‘As ironic as it might seem, retiring from professional sport was the first time I had to learn how to run my own race. I had to learn to set my own agenda, to self-edit, self-praise and be my own coach. Was it uncomfortable? Of course! Did I make mistakes? Absolutely! Did I question the things I had sacrificed to get there? 100%. I chose to unlock my adaptability and with this book, I will show you how to do the same.’

One in four UK women workers say they’re currently unable to manage the levels of pressure and stress they’re experiencing, 81 per cent of women have felt so stressed at some point over the last year they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope, compared to 67% of men, and according to Forbes; 60% of women who juggle work and caregiving responsibilities are now providing more care than before the pandemic. These stresses and demands are something that Denise is all too familiar with; as an athlete, a broadcaster, woman, and a mother, her life, like that of all women, is one of constant adaptation.

Now, Denise wants to help women unlock the power of adaptability. She wants to show you how to be your own life-coach and how to meet the demands of the different roles we take on in life. With her guidance and utilising the seven lessons she has taken from her time on and off the track, she hopes women can reach their full potential, develop tools to pick themselves up and own their multifaceted identities at work and beyond. We can’t have it all, but we can get close by consciously cultivating the different skillsets that will serve us in the different spheres of our lives.
