FEATURED IN THE ELIZABETH GILBERT ONWARD BOOK CLUB



Glennon Doyle's Untamed meets Brene Brown's leadership lessons in this essential guide for women, with hugely important discussions of race and privilege woven in.


Kemi Nekvapil knows the feelings of fear, vulnerability and powerlessness. Growing up in foster care, many times she had the doors to validation and opportunity closed to her because of her race and gender. Learning to make her own choices and use her voice without apology were her first steps towards a bold, purpose-filled life.

'This book is beautiful, it's thoughtful, it's instructive.' Elizabeth Gilbert


Now a highly respected executive and personal coach, Kemi has created a five-step framework to guide other women to build their power through-

Presence to understand what is and isn't working in our lives
Ownership of our personal narratives, especially our power stories
Wisdom about our needs, boundaries and growth
Equality as part of the diverse human family, all of us worthy
Responsibility for our choices, healing and happiness

Blending inspiring stories with reflective coaching practices, POWER provides the tools to navigate the challenges that impact who we are and how we lead, from discrimination and burnout to trauma and self-doubt.

Reclaim your power and create a life of true joy and fulfilment.

_______________________________________________________________________

'Kemi's work changed my life and the content in this book will change yours too. If you are committed to personal development on your own terms, you want Kemi walking alongside you for the journey.' Taryn Brumfitt, founder of The Body Image Movement

'To me, Kemi has always epitomised grace and calmness - a quiet strength and assuredness that you can't help but feel more centred around. POWER is a reflection of this strength and assuredness and it's my hope that we can all learn from this incredible guide and live and lead just a little bit more like Kemi!' Emma Isaacs, founder of Business Chicks

'Kemi Nekvapil is passionate, fearless and she espouses living a powerful life. As a coach and speaker, Kemi actively seeks to assist women find ways to live their best lives. As an author, she has pulled together her experiences and knowledge to make it possible for YOU too!' Dr Anita Heiss

We are in this world that some people would tell us women that we are not worthy, especially when you are a woman with colour (I believe the world is changing though!!). I came across this book in a bookstore and loved it at the first sight. It is absolutely beautiful and Kemi has given us some strategies to deliver POWER in our daily lives. Absolutely worth to read and hope we are living and leading without apology.

Reviewed in Australia on 23 October 2022

Kemi Nekvapil's book is beautifully clear and easy to read, practical and inspiring. I think the use of short reflections from women she has coached to illustrate the POWER principles is very effective. For me, the book felt full of truth. As leaders, we need to get out of our own way before we can enable others. This requires understanding the stories we tell ourselves that limit our agency. I also liked her use of returning definitions of some words (such as 'intelligence' versus academic) to see what unhelpful tapes we may play about who we are and what we are good at.

Loved Power by Kemi Nekvapil! I found myself at times putting the book down to reflect on what I'd just read and at other times crying (happy tears) on the beautiful stories of female empowerment.
I didn't really know what to expect going into Power. A friend had lent it to me, and it honestly took me 12 months to pull it off my shelf and start - I now wish I'd started sooner!

If you're someone who is looking to reclaim their power, regardless of race, gender or religion - this book is for you. You won't be disappointed you picked it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bold guide for living an honest and courageous life!

Power is an incredible guide to living and leading in an honest, unapologetic way. The words are concise and to the point, bringing in stories of Kemi's clients as well as her on-the-mark insight about the ways we can live more purposeful, powerful lives. As a gay woman, parts of this book helped me realize ways to show up fully and allow myself to be seen fully (and unapologetically!). This is a guide and a touchpoint I will keep with me throughout life.

Kemi spoke at a writer's conference I attended this weekend online and was a DYNAMIC speaker!! I just ordered her book and cannot wait to read it. She has a POWERFUL message she's "gifting" to the world. She is an AMAZING WOMAN who persevered to overcome a childhood of foster care and "hiding" in safe places to become the powerful executive coach and international speaker that she is today. Her presence and writing are EXPLOSIVE.

This is a must read. I just saw Kemi Nekvapil speak at a writer’s retreat (I am attending virtually), and I wanted to transport myself through the computer screen to the stage to give her a huge hug. Hearing her speak and read from her new transformational book made me go and immediately purchase POWER & download to my new Kindle Scribe. I cannot wait to devour each word.
