5.0 out of 5 stars Help for both women and men in the workplace, February 5, 2008
I have read this book from cover to cover and have recommended it to both friends and family. I wish that I had this help during transitions and change in my previous job because this would have been a tremendous help in giving me better direction and a more positive way to handle difficult situations. I applaud Dondi for her brilliant advise and believe that many more people will receive a huge benefit from her insite that she has captured between the pages of this book. Thank heaven people like Dondi are here to help all of us.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is awesome!, February 5, 2008
By Susan Rodriguez (San Antonio,Texas) - See all my reviews

Im a store manager, I loved it so much that i bought another copy to leave at work so my girls could read it.
I think if you are given the tools for sucess there is no way you won't suceed.
This book is real and it's motivating!
It keeps you wanting more, so you really don't want to put it down until your finished.
This author is amazing! I love her!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good info, terrific ideas, entertaining to read!, February 8, 2008
Dondi's wisdom and sense of humor combine to deliver really insightful, powerful and useful lessons on growing your career. It may have been written for women, but there's a lot in here for us guys as well! Her humor and story telling style make reading this book a delight... it's not a bitter pill - or a "pill" at all - more like a night at the movies! If you've ever had the pleasure of hearing Dondi speak in person (as I have), you can actually "hear" her in your head... her terrific personality shines through... no kidding! My job is training and development in a 500+ person industrial company, and I've purchased copies for every woman in our organization. I recommend this to anyone who really wants to maximize their career potential... and have a blast doing it!
