Practical strategies show how to turn job competency into the kind of authentic confidence that gets noticed. Women learn to practice the Four Rs of Success—relationships, reputation, results, and resilience—dipping in for tips and tools on how to: Build circles of influence Seize opportunities they normally avoid Leverage and promote their skills Cultivate executive presence Use data compellingly Bounce back from setbacks And more With this powerful new book, women everywhere will find the confidence they need to step off the sidelines onto the playing field—and claim the success they deserve.
