WIN WHEN THEY SAY YOU WON’T
Break Through Barriers and Keep Leveling Up Your Success
Daphne E. Jones was told by her career counselor that Black girls don’t successfully make it in college, but should instead go to secretary school. She followed his advice, but today she’s a corporate board member who has held CIO and other leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies including IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Hospira (now Pfizer) and General Electric. She defied everyone’s expectations and went from the bottom to the top of the white male dominated field of STEM. What changed her prospects was adopting a mindset she recommends to everyone: believe you can win, when they say you won’t.
Drawn from her own rags to riches story, WIN WHEN THEY SAY YOU WON’T: Break Through Barriers and Keep Leveling Up Your Success is her inspiring guide to help anyone achieve the career of their dreams with a winning mindset and proven playbook.

"'Yes I Can!' are the words that came to me as I read the book “Win When They Say You Won’t” by Daphne E. Jones. Daphne’s book is a story of triumph and adversity which serves as an inspiration to never give up on your dreams despite being told that they are not possible. Chronicling her personal and professional journey, the book is a tangible reminder of what can be achieved through sheer grit, tenacity, and determination. The personal accounts and the stories of other women makes the book relatable. However, the absolute value is highlighted by her desire to assist others in achieving their dreams through the creation of her 4 step EDIT strategy which guides the reader through the transformation of their mindset to one of optimism and possibilities."

“I have read many books directly, and I have been exposed to many others indirectly by a plethora of quotes. However, the expression of multiple aspects of Daphne’s encounters outstrips the other works of this literary type. What we have in this work is personal development, professional aspiration and achievement, friends, and family relationships. We have a smorgasbord of her philosophies, ideas, incites and sagacious directives which is a recipe for any readers’ success. I somehow hear Daphne saying, 'if you take my advice, you will never envy my achievements.' This is a great read.”
