Download Own It: The Power of Women at Work AudioBook Free
A new kind of profession playbook for a fresh age of feminism, offering women a fresh set of rules for professional success: the one which plays with their talents and builds on the power they already have. Weren't women supposed to have "showed up"? Perhaps with the nation's first female president, equal pay coming, true diversity in the workplace to come thereafter? Or at least the end of "fat shaming" and "locker room talk"? Well, we aren't quite there yet. But does indeed which means that that improvement for ladies in business has come to a screeching halt? It's true that the old rules didn't get us so far as we hoped. But we can go the distance, and we can close the gaps that still exist. We just need a new way. Actually there are multiple reasons to be optimistic about the near future, says former Wall structure Neighborhood powerhouse-turned-entrepreneur Sallie Krawcheck. That's because the business enterprise world is changing fast - motivated essentially by technology - and it's really changing with techniques that provide us more electric power and opportunities than ever, and much more than we yet realize. Success for professional women will no longer be about aiming to contend at the men's version of the game, she says. And it'll no longer be about contorting ourselves to men's anticipations of how powerful people act. Instead it's about embracing and investing in our innate talents as women - and providing them happily and unapologetically to work. When we do, she says, we gain the power to advance in our opportunities in more natural ways. We gain the power to start courageous conversations in the workplace. We gain the power to forge nontraditional profession pathways, to leave companies that don't value our worthwhile and instead go start our very own. And we gain the power to get our economical muscle to make our lives and the planet better. Here Krawcheck attracts on her activities at the highest degrees of business, both as one of the few women at the top rungs of the largest boy's club on the globe and as a business owner, showing women how to seize this seismic change in power to take their opportunities to another level. This change is real, and it's really coming fast. It's time to own it.
