About this listen

Before you were told to "Lean In," Dr. Lois Frankel told you how to get that corner office. The New York Times best seller, is now completely revised and updated. In this edition, internationally recognized executive coach Lois P. Frankel reveals a distinctive set of behaviors - over 130 in all - that women learn in girlhood that ultimately sabotage them as adults.

She teaches you how to eliminate these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back and offers invaluable coaching tips that can easily be incorporated into your social and business skills. Stop making "nice girl" errors that can become career pitfalls, such as:

  • Mistake 13: Avoiding office politics. If you don't play the game, you can't possibly win.
  • Mistake 21: Multi-tasking. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.
  • Mistake 54: Failure to negotiate. Don't equate negotiation with confrontation.
  • Mistake 70: Inappropriate use of social media. Once it's out there, it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
  • Mistake 82: Asking permission. Children, not adults, ask for approval. Be direct, be confident.

Great book. Listened to it on my way to work every day and it framed my mind to start the day. So relatable as a female in a male-dominated working environment with honest advice. The female mentor I never had. I’ve been recommending it to everyone.

Wish I’d read this a decade ago

Fantastic book! I really enjoyed the practical tips and advice in this book. Having recently moved into a senior leadership role, this contained some excellent ideas to help in my day to day role and was easy to apply practically. While here are one or two aspects that I slightly disagreed with, the overall content of this book was superb and I have recommended it to several friends. Will listen to it again!

Enjoyed listening to the book but some topics are outdated. Especially around grooming and dresscodes

Good tips but outdated on certain topics

There’s some useful hard truths in this book about what people perceive, but I do worry it perpetuates the belief women need to change how they behave and appear rather than truly educating everyone to value difference in a modern, inclusive way. Definitely one to pick carefully which things you take forward.

Quite old fashioned in a few respects

loved it but cannot find the appendix material In pdf files that should come with the audio book.

Great tips but no bonus material in Audible

Overall a pretty good book and worth the read. There is some really sound advice contained in it. Can't say I agreed with absolutely all the points she raised. There were a few moments when I felt like the author was a bit of a woman-basher. It would have been helpful to get a bit more of a balanced view on the things successful women do well as opposed to stressing how pathetic women are in comparison to men.

It should be re-titled: "Tough Love"

I was pleasantly surprised that I could apply a large majority of the advice to my day-to-day interactions. I don't even work in an office but this book is full of useful coaching tips to help assert yourself.

great advice in and out of the office
