Woman, Act Now! Learn, Launch, and Live Your Dream

Anna McCoy, . . Whitaker, $19.99 (302pp) ISBN 978-1-60374-068-5

McCoy, chief encouragement officer of Act Now Inc., a personal development organization, and founder of Woman Act Now, has dedicated herself to coaching women to achieve their highest potential in the workplace in particular and in life in general. McCoy’s can-do spiritedness has earned her recognition nationally in both evangelical and secular circles. Readers will appreciate the author’s enthusiastic approach to taking personal responsibility for making things happen in one’s life not through merely lightweight, cheerleading-type slogans, but through execution of practical plans for success. McCoy tells readers to dream and believe, and then create the “brand you brand.” By that, she means creating a personal statement about oneself—a “brand”—which covers every area of life including reputation, identity, talent, attitude, power, thinking, relationships and looks. Offering timely, business-savvy advice throughout, McCoy’s message of inspiration will reach beyond the borders of her religious fan base and find its place among secular professionals as well. (Jan.)
