This is the unapologetic career playbook ambitious women have been waiting for, packed with real talk, smart strategies, and zero fluff. If you're tired of playing small, staying stuck, or watching less-qualified people climb faster, this is your next move.
Inside, you’ll find the exact tools, prompts, and frameworks to build real, lasting success, without sacrificing your wellbeing or your soul at the altar of "hustle culture."
Here’s what you’ll be able to do after reading:
- Advocate for your career and get noticed without feeling fake, pushy, or exhausted
- Build unshakeable confidence, visibility, and leadership presence (even if you secretly feel like an impostor)
- Set strong boundaries, master work-life alignment, and avoid the burnout trap
- Navigate tricky power dynamics and high-stakes conversations with influence and impact
- Reflect, reset, and realign any time you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for your next level
Written by Jessica Lindfield, corporate strategist, career development expert, and founder of Embrace Her, this playbook isn’t about surviving in corporate, it’s about thriving on your own terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this workbook for?
Play the Game is designed for women in the early to mid stages of their corporate careers, whether you're just getting started, navigating your first promotion, or stepping into a new leadership role. If you're figuring out how to grow, get seen, and progress without burning out, this is for you.
If you’re already in a senior or executive position, you may find you've outgrown some of the foundational lessons, but it’s a powerful guide if you’re still building towards that next level, or looking to gift your teams.
Do I need to complete the lessons in order?
Not at all. This isn’t a course. It’s a practical, dip-in-and-out workbook. Each lesson stands alone, so you can start with whatever feels most relevant to you right now.
How long does it take to complete?
It’s designed for busy women. Each lesson can be completed in around 30 minutes, and includes tangible actions you can implement straight away. Whether you work through one per week or binge it in a weekend, it fits around your schedule.
Is this just mindset advice, or is it practical too?
It’s packed with both. Play the Game blends mindset shifts with real-world strategies, from navigating feedback and stakeholder dynamics to setting boundaries and building your internal brand. Every chapter ends with actionable steps.
What format is Play The Game?
The workbook is available in high-quality print format, shipped straight to your door. It’s designed to be scribbled in, highlighted, and revisited as you grow in your career. A digital version isn’t currently available.
I'm not in leadership yet, will this still help me?
Yes. Play the Game is ideal for women in the early to mid stages of their career, including those stepping into their first leadership role or managing stakeholders for the first time.
