The world needs women leaders perhaps more than ever before.
Harpreet Ghumman is on an unapologetic mission to create a better world by including women in all places where decisions, strategies, and policies are being made -- because she understands that when women lead, inclusivity follows.
​
In Harpreet’s signature warm and thoughtful style, Living and Loving Unapologetically provides practical tools and strategies to help women find internal alignment, overcome barriers, and create the “fairytale” life and leadership roles they truly desire, contributing to a more inclusive and progressive society.
“My goal with this book is to help women rediscover themselves and their buried dreams, and step into leadership roles where they can drive positive change. When women are empowered and aligned with themselves, they can play a crucial role in addressing critical issues like sustainable development and building a better future for all.”
-Harpreet Ghumman
