She’s Unlikeable™: The Playbook for Women Who Lead Without Permission

"They call you ‘too much’ when you lead. ‘Difficult’ when you innovate. ‘Unlikable’ when you succeed on your terms. But these aren’t criticisms—they’re proof you’re doing it right.

Drawing from her viral Netflix experience and hard-won lessons as a former attorney, Aparna dismantles the myth that likability equals success. She reveals how the very traits labeled 'unlikable'—ambition, high standards, unshakable confidence—are actually the untapped superpowers of transformative leadership."

Aparna gives audiences a playbook on how to lead without permission, in which they learn:

  • The Unapologetic Advantage: How to reframe "unlikable" traits as leadership superpowers

  • The Boundary Blueprint: Setting non-negotiables that amplify respect (not resentment)

  • The Visibility Playbook: Turning scrutiny into influence—online and in the boardroom

The outcome? Women who don’t crack glass ceilings—they dismantle the entire framework to elevate every voice.
