Transformational Women Highlights Shaunti Feldhahn, Best-Selling Author
/
RSS Feed
Shaunti Feldhahn is a groundbreaking social researcher, consultant on women’s leadership issues, best-selling author, and speaker. A former Wall Street analyst, with a master’s from Harvard, Shaunti took the path less taken and now applies her analytical skills to the startling research of what men and women each privately think in the workplace and at home; perceptions that we rarely hear but that affect each of us every day whether we realize it or not.
This information is game-changing for women in business, as seen in Shaunti’s latest book The Male Factor: The Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace. Based on nearly 10 years of interviews and surveys with more than 3,000 men, Shaunti uncovers what high-potential women need to know about the secret, unfiltered thoughts and expectations of their male bosses, colleagues and customers – high-leverage information that allows women to be far more influential and effective in accomplishing every one of their own goals in the workplace.
Shaunti’s findings are equally eye-opening in personal relationships; her books, such as For Women Only: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men, have sold 2 million copies in 20 languages. Currently consulting and speaking globally for women leadership audiences, Shaunti has appeared on media outlets as diverse as The Today Show, CNN, Fox, PBS, Soap Talk, Focus on the Family and Family Life Today.
Shaunti’s tips for being a transformational leader:
Know yourself. If you don’t truly understand your strengths and weaknesses, you cannot play to your strengths, and you certainly will not compensate for your weaknesses. But if you know who you are, and what you can do, and rigorously focus on that, while turning down seductive opportunities at which you will not shine, you’ll not only be great at what you do, but you’ll be very fulfilled! And a positive, fulfilled leader is a transformational leader.
Know and manage how you are perceived . One of the great missing pieces of the puzzle for many potentially great leaders is not recognizing how they are perceived. The most important issue is not just that you have excellent leadership gifts, and a lot to offer. Rather, the most important issue is whether others see you that way! You can only be a leader if others see you as someone to follow. And so you need to know how you are perceived and take charge of that perception.
Know your audience. But you can only do that if you know your audience. If you do not understand the inner, private thoughts, expectations and perceptions of those you are speaking to, you can never manage how you yourself are perceived. You won’t recognize a misperception and be able to head it off, and you also will miss great signals that tell you that you have an opportunity here on which you can capitalize. But once you are skilled at reading your audience – at getting inside their heads, at understanding their private expectations, you can speak to those expectations and position yourself as the person who always “gets it” in their eyes. The person who “gets it”, who reads others like a book, who is able to articulate back to them what they most desire, is a person who others will follow.

Gwen Massey was born and raised in Tyler, Texas. After completing her BSN at the University of Texas at Tyler, Gwen worked as nurse across many different disciplines. After experiencing the benefits of home health and hospice care firsthand with her grandmother, Gwen became a hospice nurse. After a number of years in hospice nursing, Gwen felt the tug of entrepreneurship, wanting to provide a unique service, filling a need she observed in the senior community. The result was the genesis of Senior Care Finder and Consultants two years ago. Recognizing that finding the proper services can be a challenge for seniors and their families, Gwen stepped in to fill this need.
With over 30 years of experience as an RN, Gwen assists seniors and their families identify their needs, helping them find the proper care and services to fit those needs. Gwen can be reached by phone at 214-546-1935 or by email at info@theseniorcarefinder.com. You can also visit their website at www.theseniorcarefinder.com.
Born, raised and educated in south central Louisiana, Janice Simien has spent a good bit of her career helping seniors as they transition from their own homes to independent and assisted living communities. She started this work as the result of a friend that invited her to investigate a career helping seniors. Today Jan is the Community Relations Director for Emeritus at Sandy Springs Place, a memory care community in Sandy Springs. Emeritus at Sandy Springs Place is a 52 room community with four wings that provide care for residents in each of the three stages of dementia. Jan tells us that she loves her job because she recognizes that families are delegating a very important role when they trust Emeritus with the care of their loved one.
To arrange a tour of the Emeritus campus, please call Jan at 770-650-8800. The community is located at 1262 Hightower Trail in Sandy Springs. You can also check them out on the web here.

Today’s guests present their unique perspectives on the power of writing. Dr. Tim Langley, a chiropractor in Marietta, GA, blogs to share stories of success, improvement and re-establishment of health within his clients. Dr. Tim’s writing style generates an image of the “old, family doctor” who always had time to talk with each patient. Tim’s blog promotes his chiropractic practice but occasionally he draws upon his years in banking and real estate to share his views on the economy. Charles Forlidas is a Member of the law firm of Miller & Martin PLLC in their Atlanta office. Charles concentrates his practice in the areas of trademarks, patents, copyrights, and intellectual property. Business leaders and entrepreneurs know the importance of having legal counsel for their business endeavors. Writers need to follow suit and have an intellectual property attorney in their “corner” for two reasons: 1) protect their writing and 2) make sure they don’t misuse the writings of others. Mr. Forlidas will share pertinent legal points writers should know.
