Book Overview

Shelves full of business books have told women that the only way to win at work is to be like a guy. The truth is that science shows that the brains of men and women work differently. Here are proven techniques to maximize the intrinsic and instinctive strengths of women for the workplace. Despite steady advancement, part of the reason for women's continuing struggle for success is a very personal challenge: They feel uncomfortable doing anything that feels like self-promotion. That's why Ronna Lichtenberg, corporate veteran turned highly sought-after management consultant, built a program for women that works with their unique advantages. Starting with recent developments in brain sex research and moving through social stereotypes, Lichtenberg takes a fresh look at how women relate to work and shows them how to use their gifts to get what they want. The book includes easy-to-use tools, tips on managing communication styles, and exercises that have been honed in Lichtenberg's many workshops. Whether giving women pragmatic advice on what to do about that infuriating boss, how to know how much money they should be making (and how to get it), or how to follow up without feeling like a beggar or a stalker, Lichtenberg is real, and really funny at the same time. Her advice ushers in a new world of possibilities for women who are ready for a success that feels right. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Learning to promote, or "pitch", ME Inc. on and off the job

I found this book to be easy-to-read, informative, and interesting. The author tells you the what, the why, and the how of specific elements of "pitching" and she includes colorful examples to make her point. She clearly breaks down the process of "pitching" into key elements and describes how to maximize the effectiveness of each element while including the major concerns of the other party. (If anyone has seen the...

A slap to the forehead!

Ronna Lichtenberg's Pitch Like a Girl reached the top of my reading stack just in time! I was literally in the midst of sending out promotional packets for my new business when I realized I needed to hold the mail until I finished her book. Ronna's practical advice was like a slap to the forehead - of course I should frame it that way, of course that's what potential clients will need to hear! Even my therapist agreed with...

A book for both genders.

Pitch Like A Girl is a book for both genders. Although this book is addressed to women, if you are a man, you'll find most of it applies to you, too. Because, as Lichtenberg amply illustrates, there may be fixed tendencies arising from "hard-wiring" in the different male and female brains and hormonal systems, but tendencies are subject to manipulation by socialization, by learning and by choice. So, we all end up with both...

Great insights for professional and personal success

I picked up a copy of this book after reading a glowing review in USA Today, and am really grateful I read the paper that day. Pitch Like a Woman is filled with smart, funny, practical insights into the best ways to reach your professional goals--and your personal ones as well. Author Ronna Lichtenberg's discussion of the different ways that men's and women's brains are wired and the pragmatic implications of those findings...

One "Aha" After Another

The illusion that women in business should be like men has been deepening so gradually, for so long, it's been hard to see it happening. But it has. Thankfully, this book uses science, strategy, and common sense to dissolve one myth after another. It's fun to read, too, because it's written in a witty and personal way, as if your smartest and best friend were letting you in on her time-tested secrets. This is my favorite...
