Even in the 21st century, women continue to be paid less than men and are still notably absent from the executive suites; and among entrepreneurs, women receive only a tiny fraction of venture capital. The struggle for equality is not yet over — and it's up to women to take positive action for change.
The Girls' Guide to Power and Success shows readers how with its frank advice and hard-won lessons including:
- It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Learn to strip out the hesitant "buts," intimate details, and indirect phrasings, and assert yourself effectively.
- Develop the confidence to ask for what you want. Learn how to create opportunities for yourself rather than waiting for them to be offered.
- Look for companies that "get it." Learn to pinpoint companies that are committed to women's advancement.
With its lively tone and no-nonsense strategies, The Girls' Guide to Power and Success is a powerful ally for women.
