Focus. Courage. Purpose. These are the pillars of ELEVATE: A Guide to Clarity, Confidence & Career Alignment, the debut workbook from corporate executive, success strategist, and leadership coach Anjell Edwards.

Designed for ambitious women in the middle of career transitions or in pursuit of more purposeful professional lives, ELEVATE offers practical strategies, guided prompts, and faith-based insight to support women as they level up. Whether stepping into leadership or pivoting into a new field, Edwards’ goal is clear — to equip women with tools to find direction, build belief in themselves, and boldly embrace their next chapter.

“ ELEVATE was born out of my desire to help women move from stuck to strategic,” Edwards explained. “It is more than a workbook, it is a compass for the woman who knows that she is meant for more but needs a clear plan to get there.”

The workbook was officially launched during her inaugural ELEVATE Career Accelerator Workshop for Women on April 5 in Kingston — aone-day experience packed with immersive coaching, expert-led breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and personal branding support.

Attendees of the five-hour event were the first to access the workbook and also received curated gift bags, professional headshots, and confidence-boosting activities designed to propel their personal and professional growth.

Currently an assistant vice-president at Guardian Life Limited and a certified John Maxwell leadership coach, Edwards carefully designed the entire experience to help women clarify their goals, refine their personal brand, and lead with purpose.

“This is only the beginning,” Edwards said. “My mission is to help women lead careers that reflect their calling, not just their qualifications. ELEVATE is the starting point.”

Anjell Edwards’ three tips to help women elevate

1. Clarify the value you bring to the space and leverage it

There is something unmistakable that you bring to any space you enter – a secret sauce, a superpower, a gift. Discover what that is and maximise that innate advantage. Are you a great public speaker, a master at math or strong at networking? Identify ways to utilise your skillsets optimally and stand out from the crowd.

2. Show up with confidence

Whether in person, on paper or online, put your best foot forward. Make a stellar impression by dressing the part, curating your social media spaces with intentionality and representing your experiences effectively with your résumé for possible growth opportunities.

3. Combat limiting beliefs

Remind yourself that you are THAT girl, regardless of your past, failures or shortcomings. Actively challenge your own thoughts and beliefs that tell you that you are inadequate, undeserving or unworthy. Nurture yourself with kind words, affirmations and encouragement.
