She had a real no-nonsense style of reading that was literate and interesting. I am amazed that they were paying Joe Scarborough 14x what she made; she had already made a new for herself in tv news long before she was on that show :(<br /><br />I am going to look for this one. I am surprised somewhat that she didn't narrate the book herself given her experience in broadcasting.TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-11731650502113466232011-07-11T10:15:09.376-07:002011-07-11T10:15:09.376-07:00If you liked this book you might also check out Wh...If you liked this book you might also check out Why Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office. I almost never read business books, but that one made me change a few things permanently that I still pay attention to today, 10 yeares after I read it. The tip on never be apologetic should be for EVERYTHING in a woman's career, not just for raise-asking. Unless you truly screwed something up that deserves an apology (and only one!), we should own our successes, and while yes we should learn from our failures, we don't need to dwell on them and certainly never point them out to others.Carin Siegfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278383926500248048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-73775630169992360152011-07-11T07:38:39.003-07:002011-07-11T07:38:39.003-07:00I sooooo agree with the point about "lucky&qu...I sooooo agree with the point about "lucky" ... when people say I've been lucky, I just laugh and reply, "Working my behind off for years and taking chances to go after my dream didn't make me lucky.

As long as women continue to do all of the things you list out among the helpful hints, we will never earn equal pay. It doesn't mean we have to act exactly like the men, but we can learn from them when it comes to discussions about pay and the art of self-promotion. This sounds like a wonderful, and quick, way to reinforce these lessons. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pointing out some helpful hints!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-40346547813342188352011-07-09T17:22:00.885-07:002011-07-09T17:22:00.885-07:00That's a good tip they point out about asking ...That's a good tip they point out about asking for raises!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128837662718618636noreply@blogger.com
