Publisher's summary

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.

New lessons and Great reminders

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It was great to hear confirmation about several of the tips that I was already doing which helped to open up to new advise on things that I am either not doing or was unaware I was wrongfully doing. I walked away more confident and inspired after the book and will re-read it again and again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office?

How important it is to be among the first to speak in meetings.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Lois spoke about standing up for yourself and how to professionally defend or point out when others try to scape goat you.

Any additional comments?

A great read, a must for all women in an office setting looking to get ahead.

Nice Girls

This book is definitely a must read to those who are entering the workforce with no background in corporate. This book has definitely made me check myself and given me such great insight. I wish I had this five years ago, but, I’m definitely better prepared for moving forward!

Great for the office girlies

A lot of these topics were hard pills to swallow, but necessary to hear. A few of the “mistakes” are a little outdated, but overall I really enjoyed this book.
