How do I get others to take me more seriously? Can I learn to settle for respect instead of needing to be liked? What is the difference between authoritative and authoritarian? How can I learn to put across my views more coherently? There are many more women managers than there were ten years ago but women in senior positions remain rare. Despite the progress made in terms of equal opportunities, many women still struggle with lack of confidence in the workplace, often overworking to compensate for self-perceived inadequacy. This book portrays the experience of individual women at work. It outlines the problems they encounter and why, and then offers practical skills and suggestions on how to develop genuine self-confidence. In addition, Anne Dickson develops a series of progressive role-plays to guide readers through situations they'll easily recognise, such as: negotiating effectively; setting limits; handling power without being oppressive; and confronting bullying and prejudice. Real self-confidence increases personal power and "Women at Work" aims to teach you that being true to yourself is pivotal to getting the most out of your work and career.
