It’s a must-read for all women, not just women in academia.  Order it today (and then get your friends to read it, too).  Wish I’d had it to read 25 years ago.  Let’s just say it would have paid for me to buy thousands and thousands of copies.

Who doesn’t want to get better and be able to put their emphasis on excellence?  The people who visit this site know what I mean!  We love to learn and grow.  Here are some books that I grouped under the category of ‘personal growth’ – and they are about professional growth as well, which can’t really happen without the personal growth…at least that’s my experience.  See if some of these recommendations sound helpful for you. 

Babcock, Linda & Laschever, Sara.  Women Don’t Ask:  The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation–and Positive Strategies for Change.

This book will wake you up. I only wish it had been available at the beginning of my career.  Pretty much, you can’t afford NOT to read this book.

The authors also have a newer book,  Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want.

This book will wake you up.  I only wish it had been available at the beginning of my career. 

The authors also have a new book, Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want and it is also worth reading.
