Description - How to Thrive and Survive as a Working Woman by Fiona Elsa Dent

For many women, a fulfilling and rewarding working life is often more important than achieving a high-flying career. By suggesting practical tools and techniques to help you reflect on, review and assess your needs, this book will enable you to plan for success and satisfaction in your working life.

Although many work issues have improved considerably in recent decades, it is clear that women continue to face a range of challenges and barriers in the workplace, any of which can hamper their efforts to succeed. Based on new data from hundreds of surveys and interviews, How to Thrive and Survive as a Working Woman encompasses stories, examples, interviews, strategies and practical exercises. Both instructive and interactive, the book offers insights from the authors’ own experience of coaching and working with women across many different sectors, jobs and levels.

Focusing on key issues for development and career success, Fiona Elsa Dent and Viki Holton, both faculty members at Ashridge Executive Education, Hult International Business School in the UK, examine these issues in the light of specific challenges facing women at work, including:

· - getting started in your career
· - dealing with motherhood and a career
· - changing career direction
· - moving up to senior levels
· - lack of confidence
· - developing a clear career plan.

Providing tips, techniques and approaches, this is the essential handbook for working women of all ages and at all stages of their careers in any industry.
