Everyone recognises a woman who “owns it.” She stands out for her ability to command attention and influence others. She’s captivating and magnetic.

But how does she do it?

Building on Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, Own It teaches you how to claim your place at the table and ensure your voice is heard.

Using her POWER and OWN IT models, Tricia Karp shows you how to master the art of creating powerful presentations for public speaking, ask for what you want, and redefine what women’s leadership means for you, on your own terms.

This book is an inspiring call to action to shift past what’s held you back, so you can deliver the type of public speaking that makes you memorable for all the right reasons. You’ll learn how to navigate negotiating conversations too so you can ask for what you want with confidence and strength.

As Sheryl Sandberg encouraged women to Lean In and pursue their goals with gusto, Own It gives you a clear road map and shows you how.

Own It is a must-have book for those committed to developing their own, and other women’s power and leadership.

What an inspiring book!

Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2014

I had the opportunity to read the book because a friend had downloaded it. I was so impressed with the content and the natural way that Tricia Karp writes that I decided to get my own copy. Chapter Two really resonates with me, as it's called "Stop Being Nice" and the quote by Gloria Feldt "Power unused is power useless" was just the hook I needed to get me reading not only that chapter but the rest of the book. I like the way Tricia tells it 'straight' and from her own experience and encourages and inspires women, me included, to own our power, become more confident not only in public speaking but with life. I can recommend this book to any woman who wants or needs to become more empowered.

We all have a story

Tricia has a wonderful knack for helping women discover the courage we all possess to share our stories. Everyone has a story; this book can help you to let go of the fear to share yours. I was part of Tricia's second Powerful Speaking Intensive Workshop and cannot speak highly enough of the catharsis that occurred over the three days. I've since used the skills I learned to speak at an industry event - and was delighted to discover that I could weave facts and statistics into true life stories that were interesting and inspired action. I encourage you to read Own It and to share the powerful message you hold within with others

If you're 'a nice girl' that never gets what she wants in the workplace, then it's time to read this book...

Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2014

Did you know that as a woman you might be missing out on $1 million dollars of income over the space of a career by not asking for what you want? What's more, that the gender pay gap divide (in Australia) is greater now that it was 20 years ago! I certainly didn't!

In this concise and powerful book, Tricia lays out the implications of staying true to the 'nice girl' role and how it stops you from getting what you truly deserve: Recognition and respect.

Not stopping there, Tricia tells us of her own personal difficulties in this area early in her career and and gives actionable steps to take charge of our career trajectories and 'own' our personal power.

I highly recommend this to any woman that wants the 'know-how' to negotiate that pay-raise, give effective presentations and feel empowered in the workplace.

The missing piece of the puzzle

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2014

Verified Purchase

After trying unsuccessfully to create a personal “brand” for myself online, I sat back and lost faith in myself for a while. This book popped up just as I am starting again and brought me what I most need to remember – that our voices are only strong when we stand in our own truth and speak from what we know. It’s all too easy to try and be what we think we should be, to be “nice” and “good” and repeat the words of others. But as Tricia illustrates with great examples and powerful personal experience, when we give ourselves permission to step into our power, things change for the better. In addition to the inspiration, this book furnishes you with the tools to make your next move. The step-by-step guides to public speaking and negotiation are not to be missed!

This is about so much more than public speaking....

Reviewed in the United States on 9 April 2014

Verified Purchase

It addresses so many of the things that hold women back from standing in their own power. It explores how being socialized to be “good & nice” can keep women from speaking up and asking for what we want in their personal lives and careers. I saw myself on so many of the pages especially apologizing unnecessarily, accepting compliments, and difficulty with self-promotion. As I read, I madly scribbled notes, and the more I read and examined my life, the more I began to realize what was stopping me from stepping into my own power. After reading this book, I’m actually looking forward to “owning it.”

Who am I not to?

Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2014

Verified Purchase

In the very beginning of this book, Karp takes us from the ambivalent inner question: "Who am i?" and turns it around to "Who am I not to?" Who are we to turn our backs on what we have to offer - and not own it proudly? Tricia Karp owns it in this book about not just understanding your power, but showing up in your power. There were several points in the book that I found myself using the exercises and taking notes on ways I could show up more powerfully.

Every Woman Needs to Read this Book!

Reviewed in the United States on 9 April 2014

This book is great for public speakers, but it is more than that. It is a textbook for women who need to become more assertive, stand up and let themselves be heard. It spoke directly to me. I have been guilty of being too nice and hiding my talents because I feared they weren't good enough. It is definitely time women stepped up and owned their power. This book will motivate you and show you how.

Smart, empowering read!

Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2014

Verified Purchase

I really loved this this short, smart, high-energy read. How often do we (both women AND men) shy away from fully owning our real power and worth? Karp offers both a challenge and solution in Own It. The challenge: to be who we are meant to be. The solution: smart, practical approaches to bring our best selves to every part of our day. I particularly like her P.O.W.E.R approach to giving presentations - a framework I am going to start to apply in my own public speaking.
