In a fast-changing world, there’s often a chasm between who we are, who we think we “should” be and how we show up for others. It can dim our confidence, connection and our believability.
Pam Sherman is a leadership coach, actress and recovering lawyer who helps people around the world bridge this gap. In her new book, Play You, the Role of a Lifetime, she shares her counterintuitive solution: The techniques great actors use to create genuine characters can help you to:
- explore your own unique and powerful character
- dream and share your inspiring story
- grow beyond your believability derailers — unhelpful archetypes and scripts
- excite the people you want to impact
Through humor, storytelling and psychology, Play You, the Role of a Lifetime will help readers step “onstage” with courage and conviction.
“As Erma Bombeck says, it takes a lot of courage to put your dreams out into the world. Playing her around the country over the last seven years inspired me to write this book and put my dream out in the world for you. I hope you’ll take the leap with me and use this book as a guide and workbook for the most important performance of your life: playing you,” said Sherman, who portrayed the great humorist in the one-woman play, Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End.
