Harness the power of adaptability to embrace change, overcome obstacles and achieve success.

Women are facing more pressure and stress than ever

before. Between work, childcare, caregiving responsibilities, maintaining

relationships and looking after finances, many are struggling to manage the

demands placed on them, with a significant number feeling overwhelmed and

unable to cope at times. These challenges are something that Denise Lewis

understands well; as an athlete, broadcaster, woman, and mother, her life,

like that of many women, is one of constant adaptation.

Now, Denise is determined to help women harness the power of adaptability.

She aims to teach you how to become your own life coach and navigate the

many roles we take on throughout life. In Adaptability, she will

guide you through seven key lessons learned from her experiences both on

and off the track, including maintaining your identity, building

resilience, seeking support, trusting your instincts, and more. By applying

these principles, women from all backgrounds can unlock their full

potential, develop the tools to overcome challenges, and embrace their

multifaceted identities both at work and beyond.

While we may not be able to have it all, we can come

close by consciously cultivating the skills needed to thrive in every area

of our lives.
