Great book for you career climbers!

To all those career climbers, I want to recommend a book I found extremely insightful. "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office" gives you 101 unconscious mistakes women make to sabotage their careers. It pretty short and an easy read. I found I do a lot of things that I should consciously stop doing. Here are my top 4:

1. Wanting everyone to like you
2. Failing to capitalize on relationships
3. Speaking softly
4. Sitting on your foot (Yes I do this because it's comfortable. But apparently it gives the impression that you are little girl rather than a professional woman. Makes sense.)

It really points out things we as women do that may be percieved as weaker to the opposite sex. And I just found out that it's being made into a t.v. series! Not bad for a self help book!
