Description
Have you ever struggled with impostor syndrome, perfectionism, fear, or burnout?
Success and fulfillment have always been the goal, but you find yourself stuck, making it impossible to move forward.
Women face unprecedented challenges in the workplace and find themselves staring up at the glass ceiling. But what if it wasn’t the glass ceiling that was holding you back . . . but rather your own “sticky floors”—those limiting beliefs and toxic behaviors that are within your control?
Erica is a sticky floor survivor. As a high-achieving ceiling breaker and C-level leader, she masked her struggles to everyone around her—even herself. From feelings of being an impostor to using wine to cope with burnout, it wasn’t until she was faced with the shocking reality that she could lose everything that she stared down her deeply held beliefs about being a “perfect” wife, mom, and executive. Ultimately, Erica was able to snap out of her sticky floors and find fulfillment, and uses her stories to help other women navigate their paths to success.

This book is focused on women who are experiencing, as the title suggests, glass ceilings and/or sticky floors in both their personal and professional lives.
It was evident that Erica Rooney did a significant amount of research for this book. While there is quite a bit of science-based information, Rooney presents the information in an accessible form to the average reader in an easy to digest manner.
There was a good mixture of science-backed research as well as real-life experiences. That mixture made the content seem more attainable and achievable for the average person.
Overall, I feel like I gained knowledge/different way of thinking that I didn’t have before, and I will be implementing Rooney’s ‘SNAP’ method into my own day-to-day life.

These are very interesting insights into behaviors at work and in personal life. I learned a lot from reading this book and would recommend it to women in business or any workplace. The inclusion of actual examples are insightful and hep demonstrate why we need to think differently.
