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.

If you’re ready to stop watching from the sidelines and start leading your career with clarity, confidence, and purpose, Play the Game is your blueprint.

Play the Game has been fundamental in supporting me to make changes in my career. The simple yet thought provoking guidance has helped me initiate conversations with leadership, seek out a mentor and set goals for both short and long term. I have found that whenever I am in a situation where I’m on the fence in a work scenario, I think what would Play the Game say or suggest. I have found myself speaking up more and advocating for myself. Highly recommend to anyone who wants guidance on advancing your career.

Play the Game was such a great read. As a senior leader, I’ve seen my fair share of leadership content, but this one really hit differently. It digs into the tricky parts of leadership, navigating power dynamics, finding your voice, and building confidence in how you show up. No matter where wou sit in your career this book serves as either new lessons or great reminders. It helps reinforce the woman you are and the one you want to be

Jess breaks it all down in such a real and relatable way. The lessons are simple but powerful, and they helped me get some great clarity and reset my focus on what kind of leader I want to be and how I show up.

Highly recommend it to anyone stepping into leadership or wanting a refresh on how to lead with impact and authenticity.

Cannot recommend this book highly enough! This is the perfect sidekick for anyone wanting to push themselves in their career. I feel like other books just talk at me - Play the Game is different because it’s practical, encourages action in the moment with activities, and includes space for your own reflections and action points.

This book has pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me the tools I needed to level up my career.

What an amazing and empowering guide for women navigating the corporate world. It goes beyond surface-level advice, offering real strategies and mindset shifts that actually work. What I loved most is how it encourages you to succeed without losing yourself, to lead with your own voice, values, and confidence. It genuinely helped me trust my instincts, set boundaries, and step into my role with more clarity and strength.

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.

What is print-on-demand?

Print on demand means your workbook is printed especially for you when you place your order, rather than being mass-produced and stored in bulk. This reduces waste and supports more sustainable production. Your book will be printed, packed, and shipped directly to you within a few business days.
