Rise Into Your Own Power by Lynette Beer

August 21, 2022 Melanie Hawken

Lynette Beer

Book Review

Business coach and author, Lynette Beer, believes we are all born for greatness and success, and in her book Rise Into Your Own Power, she provides her wealth of expertise and insights to show you how to be the person you are meant to be. Importantly, it is a guide that helps you to build great relationships in life and in business by starting with knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, and learning how to be the best version of yourself.


Lynette Beer, author of the book, Rise Into Your Own Power, believes that we are born to be creators, explorers, leaders, thinkers, and to touch the lives of others. As women and as entrepreneurs, she believes we are born to be somebody, to leave our mark, and to change the world. In her book, Lynette shares how we can work to exceed the limits placed on us by others, to live a life of success, and to have a spirit of excellence. She believes we were born to be extraordinary and to live beyond our circumstances, rather than be defined by them, and her insights in her book show us how to achieve these goals. Just as route maps direct us to our destination, may this book encourage and guide you on the road to greatness and freedom, to be the person you are meant to be.

Author Quotes

More often than not, your greatest enemy stares you in the face every morning.

Learn to silence that deceitful inner voice that constantly tells you you’re not worthy or capable, and seize the power of choice to rise into success, right now, in this very moment.

Every day, you have the power to change your story.

About the author

Lynette Beer is a Business Coach, Author, and Specialist on how to fulfill your life’s purpose, unlock your potential, and build more meaningful and lasting relationships in business. As a global thought leader in the field of human behaviour, Lynette believes that in order to be content personally, and to be successful professionally, you must firstly have a healthy relationship with yourself, and secondly, have the ability to develop symbiotic relationships with others. And to accomplish the latter, requires a solid understanding of self and others. With this realization in mind, Lynette set out to demystify and simplify the dynamics of people. In the process, she discovered a proto-psychological theory formulated by ancient Greek philosophers that suggests that all people can be classified into four fundamental personality types. Based on this theory, she ideated the Four-Colour Temperament Model© that is simple enough for anyone to understand and easy to incorporate in daily life and work practices.

Why LoA loves it…

Every woman entrepreneur wants to make an impact in the world through their businesses and the work they do. For Lynette Beer, she realized that one of the ways in which she could reach the maximum people and create optimal impact, was through writing books. Today, Lynette is a renowned published author with a myriad of top-selling self-help books that are all essentially aimed at empowering people to step into the highest versions of themselves and inspire greatness in others. Her book Rise Into Your Own Power is an insightful read that could help women entrepreneurs on their own journeys to fulfilling their unique potential and making a difference in the world. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
