1) Hardcover Book What It Takes: Speak Up, Step Up, Move Up: A Modern Woman's Guide to Success in Business by . As the last woman standing on NBC´s hit show "The Apprentice," Amy Henry has a lot to say about business. Rather than focusing on her television experience, however, Henry draws from her eight-year career of managing multi-million dollar software projects and offers a host of strategies for success, particularly in male-dominated industries. She insists on the power of networking with the big boys; stealth bragging, so that people will know about your accomplishments; speaking up and using your charm, beauty and womanly intuition. Henry´s advice is similar to those found in other books, but her no-nonsense, woman-to-woman approach will be helpful and enjoyable for younger women and those breaking into the business world.¤ 2) Hardcover Book What It Takes: Speak Up, Step Up, Move Up: A Modern Woman's Guide to Success in Business by . I really like this book, there was a lot of information and substance. Although she was on the Apprentice, Ms. Henry rarely discussed it. She focused on the mistakes that are holding women back in business and showing how to overcome them with very good information. She also provides quotes from other successful women in business.
I learned a lot.
¤ 3) Hardcover Book What It Takes: Speak Up, Step Up, Move Up: A Modern Woman's Guide to Success in Business by . In responce the review stating "Most of the book is filled with common sense"
This book is filled with what *some* people learned naturally and consider common sense. Some people, like me, do not consider this common sense. I´m male but I haven´t mastered the art of interacting in a male dominated social business environment. (When I was young, I never learned to play with little boys much either.) So I think this book has lots of valuable information already - and I´m only 1/5 of the way through.¤ 4) Hardcover Book What It Takes: Speak Up, Step Up, Move Up: A Modern Woman's Guide to Success in Business by . After reading other women in business books, I read this & thought it was great. This book talks about men & women in the workplace & how we need to act different to get the same things. This is a quick read & gets right to the point.
I really believe this book has valuable information to help women, some of it basic, all of it in the modern workplace. Having worked in an office for over 10 years, I have seen mistakes that could have been avoided by reading this book.
Some of the things Amy writes about are:
-Tooting your own horn
-Staying away from gossipy people, they will do nothing for your career but give you a bad reputation
-Sexuality in the workplace - how to act & dress sophisticated rather than sexy
-How to ask for & negotiate a job offer, promotion, raise & benefits
-Networking with the right people
-How to deal with emotions at work & picking your battles
-How to portray the right image
-Not to take things personally
The list goes on. There´s a lot of helpful information for women in business & I already feel empowered having read this book. I think this is a must for every woman starting out in the business world!¤ 5) Hardcover Book What It Takes: Speak Up, Step Up, Move Up: A Modern Woman's Guide to Success in Business by . WOW~!!! this book is like a long paper work of taking bits and pieces of great business books that already exsists.
you know I can´t wait for Omorosa´s book to come out, I mean the content is going to be the same but I just want to prove my theory to my friends that what if your on TV for more than 6 weeks you get cocky as hell.
If you really want to spend money.. I suggest this book.¤ 6) Hardcover Book What It Takes: Speak Up, Step Up, Move Up: A Modern Woman's Guide to Success in Business by .
