The Movement Beyond the Book

Women Redefining Leadership With S.P.I.C.E. is more than a book—it’s the launch of a movement: One that shifts the leadership narrative from conformity to individuality, from competition to collaboration, and from tradition to transformation.

Real Stories, Real Women, Real Impact

Women Redefining Leadership With S.P.I.C.E. is not just another leadership book to sit on the shelf. Led by Shayla N. Atkins, a former Fortune 500 executive turned visionary CEO, this anthology offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the lived experiences of 13 trailblazing women who refused to conform to outdated norms and redefined what leadership looked like in their own terms.

Each chapter offers a powerful blend of resilience, strategy, innovation, insights, and authenticity. These accomplished women—CEOs, executives, corporate leaders, and thought disruptors—share raw and unfiltered stories of their journeys, from breaking glass ceilings to navigating biases and outdated norms.

Packed with hard-won wisdom and actionable leadership & career strategies, their insights will help you find your voice, embrace your individuality, lead with impact, and deliver results with your well-being intact..

With an inspiring foreword by DeRetta Rhodes, Chief People and Culture Officer for the Atlanta Braves, this book sets a bold new standard for leadership in the modern era. It shifts the narrative from conformity to authenticity and from competition to community, prioritizing strategy, wellness, and individuality over outdated, one-size-fits-all approaches. These stories aren’t just inspiring—they’re a call to action and guide equipping women to step into their power, own their journeys, and lead on their terms.

Tomorrow’s world doesn’t need leaders who fit a mold—it needs leaders who break it.

Women Redefining Leadership With S.P.I.C.E. is a call to action and catalyst for change.

It’s a bold new vision for leadership rooted in strategy, authenticity, wellness, purpose, and transformation.

Why We Need to Redefine Leadership

The world is evolving rapidly, but leadership philosophies haven’t kept pace. The same outdated standards, exclusionary systems, and rigid philosophies that have existed for decades continue to stifle progress, innovation, and transformation. 

For nearly a century, leadership and career advancement standards have upheld a narrow definition of what leadership looks, leads, and sounds like—loud, commanding, extroverted, conforming, results driven only, and performative. But the realities of today’s workplaces and the complexities of a global, diverse workforce demands something more.

We need a variety of leadership styles and identities grounded in purpose, emotional intelligence, strategy, empathy, and individuality. 

Redefining leadership means moving beyond outdated ideals and embracing a broader, more inclusive standard. It’s about recognizing that leadership isn’t just about being seen or heard—it’s about creating authentic relationships and meaningful impact. It’s about balancing performance with people, authenticity with influence, and boldness with humility.

S.P.I.C.E. Is Redefining Leadership & Career Advancement

The S.P.I.C.E. framework reimagines and amplifies the renowned PIE model (Performance, Image, and Exposure), recognizing that while PIE is just the beginning, it is not the full equation. S.P.I.C.E. integrates the depth, nuance, and adaptability required to excel in today’s dynamic, multifaceted environments—particularly for women leaders.

Career advancement demands more than exceptional performance.

It requires a comprehensive approach that aligns strategic business savvy, personal branding, authentic communication, and intentional relationship-building. S.P.I.C.E. doesn’t just complement the PIE model—it redefines it for modern leadership identities.

At its heart, Women Redefining Leadership With S.P.I.C.E. is a roadmap for women who refuse to conform to outdated leadership paradigms. It empowers you to lead with S.P.I.C.E.:

  • Savvy: Master business acumen to amplify your expertise and talents with leverage.

  • Performance: Intentionally deliver results that matter without sacrificing your well-being.

  • Image: Build an authentic personal brand that commands trust, credibility, and respect.

  • Communication: Advocate for yourself and others with clarity, confidence, and impact.

  • Exposure: Cultivate relationships and visibility that amplify your influence and propel your career.

A Book That Grows With You

Whether you’re ascending to the C-Suite, mentoring future leaders, navigating workplace challenges, or building your leadership identity, this book is your guide to thriving in leadership while staying true to yourself. This book meets you where you are—and grows with you.

This book is for:

  • Ambitious women leaders ready to shatter barriers, embrace authenticity, and lead on their own terms.
