USA TODAY BESTSELLER

“A book to gift to your sister, mother, friend, aunt, best friend, and beyond, and it’s filled with the wisdom that exponentially transforms your career and life.” —
Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper

A masterclass in success from the mailroom to the boardroom from one of the most powerful women in corporate America, discover the
un-common-sense women need to succeed—and the lies to ignore along the way.

Bonnie Hammer’s legendary career spans five decades in a turbulent, male-driven industry. Today, Bonnie is a powerful leader at the very top of her field, and women at all levels constantly ask her: What is your secret to success?

Her power—and her staying power—comes from rejecting common myths about how women are “supposed” to act in the workplace. She knows that the traditional wisdom women are told about work—pithy phrases like “don’t mix work with play,” “talk is cheap,” “follow your dreams,” “know your worth,” “trust your gut,” and “you can have it all”—hold women back. Having risen from an entry-level production assistant whose chief charge was a dog, to a transformative, top executive at NBCUniversal, Bonnie challenges conventional workplace wisdom and shares the uncommon sense women need to succeed.

Bonnie has mentored countless women in every industry, and she leads NBCUniversal’s masterclass for female executives. She’s known for telling the uncensored and uncompromising truth—even when it isn’t easy to hear. Now, she gives you, the listener, her private masterclass—replacing the lies women have been fed about work with her unique time-tested wisdom. You will leave with powerful new truths and easily digestible, practical advice to apply in your own life.

Written with humor and heart, and full of insights and research that illuminate her points, 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work is a portable mentor for working women. It doesn’t just explain one woman’s rise to the top in a tough industry; it shows how any woman can rise as high as she wants in her own work world.

It's a how to book on how to be an employee in corporate America

I went in thinking it was a book for women. I was so wrong. After 40 years of working in the corporate world, I can relate to nearly all of it. She is putting in writing many of the principles I built my career on. A fantastic book. I also think it's a book that might have to be read several times in your career to help you better understand what she is saying. The person directly out of school will only comprehend part of the book but they'll understand more after they work for a while. I think it's a book that may be applied from the beginning to the end of a career. Well done

This needs to be mandatory reading for women

There was so much about this that resonated. There are so many misconceptions that women have that are holding us back in the world of work. We are doing our best. I’m running ourselves ragged, but using outdated beliefs. this was super sage advice, and I’ll recommend it to all my friends.
