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.

Wish I’d read this a decade ago
Great book. Listened to it on my way to work every day and it framed my mind to start the day. So relatable as a female in a male-dominated working environment with honest advice. The female mentor I never had. I’ve been recommending it to everyone.

Excellent!
Fantastic book! I really enjoyed the practical tips and advice in this book. Having recently moved into a senior leadership role, this contained some excellent ideas to help in my day to day role and was easy to apply practically. While here are one or two aspects that I slightly disagreed with, the overall content of this book was superb and I have recommended it to several friends. Will listen to it again!

Exactly what I needed to hear
As a career woman facing with a transition to a new job and having made mistakes along the way, this book offers the tools I need to achieve my goals.
If I ever have a daughter, I'll make sure to pass on the lessons I learned from dr Lois Frankel.

New insights that can really make a difference
I thought that I was aware of all the 'girl-mistakes' that I was making and therefore I was a bit sceptical when a friend recommend this book to me. Reading it made me realize that I am also one of the recovering nice girls at work and at home. There are many practical examples that made me laugh either reconginzing myself, or other women and men at my office. Work hard and hope to get recognized, avoid negotiations, try to make mircales happen, use only your first name, never take the seat at the table - the list of the nice girls mistakes that I do myself or see others do at work just goes on. Additional to describing the mistakes Lois P. Frankel also gives actionalbe advice for each case. Apart from great content, I enjoyed the audio version. The book is narrated by the author herself, which is always nice and overall is a very pleasant listen.

Quite old fashioned in a few respects
There’s some useful hard truths in this book about what people perceive, but I do worry it perpetuates the belief women need to change how they behave and appear rather than truly educating everyone to value difference in a modern, inclusive way. Definitely one to pick carefully which things you take forward.
