I wish I'd known this : 6 career-accelerating secrets for women leaders / Brenda Wensil, Kathryn Heath.
"Two executive coaches reveal the six blind spots that hobble women's career paths and strategies to effectively overcome them. There are predictable blind spots that affect thousands of professional women during their careers, but most don't know they exist or can't see their adverse impacts. Authors and executive coaches Brenda Wensil and Kathryn Heath have spent decades coaching and working with female executives, middle managers, and professionals across industries and age groups. From those sessions and conversations, they identified the six most critical challenges that women face in their careers, along with how to confront them: Blind spot #1: Stop drifting-Set a goal and a strategy and start driving. Blind spot #2: Don't go it alone-Get a posse. Blind spot #3: Don't wing it-Practice relentlessly. Blind spot #4: Don't leave reputation to chance-Install a personal GPS. Blind spot #5: End brand ambiguity-Get famous for something. Blind spot #6: Know your story-Know your limiting beliefs. Each chapter will include stories, strategies, practical insights, and reflective questions that readers can employ to reach their professional finish line successfully no matter where they are in their journeys"-- Provided by publisher.
