BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Brave Healer Productions announces the release of the second volume of its best-selling We Lead: Building Connection, Community and Collaboration for Women in Business series that debuted last year. The latest book is filled with exceptional advice from expert members of the Leading Ladies network, which was created by lead author AliceAnne Loftus in 2016 to help women see the power of connection, collaboration, and community.

Loftus writes, "After our first book was published in 2023, we decided to write another together. However, this time, we included a few other Leading Ladies that we've come to know and trust. Through all our shared stories, we're learning and growing even deeper together. I believe leaders are learners, and through our shared experiences, we're learning from one another, recognizing that we're truly not alone, and breaking down narratives that keep women in business from reaching their full potential and feeling successful."

Vol. 2 contributors touch on such themes as building an online following; giving and receiving feedback; the motherhood advantage in business leadership; tips for starting a new career in mid-life; and a plan for thriving in all areas of life. The book contains chapters written by Valerie E. Anias, Julie Blamphin, Jenn Bonk, Trish Brewer, Michelle Briggs, Julie Campbell, Aubrey Edwards, Tina Hamilton, Sophia Hardesty, Erin Harrigan, Elizabeth Harris, Jen Howat, Ellen Lunay, Gala McCray, Karen Morris, Andrea Neville, Jennifer Osterhouse, Dr. Sara Poldmae, Chrissy Rey, Heidi Schmidt, Maura Dowd Sniegoski, Samantha Straub, Lisa M. Van Wormer, and Megan Vaughan.
