Surprising secrets of success from some of America''s women
leaders; all the things a mentor would tell you are revealed in
this mentor-in-a-book. Sheila Wellington, the president of
Catalyst, draws on Catalyst research, contacts, and know-how to
tell you how to understand the unspoken rules in the real world of
work today and how to get ahead.
Catalyst studies reveal that having a mentor is the crucial key to
success at work, and it''s the single advantage men usually have,
and women usually don''t. Even at the best organizations for women,
there is still a shortage of mentors. Be Your Own Mentor becomes
that mentor for you, providing through stories and eye-opening
advice a step-by-step guide to advancement. How to master the art
of networking, how to create opportunities to gain experience and
visibility, how to manage time, how to negotiate salary, and much,
much more is discussed, as you learn from leading women how they
got where they are, the mistakes they feel they''ve made along the
way, and how they created lives of achievement and satisfaction.
Hear from women such as Carly Fiorina CEO, Hewlett-Packard,
Cathleen Black president, Hearst Magazines, Judith Rodin
president, University of Pennsylvania, and Andrea Jung president
and CEO, Avon. From that first resume all the way to the CEO''s
office, Be Your Own Mentor guides you along your path to
success.
Be Your Own Mentor gives advice from top women on how to:
Devise a short-term and long-term career strategy
Gain visibility in the workplace and in your field
Create opportunities to gain valuable experience
Change your career path
