Have you ever felt invisible? Taken advantage of? Reluctant or unable to articulate what you really want? If so, welcome to the nice girls club. I'm Lois Frankel, and along with my co-author Carol Frohlinger, we're here to help you transform from a nice girl into a winning woman. Nice girls are those more concerned with pleasing others than addressing their own needs. They haven't yet learned how to overcome the childhood messages and cultural stereotypes that keep them from getting their voices heard, their needs met, and the lives they want. But that's about to change. In this book, we'll explore seven key strategies and 99 supporting tactics that every winning woman should know. By the time you finish, you'll have the tools to win respect, achieve success, and create the life you truly desire - all without sacrificing your inherent kindness and compassion.
