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.

Praise For WIN WHEN THEY SAY YOU WON’T

  • "'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."

    H.E Audrey P. Marks, Jamaican Ambassador to the USA and Permanent Representative to the OAS, Embassy of Jamaica

  • “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.”

    Bishop Noel Jones, City of Refuge

  • Great leaders are often diamonds in the rough. They need guidance, encouragement and direction to shine. Race and gender biases often add layers of dirt and crust that smother one’s radiance. Daphne Jones has provided personal insights and a technologist’s systems approach to success that will empower readers to realize their full potential.”

    Michael K. Powell, President & CEO, NCTA—The Internet & Television Association and Former Chairman of the FCC

  • "What I loved most about this book is that it gives practical examples that many of us can relate to and it has a business-sense process that you can apply to your career and personal life to achieve your goals. I love how Daphne E. Jones, naturally intertwines her life story into these pages. She is not only a successful businesswoman, but she is also an eloquent storyteller. As women and women of color in the workplace we are often marginalized, voiceless, and as the great author, Ralph Ellison, called it, feel invisible. This book provides a process to overcome and regain our god-given strength and power."

  • "What I found intriguing and interesting was Daphne’s ability to intertwine a technical approach to personal development. WWTSYW provides practical lessons and examples of how Mrs. Jones used and applied her methodology to advance in all areas of life. WWTSYW is the reference manual and guidebook for how we do business. WWTSYW should be required reading for students worldwide. Having the principles of WWTSYW in your toolbox 🧰 will greatly increase the likelihood of success in any field of endeavor one decides to persue!"

  • "This is the first career book that I believe I can trust and follow through with all the activities. This book relates to all of me and every part of me that makes our society call me an Unicorn. I reflected on my past wins in my career that mapped back to a role on my resume. The book laid out an easy framework to follow. Doing these activities could help you with your elevator pitch or even a job interview. The activities also allow you to see yourself and helps you celebrate how far you have come and gets you excited for all that is to come in your life. Job well done Daphne E. Jones!"
