I clearly had a lovely vacation and am a week late.
In the last week, much has happened that has challenged me to think beyond regular stuff. Like always, am thankful for the new challenge - it has always brought me new opportunity and scope to learn.
Meanwhile, saw this video and loved it and wanted to share. If you have ever wanted to be creative or thought about creativity, want to become a public speaker- this video is for you.
Here’s some update on the blog- The regular blog visitors, you might have noticed some sponsor banners in the site. I let go most of the ad requests unless I myself find them useful. The goal is to try to make the site as independent as possible, so a few bucks through affiliations allow me to keep this going.
Thank you, if you have clicked on the sponsor links!
I came across this book review here and decided that I should read the book- so I bought it.
It had a waiting period of 10-15 days to import the book from US and then deliver- it was worth the wait and every single bit of the money!
This 292 pages book is a must read if you are a woman working in an organization which has a considerable percentage of men involved.
It lets you in to the secrets and science of being noticed, taking on more responsibility and being promoted. Suzanne Doyle Morris, the author interviews professionals and talks about steps taken by them to be noticed and be considered as part of the all male teams.
With this book you will actually learn and it’s a keeper .
Throughout the 14 chapters of the book she helps women see themselves in ways we have never thought about- the way women are perceived by men, how the body language, smaller things in workplace affect your image. She educates on things to change, things to act on, to do on what will make a favourable impression where you have a sponsor and an advocate for you.
It’s an amazing book and the one book which I think that will change your life and will be used over and over again.
