Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office

Mistake #4: Believing Negative Self-Talk. Counter negative messages with positive ones. 
Mistake #26: Fear of Coming Across too Strong. Don’t dumb down, shut down, or tone down–be assertive! 
Mistake #55: Poor Boundaries. If you’re going to work from home, set boundaries.
Mistake #85: Doing Instead of Leading. Picking up others’ slack becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

• “I’m a huge fan of Lois Frankel’s original Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office. It surgically dissects the habits that consistently undermine talented women. So, I’m grateful that Lois has written an update. Lois’s perspective on the confusing time in which we find ourselves is enlightening and on-point.”
