Trying to be confident in today's world is tough. Brutal, actually.
When was the last time you got on social media and thought,
"Man, that really helped me feel better about myself?"
Give me a break!

Sound familiar?
Then hop in; we're going for a ride.

OK, so you've got some confidence issues. Of course you do! Who doesn't these days? In a world where women are constantly bombarded by unrealistic beauty standards, "Sunday best" glimpses into the lives of others via social media, and TEDx talks on how to give perfect TEDx talks, where does an Average Jane fit in?

Meet Alex Perry: successful entrepreneur; speech language pathologist; TEDx speaker; and one proud, minivan-driving mom from the Midwest. Having started her business from the ground up and navigated around road blocks, potholes, and traffic jams, she understands what it's like to struggle with confidence, especially when it feels like the road ahead is always bumpy. Through her honest and delightfully-awkward personal anecdotes, Alex encourages women to apply the brakes when confronted with confidence dead ends--pointless comparisons, insincerity, and stubborn independence, oh my!--and instead steer toward authenticity, support, and determination. Her witty, insightful, and caring guide will empower you to cruise through life's twists and turns with more joy, more peace, and the kind of success that is only found through true confidence.

Now grab yourself a cold drink, climb in, and hold on tight*; it's time for your crash course.

(*Seriously ... hold on tight, bring some extra Cheetos, and please don't make Alex parallel park.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Not JUST for women!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

"Minivan Mogul - A crash course in confidence for women" is also a crash course in confidence for men. Author Alex Perry uses the concept of Road Rules to guide the reader through life's speedbumps. Her humor and conversational style makes this book very relatable and easy to read.

Each chapter is filled with stories that drive home the point of the lessons we all need to learn. At the end of each chapter is the section she calls Rearview Reflections. Perry provides some thought-provoking questions for the reader to ponder. Being a fan of journaling, I used the questions to guide my journal writing as I completed each chapter.

The Road Rule that stood out the most for me was "It's OK to Stop and Ask for Directions". This serves as a reminder to leaders everywhere, no matter how confident we are, we HAVE to know when to stop and ask others for directions, for assistance, and for guidance.

This book is a great read. I highly recommend it for any leader or aspiring leader!

To my professional female friends, has there ever been a day when your confidence wained? Have you felt that imposter syndrome? Have you ever talked yourself OUT of applying for a job? (I can say yes to all those things so this isn't totally a gender thing). If you have faced any of these challenges, you need to pick up Alex Perry's new book Minivan Mogul: A Crash Course in Confidence for Women.

This IS NOT one of those "5 steps being confidence" how-to books. This is a conversation between you and Alex. She shares her challenges, she challenges you with questions and ultimately she encourages you to pull out the confidence that you all have in you.

My favorite line in the whole book comes from Alex's daughter Carmen: "Being anything other than confident seems like a lot of work."

Read this book and cut out that extra work.

I’ve met Alex a few times and all through the book, I felt like she was talking to ME. So much honesty, vulnerability, fun, and roller-coaster of emotions, all while being REAL! Alex does a fantastic job in building confidence or simply just reminding YOU that YOU are enough... not just through theory but via tangible next steps. M so glad I got a copy because am gonna read it over and over again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to Build Confidence? A Must Read For Women & Men Alike!
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020
Alex’s debut book takes the reader on a fun journey to build confidence in oneself. The author’s ‘road rules’ are not limited to women, but men also (that would be me). There are crafty infusions of relatable experiences, studies, and quotes that will make the reader feel empowered. It basically points out why we lose confidence and what we can do to choose confidence.

This book is the only drive you will make in which you will have a fun conversation with your author as a passenger, while eating a bag of Cheetos and drinking a nice Cabernet because you can do this in the comfort of your own home. By the way, to do that you need a copy of this book, so ‘CLICK’ and buy to ACCEPT this challenge!

P.S. Will we get a book about a van ride with Jen and Alex? Sorry Ivan...even Google doesn’t know the answer to that question.

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020
I saw this amazing woman speak at a local conference 18 months ago and knew I had to get her book! I waited excitedly for it for weeks and was not disappointed once I dove in. Alex is SO real with you! The book has wonderful insight and is also fun. I could literally feel her pain but also share in her triumphsI I consider myself to be fairly confident but now I have new tools to take that to an entirely new level. You will thoroughly enjoy this book.
