Success life coach Maxine Nwaneri shows women, no matter what age, how to escape the motherhood penalty, arrest ten time thieves, reduce family chaos and thrive in life. A job? An obligation? A career? A choice? A penalty?
With maternal mental health issues on the rise, more women are speaking up about work-life balance. Maxine’s insight and coaching process is drawn from insight gained consulting with mothers in the workplace in some of the world’s most successful corporate businesses as well as her own motherhood journey. Passionate about helping women overcome obstacles to prioritising themselves and selfcare, Maxine shows mothers and mothers to be how they can empower themselves and reduce overwhelm through the everchanging landscape of balancing work, career choices and motherhood. Maxine holds an MBA from Cambridge University. Her work, which has impacted the lives of numerous women worldwide, has been featured on TV, on various stages internationally, and in several online publications, including Success Magazine, Huffpost, and DiversityQ Thrive Global.
Well-intended workplace policies and initiatives have failed to successfully help mothers and mothers to be cope with work life balance. Countless women get “lost” in the juggling act of working motherhood that often leaves them guilty, unfulfilled and failing on all fronts. Women do three times more unpaid work at home than their male partners. The pandemic amplified this and saw 1.5 billion children around the world homeschooled with mothers shouldering most of the weight around education and home care. These pressures have led to one in three working mothers scaling back their careers or leaving the workforce entirely. An issue governments and employers are failing to solve, The Future is Greater helps readers tap into the powerful, but less mentioned source of answers for this conundrum – mothers and women themselves. In Mother Maxine discusses the issue of motherhood penalty verses fatherhood premium, and how this affects so many women’s lives and decisions women make long before they ever have children. Every woman faces different challenges, motivations, and dreams. Leading readers through a tried and tested ten step process involving amongst others the following tips: • decide to make a change • create a powerful and exciting vision for your life • adopt the powerful C.R.I.S.I.S success plan created by Maxine • build resilience and avoid comparison traps • identify time wasters and identify thieves Using client testimonials and a journey that took Maxine from homelessness, addiction, academic failure in her teens, to becoming an award-winning student and Cambridge graduate, Maxine illustrates that time for what may seem like the most important commitments is gained by taking time to care first for oneself.

• Timandra offers a fresh and unique take on an increasingly urgent conversation, and one of the most compelling arguments yet for getting people to think about the role that data collection and big tech play in our lives. • For readers of compelling smart-thinking non-fiction, such as Invisible Women (85k HBs, 75k PBs); The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (17k HBs, 35k PBs); Weapons of Math Destruction (15k HBs, 7k PBs). • Timandra has a modest social platform (10k) but excellent connections with the British media, notably Radio 4, with whom she has written and produced 6 seasons of Futureproofing. •The themes in Recognised are universal and Timandra is interviewing experts from a number of different countries as part of her research. • We would expect excellent endorsements and reviews.
We already know how much of our data is collected and used to profile and target us. The real question is why, knowing all this, do we keep going back for more?

Technology has delivered a world that we expect to revolve around us, our needs and preferences, and our unique personalities. Each of us willingly yields up the most intimate facets of our behaviour and interests in return for a world that’s exponentially easier to navigate. Ours is the Personalised Century, where we view ourselves primarily in terms of what rather than who we are – the objects of others’ recognition, rather than the subjects and authors of our own lives. That we keep handing ourselves over to technology is not a sign of its supernatural powers, but rather our own shrinking sense of selves.
Timandra Harkness is a broadcaster, statistician, mathematician and who came to science through comedy. Her BBC documentaries include Data, Data Everywhere and Personality Politics, and she is a regular on Radio 4. Timandra also regularly writes about data, algorithms and our relationship with technology for publications including The Sunday Times, Guardian,Evening Standard and Wired.
Interrogating the historical currents that have brought us here, Harkness envisages a messier, riskier and less comfortable world than the one into which we’re sliding. Challenging readers to scrutinise what’s missing from their personalised menus, Recognised encourages us to look afresh at the familiar: not just the technology we use every day, how we relate to the world and those around us.
