Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers by Lois P. Frankel

4.0

There were definitely many tips that were useful in this book! I didn’t realized it would be as corporate as it was, I thought the title was more of a metaphor but I do feel as though there were parts that were more relevant in a corporate setting. 

I really enjoyed the stories of different woman, how their experiences can be used as examples and teachings for readers to gain a full context on errors that we can fix to gain an upper hand, wherever we are. I feel that most can also be applied to your personal life. It’s a great woman empowerment book that gives you a different perspective and approach to subconscious actions we make that can impact our professional stance. 

I have so many tabs and highlights on things I need to work on myself. One specific scenario I didn’t agree with was about being the scapegoat. I would’ve said something immediately in that meeting if my boss didn’t speak up for me. Regardless of the aftermath, there is a respectful way to bring up the fact that this was never your responsibility in front of all parties involved. You cannot solve the issue after the fact when it’s no longer relevant and you can’t trust the person to have your back the next time…
