BEST PRACTICES FOR A WOMAN OF EXCELLENCE

A Complete Handbook from Proverbs 31

2nd Edition


Welcome to the second edition of Best Practices for a Woman of Excellence. Unlike the first edition, the second edition includes bible verses that relate with each Best Practice; as well as self-reflection questions that can be used for Group discussions in Bible Studies and other such gatherings. While the first edition had 40 Best Practices, this edition includes ‘Communicating Effectively’, making a total of 41 Best Practices. Excellence is the backbone of the book, which refers to going an extra mile to provide services that go beyond what stakeholders expect. Given a woman’s multidimensional roles, this book will equip her with best practices that are easy to implement so that she is empowered to excel all round. Joy uses Proverbs 31 to present 41 best practices that a woman can practically apply in her home, office, business and the community. This handbook is a ‘must have’ for women of all age groups.
