What If... I Just Closed the Box on Gender Equality?

As I sit here, my fingers tracing the cover of my latest creation, 'Beyond Gender: The New Rules of Leadership,' a surprising revelation strikes me: it's undeniably my 'boring book.'

But amidst this boredom lies a profound sense of achievement. In these pages lies a year of unfiltered venting, a canvas where I painted my frustrations and insights on gender stereotypes in leadership. This book was my arena, where I challenged the norms and dared to speak my truth.
