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.
