If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are going to want to continue reading.Communication is a very important skill that everybody needsIt’s something that we use all of the time, yet very few of us know how to use the skill effectively. The best communicators can share stories and information with ease. They can be persuasive one minute, and then be encouraging the next. Communication skills is also something that could set you apart in the business world.We talk with each other every dayWhile that is a form of communication, it doesn’t mean that we do it well. Effective communication requires tact, skill, emotion, and the right attitude. Too often when we “talk” with each other, we forget about the little aspects of communication. We forget that our body language, tone, and more plays a big role in what message we are communicating. That’s why we’ve all had those moments where we thought we were being clear in our message, but the person we were talking to ignored us the entire time. It can be frustrating and maddening when people don’t understand what we’re saying.

    Are you a high achiever battling feelings of inadequacy? Do you feel undeserving of your accomplishments? Do you consider yourself a fraud just waiting to be found out? You’re not alone. 
    Alison Shamir was at the top of her game—corporate leadership role, large salary, financial freedom—when a crippling panic attack almost brought her to her knees. Fraud. Deceiver. Imposter. In her mind, she had faked her way into her position, and it was only a matter of time before she was “found out.” But guess what? None of it was true. 
    During her mission to understand her anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, Alison discovered Imposter Syndrome, and the pieces all fell into place. Finally, her life made sense. She wasn’t alone—and neither are you. 
    Conquer Your Imposter™ is a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. Through her personal story, eye-opening anecdotes, and practical tools and research, Alison—now a global leading expert on the Imposter Phenomenon with over a decade of experience—guides you to understand and conquer your own unfounded fear, doubt, and anxious feelings of not being “good enough.” 
    Don’t let your inner imposter hold you back anymore. It’s time to take back control and unleash the most authentic, empowered, and unapologetically confident version of you.

    Corporate America brings with it many advantages that make it an attractive career path. Six-figure salaries, generous health benefits, and a path to retirement, if you’re fortunate enough to go the distance. But building a lasting and rewarding career in corporate America is difficult no matter what your racial or gender background happens to be. From navigating office politics to dealing with difficult bosses and co-workers, while managing the anxiety-inducing realities of layoffs and reorgs—all while working to secure your financial future—corporate life is not for the faint of heart. 
      
    While there are over 20 million books sold yearly on how to manage corporate life, Company Men: A Wellness Guide for Black Men in Corporate America is one of the few to speak directly to Black professional men in addressing the unique challenges they face in maintaining their well-being across various spectrums (mental, physical, social, and financial). Company Men offers the help and tools Black men need to extract the benefits of working in corporate America while minimizing the physical and psychological effects of the challenges that come from being a person of color in these spaces.  
      
    This is why Company Men is such a critical read for Black men who want to succeed in corporate America, especially those with C-suite ambitions. Its focus isn’t just about how to make the most money or land the biggest job. Company Men is about equipping Black men with insights to help them achieve physical, mental, and professional wellness while working in the pressurized world of corporate America during what should be our peak earning years.
