“…a quick and engaging read that brings together principles and qualities that when combined, make for a balanced and more effective leader.”
“Framing the leadership concepts through Austen heroines felt organic and made the book a really engaging read.”
“Kicking Ass in a Corset is a leadership guide that stands out from the crowd with a focus that uses the women of Jane Austen’s most popular novels as examples of its power principles.”
Linda Hitchcock reviewed Andrea Kayne’s Kicking Ass in a Corset for BookTrib.
“Andrea Kayne has successfully connected the two distinct worlds of literature and business into a kickass leadership analysis specifically for the internally referenced leader… Reading just a couple of pages from this book every day will empower your emotional intelligence.”
“Kayne is enriching lives through literature and encouraging women leaders to take power over their own lives and careers. During the course of a stress-filled day, women can pause and ask, “What would Jane Austen’s heroines do or say?” and find the answer within themselves.”
“Kicking Ass in a Corset is a great book for both Austen lovers and those looking for ways to empower themselves in both life and the business world. This was the most entertaining business leadership book I’ve read.”
“What could be a cute but silly concept in other hands achieves genuine depth and impact here thanks to Kayne’s expertise in gender and leadership issues as well as her understanding of Austen’s emotional and social landscapes.”
“It was quite fun revisiting each heroine and imagining her in the workplace today.”
“Andrea Kayne’s Kicking Ass in a Corset maps out effective leadership that teaches readers how to tune out the external noise so that they can truly live and lead from the inside out.”
