Publisher's summary

For every professional woman who wants to get ahead, but feels she is at an impasse, Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office comes to the rescue. In this program, Dr. Frankel, reveals the 101 self-sabotaging behaviors women learn as girls, behaviors and habits that are now holding them back in the workplace, such as couching statements as questions, tilting one's head when they speak, waiting to be noticed, and pinching company pennies. From executive to entry level, every woman needs to know what she is doing to subconsciously sound, look, act, market herself, and/or be treated like a "girl".

Dr. Frankel's groundbreaking follow up, Nice Girls Don't Get Rich, offers advice every woman needs to know to stop sabotaging her finances and level the playing field when it comes to money. In this program, Dr. Frankel reveals the 75 mistakes women make that are holding them back from financial success, such as depending on men for financial advice and/or support, treating money as a taboo, being reluctant to negotiate, and a fear of math and numbers.

Be debt free

This book is for the debt free woman, not someone who is trying to get out of debt. I found this to be very disappointing because she wasn’t talking to me.

Take it lightly

A lot of the tips are useless outside of the USA. Great first self help book (I'm from Canada)

All women should listen to this!

There are sooo many jewels/tips that even as a business owner I will begin to apply. I am also thankful for the resources she has sighted to help further with putting these things into action

Easy and actionable tips

The author is straight forward and no nonsense and the way she reads her book is matter of fact, doesn’t sound rhetorical, just states the facts which I loved.

Basic, but telling

I had "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office" on my shelf, unread, for years, so finally purchased the audiobook file. The information seems basic at first blush, but when put into context, the Coaching Tips are priceless. Having never been in some of these situations (fortunately), I now have some idea of how to react should they ever arise - and have a book to reference after I have gone down Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve. Worth the time listening.

Eye-opening!

While I consider myself a level-headed woman who performs well in a business environment, this book really opened my eyes to some of the mistakes we as women make in the corporate world. Such subtle things that we wouldn't even give a second thought about can drastically affect how we appear in the eyes of our male coworkers. As the author points out, the emphasis in this title shouldn't be on the "girls," but one the "nice." I have made many of the "nice girl" mistakes the author highlights, and they have ended up costing me professionally. I highly recommend this book to any woman who wants to move up in the work force.

Good read or should I say listen!!

Narrator held my attention. The author shared relatable examples and practical advice. I'd listen to it again.

best business book

One of the best business books I have picked from Audible. And a good buy because you get two. The first book has 101 mistakes women make. This sounds like it might be tedious (or negative) but not so. For each the author gives an example. And then a tip (what to do) to contrast with the mistake.

I can't say if men will like this book. For me, a woman who has worked for over 30 years, I learned something from every one of the 101 mistakes. None of the examples or tips are lame. I really recommend this.

The second book "Don't Get Rich" is also very good.

A must read for anyone wanting to be an independent woman

As you listen to the audiobook you notice that a few things are a bit outdated now. However the overall lessons to take away from this book still ring true.

Sometimes this was hard for me to listen to because her words really hit home. In my youth I very much acted like a boy in all of the ways that you are advised to in this book. However as I grew up I had every member of my family struggling to make me a "nice girl". This book really helped me face my fears of financial decisions that weren't talk to me because I was a girl. I'm very happy I read this book and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to be an independent woman.

On

In the second half of Dr.Frankel's title, "N.G.D Get Rich" she is already in a high paying position and the corp has paid her way through school to get her a degree. (yes, she did the work, but most of us dont have flexible high paying prestigious jobs who will put us through a prestigious school.) Altho i did't care for the underlying message ("just play dirty and WIN") i did appreciate her coaching about managing finances and there being no excuse that women can't or shouldn't get rich by their own volition. In this, investing has no 'glass ceilings' and doesn't discriminate. She's right. Learn to invest. It can be done with as little as $100 and she will advise on the best methods, plus get your mindset in the right direction.
