Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office: 101 unconscious mistakes women make...

Product Information

She treats traditional, ladylike behaviour as a weakness and a liability almost, and describes how one should mirror a man’s more « powerful masculine » approach instead. Overall, women have good intentions when responding in this way but, unfortunately, it stems from the stereotypical need to be liked. Instead, Frankel gives the impression that she is self-obsessed and unethical, that she doesn't care if it's your head she uses as a step on her way to the top.

I'd downloaded several other career advice audiobooks before this one, as I was looking for career advice because I'm a new grad starting my first corporate job. Why not talk about how such women can move out of the cycle, rather than just advising avoiding getting sucked into it at any cost? Before you begin reading, here’s your first tip: Don’t read this book until you’ve learned how to use it to your advantage.Overall, most advice is good, but oh, do I get triggered whenever I hear the phrase: act more like a man. I'll be thinking something but won't say it for fear of sounding stupid, and then someone else goes on to say the exact same thing and get praised for brilliance. I first felt like giving up reading the book from its first chapters but I continued to read it all by seeing it as a historical curiosity and laughing at the outdated stuff.

Take it from the other end, where I'm constantly told to smile, which is a microaggression in itself as women are expected to be accommodating, pleasant, peacekeeping. While that book explores the problems women face with confidence, this book shows you how to address and conquer those problems in the workplace. Don’t bring baked goods to the office because you will be taken less seriously for showing your nurturing side. Comments like: “Let’s have_______ take notes, she has the best handwriting Or Linda, would you mind making the coffee?Each of these questions relates to one of seven categories: 1) how you act 2) think 3) work 4) play 5) look 6) sound 7) market. Dress this way, look this way”: In Chapter 7, Frankel approaches a more sensitive topic from my perspective and where I don’t necessarily agree fully with. But the structure of the book (a giant listicle) doesn't go in depth about any one, and there are better resources for this.

Ik werd hier echt boos van, het is zo: vrouwen zitten in een rolpatroon en daarom doen ze alles fout. There were a few other examples like this throughout the book that get a little too nit picky, but do not take away from the overall message.Speak at meetings the way men do: loud, confident and don't forget to be the first to speak and never the last. Even worse, when you do try to act outside that scope, you get mislabelled as “bitchy” or you hear something like, “You’re so cute when you’re angry,” or even, “Are you PMSing? Yet another zelfhulpboek dat met een hoop grote woorden beweert verbazingwekkende informatie te delen die je volledige zijn zal transformeren, maar uiteindelijk een empty shell vol voorspelbaarheid blijkt te zijn. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. I had an epiphany-like moment over and over again when Frankel points out that when people shame a woman for unladylike behavior, it's not because there is such a shameful thing as unladylike behavior, it's because it's the easiest and most effective means of getting whatever it is they want out of you.
