Description
Book SynopsisSmart communication strategies to help professional women break into the C-suiteâand thrive when they arrive!
With only 5.8% of CEO positions in the S&P 500 held by women, itâs clear that there are more women who deserve a seat at the table than actually have one. In No Explanation Required!, Carol Sankar gives you the strategies you need to create the success you deserveâtoday. As founder of the global leadership firm, The Confidence Factor for Women, her goal is to ensure you deliver decisions and other communications with confidenceâno âœexplanationsâ required!
Loaded with real-life examples and backed by proprietary research, No Explanation Required! coaches you on how to speak up for yourself, stop debating your decisions, and eliminate âœlimitingâ language. In example after example, it becomes clear how these too-frequent expressions (âœIâm sorry,â âœExcuse me,â âœIâll get back to youâ) can strip you of your authority and credibility.
