The phenomenon is well established, but little known. Until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis \u003c\/i\u003eis a story of a structural inequality disguising itself as the personal failures of women. When Sophie Williams gave her viral TED Talk on the subject, she was subsequently flooded with accounts of confident, accomplished women who had taken what seemed like a dream leadership role only to quickly find themselves in a waking nightmare. Without the language to describe their experiences they had been left blaming themselves. But learning about The Glass Cliff enabled them to reframe and reexamine what they’d gone through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce we understand The Glass Cliff – once we can stand together and face it head-first – we can start to unravel so many other false narratives about women’s leadership experiences that just don’t make sense without it. By understanding the phenomenon, and by telling one another about it, we can affect the conversation, empower one another to overcome societal bias and, ultimately, change the world of work for women forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57685802647925,"sku":"9781035038763","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":56296172093813,"sku":"9781035038732","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781035038763.jpg?v=1792598995"},{"product_id":"9781800660151","title":"Map of You","description":"A thoughtfully designed and timely activity book in which to explore ideas of mindfulness and self-acceptance by emerging author-illustrator, Sophie Williams.  \"This brilliantly creative activity book inspires self-awareness, helps to navigate complex feelings and promotes positive mental wellbeing\". -- Paper Ren  The journey of self-discovery starts right here!

With hope this book can be used as a foundation to getting a child to relate, understand or send that message that getting help and support is ok. I have covered certain emotions such as anger, feeling anxious, low mood and happiness, also impacts of bullying and importance of self-care and healthy management. Touching on some thoughts, feelings and behaviors I often see in the counselling room as a result to these emotions and offering tasks for the child to engage in. I hoped giving the emotions characters would be a helpful tool when working on managing them, helping a child relate by offering a visual to help them recognize, challenge and learn how to self-manage in a healthy way. Working with children emotionally struggling I have found the use of various tools invaluable.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309675917685,"sku":"9781916500167","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916500167_50363447-6fcd-4add-a41f-17059d828923.jpg?v=1786030305"},{"product_id":"9781800660540","title":"Finding Life","description":"An eye-opening search-and-find book of life on Earth – from tiny cells to dinosaurs, mammals and everything in between!
