Five books I'd hand every woman leaving corporate.

These aren't career books. They're for what actually happens when you leave. The part where you sit in front of a blank LinkedIn bio and realise you've never had to describe yourself without a job title doing it first.

  1. Working Identity by Herminia Ibarra. Change happens through action, not introspection. The best argument against waiting until you "know what you want."

  2. Life Is in the Transitions by Bruce Feiler. Big life disruptions are a feature, not a flaw. Puts the scale of what you're going through in proper context.

  3. Career Comedown by Stefanie Sword-Williams. Names the underwhelm that hits after years of climbing. If you've been wondering "is this really it?", start here.

  4. Range by David Epstein. The intellectual case for why your breadth is an asset, not a liability. Everything your performance review told you was wrong.

  5. Conscious Luck by Gay Hendricks & Carol Kline. Your beliefs create your ceiling. Diagnostic with a splash of woo.
