About this listen

Before you were told to "Lean In," Dr. Lois Frankel told you how to get that corner office. The New York Times best seller, is now completely revised and updated. In this edition, internationally recognized executive coach Lois P. Frankel reveals a distinctive set of behaviors - over 130 in all - that women learn in girlhood that ultimately sabotage them as adults.

She teaches you how to eliminate these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back and offers invaluable coaching tips that can easily be incorporated into your social and business skills. Stop making "nice girl" errors that can become career pitfalls, such as:

  • Mistake 13: Avoiding office politics. If you don't play the game, you can't possibly win.
  • Mistake 21: Multi-tasking. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.
  • Mistake 54: Failure to negotiate. Don't equate negotiation with confrontation.
  • Mistake 70: Inappropriate use of social media. Once it's out there, it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
  • Mistake 82: Asking permission. Children, not adults, ask for approval. Be direct, be confident.

First of all I loved the way this book was structured. Having it broken down by mistakes made it easy to listen to a couple on the way to work, on the train, walks around the block. Secondly, the way each mistake is presented, linked to a story and then accompanied by coaching tips made them really easy to understand and action every day. I've taken a lot of these tips on my stride and have noticed a big difference already with praise from my peers.

Great for bite-sized reading

I’ve been replaying this about 3x now, to make sure I internalize the lessons. Thank you Dr. Lois for writing this!

This should be a working girl’s bible!

I’m not a “nice girl” and I never have been, not at work, but at home, and this book was still hugely beneficial. I actually have my female direct reposts and mentees read this, especially when they are really “nice” and struggle with the assertiveness to advance their careers.
It’s not just about being “nice” either. It’s key tips about how to be successful when working around a lot of men.

Every woman in her career needs to hear this book.

Although some recommendations in this book are not achievable in my industry, it makes you aware of the subconscious mistakes we are doing on a daily basis.
Very good book

Very recommendable

It definitely had some great tips on how to be a professional woman. I've done a heap of bookmarking so I can go back and listen to what's relevant to me. Ultimately, it's best to pick a handful of tips to focus on and move on from there, ultimately aiming for unconscious competence.

Helpful.

I really enjoyed this honest appraisal of how easy it is for women to stuff up their corporate image. There is no 'glass ceiling'. Women have enough imposed barriers. This book should be included as mandatory study for all female school-leavers.

Too true!
