready to prove well-being drives results, not hinders them
Your empathy is strategic. Your holistic thinking solves complex problems. Your care for people builds loyalty that no ping-pong table ever could.
It's time to stop apologizing for how you lead and start transforming workplaces from the inside out.
