If you recognize the behaviors that say "girl" not "woman," the results with pay off in career opportunities you never thought possible - and in an image that identifies you as someone with the power and know-how to occupy the corner office.
Review: My supervisor brought this book up in one of my 1:1 reviews with her. I took it as a not-so-subtle sign that I should read this. It's a quick read, and while I think I'm on the right track in many ways, there a few roadblocks. I took notes where I thought my "weaknesses" are. The author calls out each way women sabotage their career, but also provides coaching tips.
