Although you often engage in behaviors worthy of a winning woman, there are times when you don’t get your due because you get caught up in nice girl syndrome.

Now, in this groudbreaking guide, she helps you eliminate these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back--and offers invaluable coaching tips you can easily incorporate into your social and business skills.

The book, described by the author, approaches “Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers”, but, don’t you think sabotage is a bit of a strong word? Its common knowledge at this point that men and women are different and approach work and the office environment differently. By informing others you show respect for their need to know, but without *your* action being contingent upon *their* approval. In the clamour for limited career advancement opportunities, women view other women as the real competition. Having no money of your own, finances that are in disarray or not preparing for your financial future translates to a loss of freedom.The overall message of this book is great--women need to take proactive measures to reduce learned behaviors that will stand in their way of achieving success. Some women might feel great about feeling like they have somehow escaped the fate of the helpers and then use those silly 'girls' to support their work without thinking twice about how destructive that structure is. Is not all about having millions of followers or getting a sponsorship, is a about defining how you want to be seen by people surrounding you, which causes you support, how do you engage with friends and family, what do you review negatively or positively, even what makes you laugh. Frankel doesn't waste time pining for an idealistic world - this book isn't for idealistic women, it's for ambitious women who want to succeed and thrive in the world that exists. I think this was written before the female empowerment movement, because the content about women supporting women is on the low end.

or "poll" your friends and colleagues before making a decision, chances are you have been bypassed for promotions and ignored when you expressed your ideas. More dangerously, however, the negative, dismissive tone toward 'girls' reinforces negative stereotypes about women in the workplace that are hurtful to women as a whole, even if you've managed to separate yourself from the rest of the pack. Some of the advice assumes the reader is a relatively high earner and some is so painfully obvious that it's insulting. If you're willing to take the calculated risk of possibly failing, it's not selfish to learn on the job. This BS that is mascaraed as coaching is nothing more than an attempt to push women shift their behavior because men aren’t willing to shift their own.I was pleasantly surprised that I could apply a large majority of the advice to my day-to-day interactions.

I almost didn't make the purchase because I pretty much hate the color pink (it's been forced on me all my life) and I didn't like the title. My lowest scores were in act, play, and market, but I think my worst drawback is my soft soprano voice. In the bestselling tradition of Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman, comes this groundbreaking book offering advice every woman needs to know to stop sabotaging her own career - and get ahead in the workplace. For me most important point I take from this read, valid from now: I will never again apologize for winning! Another mistake women make is that when they do play the game, they do so safely and within the boundaries.Frankel reveals a distinctive set of behaviours–over 130 in all–that women learn in girlhood that ultimately sabotage them as adults. I know that I need to speak up more, and a good way of doing this is to practice speaking up in meetings (or class) at least once per session. Women who style themselves in a feminine way are often viewed in a different, less professional way. If they do it consistently, ask them point blank why they feel the need to put you down just because you've asked a question. If ideas aren’t communicated in a way that instills confidence and credibility, then those ideas fall on deaf ears.
