Book - Own Your Color

A Message of Self-Acceptance and Empowerment

“Own Your Color” is the story of author Shikha Bajaj and all women finding success while staying true to themselves. Color, in the context of this book, means embracing the “whole you” – your

strengths, values, beliefs, and imperfections.

It teaches women to start owning their uniqueness. It helps them discover the power of being authentic and gives them courage to dream big and take massive action to design their best life possible. Through Shikha’s personal experience as well as those of other women who overcome self-doubt and challenges, she inspires women to dream big and have the courage to make it happen.

If Shikha Bajaj tells you to “Own Your Color”, it’s time you do so! In “Own Your Color”, she gives confidence and courage to women of color to stand out rather than trying to fit in. In sharing her joys, pitfalls, self-doubts, and successes, she reminds us about the importance of choosing happiness every day.

I have worked directly with Shikha for years and seen her passion for mentorship create real change in our approach to developing women leaders at Publicis Sapient. “Own Your Color” combines the powerful concepts of self-awareness, core values, and the M.E.N.T.O.R. framework into an actionable program that inspires success through hard work.

I have known Shikha for a few years, and the warmth she brings, and her vibrant personality are very well reflected in her book “Own Your Color”. Her ‘Know, Embrace, and Spread’ pillars for success are pivotal for the growth of an individual; it not only preaches but also allows one to practice the wonderful action plan to pave the way for success. Sprinkled with her personal experiences, this book feels like a friend being a torchbearer for your success, paving the way for you to move forward. This book isn’t just about absorbing information, but it’s a guide that will inspire and activate transformative change in your life.

“Own Your Color” is a book that inspires you to accept yourself for who you are, and where you come from and embrace yourself fully so that you can share your strengths and gifts with others to make the world a better place. It encourages women to support each other and rise together.

Amy Betty, EVP, Client Experience, Horizontal Digital

I cannot think of a better person to write a book about using the tools of self-reflection, gratitude and mentorship than Shikha Bajaj! I had the pleasure of participating in a leadership program with Shikha where I saw her leverage the tools of personal transformation and then quickly turn her learnings into a successful mentorship program for Publicis Sapient, where we worked together. Shikha’s joy for sharing her secrets of success with others has been inspirational to me, and now she’s translated her techniques into a book called “Own Your Color” for many others to learn from. After reading the early pages of the book, I didn’t realize this passion started at such a young age for her, but I can see how taking advantage lessons that come our way to grow and better ourselves is something we can learn at any age. Thank you for sharing your journey so graciously with so many others, Shikha! Can’t wait for your book release!! #ownyourcolor, #FITL2019
