Cracking the Boy's Club Code -Excellent!,
By
This review is from: Cracking The Boy's Club Code: The Woman's Guide to Being Heard and Valued in the Workplace (Paperback)
Having been in the corporate world for many years, I can easily relate to the workplace scenarios Mike discusses in his book. Mike explains in easy to understand terms the differences in the thinking process of men and women. Once you understand these differences, you will know how to communicate effectively not only in the corporate world but with men in general. The book is easy to read with exercises to assist in relating the information to your own situation. I highly recommend this book to women of all ages.

Right on the money!,
This review is from: Cracking the Boy's Club Code: The Woman's Guide to Being Heard and Valued in the Workplace (Kindle Edition)
This book is great for anyone in the workplace! Since reading it I have learned new and effective ways to speak up, interact with my male bosses and even enter a meeting. The book gives an insiders view into the male mind. I believe men could also improve the way in which they work with women by reading this book. I have always worked in male dominated industries (finance and sports) and always thought I did a good job of dealing with the men, but the book has made me more confident in my ability to communicate in person, over email and on the phone. I look at it with a whole new perspective. Great Book!

Creating A Postive Impact,
This review is from: Cracking The Boy's Club Code: The Woman's Guide to Being Heard and Valued in the Workplace (Paperback)
Are you a woman wondering how to make a more positive impact at work? I suggest reading Cracking the Boy's Club Code. This insightful book, written by Michael Johnson, delivers straight forward advice on how to improve your communication and develop a winning style. Johnson, a corporate trainer, who has taught thousands of people, created this book due to the encouragement of many who participated in his classes.There are notable advantages to this particular book. First, the author shares tips that his former students employeed successfully in all types of work settings. Second, the recommendations are concise, including rationales, and examples. Also there are "workbook" pages where one may write down specifics relating to the the reader's own experience and work setting. This format is a wonderful way to encourage self reflection. Additionally I found the book contains key advice that is most relevant in the todays everchanging work environment. Johnson's book can be read in a couple of hours or if one prefers it might be a a moe leisurely "read." It is also a title that a groups of friends might want to consider for a small group book discussion. I highly recommend this title to all women who want to make a more positive impact at work.
