Publisher Description
Bestselling author, professional speaker, and former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Kate White shares the nine core principles gutsy women need to go bigger, bolder, and achieve the full level of success they desire.
Twenty-two years ago Kate White wrote the bestselling career bible Why Good Girls Don't Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do, and helped thousands of women push their success to the next level. Now a new generation of women, still eyeing the pay gap and glass ceiling, needs its own set of rules for today's modern workplace.
In The Gutsy Girl Handbook, White presents the nine core principles that have guided her career, offering dozens of straightforward, doable strategies for women in any field and at any stage in their professional lives. Drawing on original research, and sharing new success stories and never-before told examples from her time as the editor-in-chief of Cosmo, White inspires women to own their excellence, break the rules (or make their own), ask for the money and opportunities they deserve, and refuse to apologize for who they are and what they want.
The Gutsy Girl Handbook is a resource for women who want to build confidence, negotiate a great salary and perks, manage meetings, mansplaining, and interruptions, and create game-changing "notice me" ideas. This all-new, accessible handbook is a great gift for graduates, and a must-read for professional women of all levels.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
White, former Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief, serves up a companion volume to her 1995 bestseller, Why Good Girls Don't Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do,with this empowering career guide. She outlines strategies to help women rise to the top of their fields, including how to hustle (side jobs are okay; doing them at work is not); learning that "though it may not be fair," appearances matter; being able to accept constructive criticism; asking for what one wants; and being a "gutsy" boss. In generating ideas on the job, White advises using tools such as the "four Bs" could it be better? bigger? bolder? badass? to turn ordinary ideas into extraordinary ones, illustrated by White's experience of turning a skin cancer story into an investigative report that led to regulatory oversight of tanning salons. A 10-step process for evaluating risks includes an examination of an action's potential benefits and risks, and how severe consequences might be. Shorter and snappier than its predecessor but with all of White's spot-on, hard-won wisdom intact, this updated offering will inspire a new generation of women.)
