REVIEW by LAWonder10:
This is not a book one can read, put down and forget. This is one that not only inspires and motivates, but takes the reader to the next level of implementing it into her life. This is written for women but it will aid men in the understanding of a woman's value & dilemmas. A few key quotes below offers a brief summary of what impressed me the mos: ".I want you to take control of your destiny (as much as anyone can) to transform your dreams into reality" "It's not about choosing work over family and friends or family and friends over work. I choose both." "...you will feel confident in making even more [human to human] connections... These connections will help you achieve career success, but will also help enrich your life and nourish your heart and soul." "it's about understanding your own needs, then making your needs heard by yourself and others." "You might even find you're inspiring others to do the same." This is an interesting, fabulous book from an outstanding woman who has learned success in a male-dominated field of expertise. Written from the wealth of knowledge she gas learned, she also offers personalized support to her readers.. This is a well-organized, effective book one will need to revisit often, as "life" happens. It isn't just about goal setting and reaching those goals, but also in being flexible and re-evaluating goals as events in life mat require one to. This is never dull, nor drawn-out. This earns a Five Stars rating. *This was gifted me with no requirement of a positive review. This is my honest review. 
Speak Up Now And Build The Career You Love!
Speaking up sounds like a totally obvious thing to do, doesn’t it? And yet, how many times have you shut yourself down before you even say a word? There are clearly a lot of factors involved in whether or not people will listen to what you have to say. In my book, AMPLIFY: How To Grow Your Reputation And The Kickass Career You Love, I talk about the barriers women face today. Some we have control over; MANY we don’t. However, we will never be listened to if we don’t start by speaking up. Here are a few tips to get you started. Want to learn more? Check out AMPLIFY today! 1. Share Your Ideas Don’t let others shut you down. You have the right to your opinion and others will be better off for hearing what you have to say. Mansplaining a problem? Take the naughty boy aside in a private setting. Let him know that you appreciate that he’s trying to help, but next time he should say, “I’m not sure if everyone heard the ideas she just expressed. Why don’t you say it again so we can make sure everyone gets a chance to listen and respond.” After all, you can talk for yourself! Most mansplaining folks take the hint and are embarrassed that they didn’t even notice they were doing something offensive. However, if he doesn’t get the idea after one or two discussions, try mentioning it again in a public setting. Chances are good he’ll figure it out pretty fast. 2. Use Facts to Back Your Opinions Which sounds more impressive: I disagree. OR I disagree, and let me show you the research I’ve done to back up my opinion. The second option, right? It’s great to share your opinions, but it can be challenging to convince others of your authority if you don’t back up your thoughts with facts. Even sharing facts isn’t always going to sway your audience, but it will at least give you a fighting chance! There are so many more great tips and tricks in AMPLIFY. I can’t wait to hear how you implement them in your own life. I believe in you! Now it’s time for you to believe in you too!
