review 1: listened to it on audio in the car. it felt like a conversation I would have with a good coworker or mentor. not a book on how to succeed in business but! more like a conversation on all the aspects.... communication key, dress, hosting, dining etiquette, manners, cultural sensitivity, personal stories of being the woman working big positions with men ( don't cry, scream or curse). most topics that are not in the big business books but smalls things that can help you stand out or understand nuances of work not taught in school.
review 2: I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as "French Women Don't Get Fat", but I still found myself nodding my head and laughing over her examples and stories. And while I have no drive to "get ahead" in business, I did specifical
... morely appreciate it when she pointed out that we are so much more than our job or job title. Guiliano touches on every aspect of business and life, from creating a "look" and looking polished, to how to entertain (both out and at home), to how to travel light, when to "fire" your boss, and the art of the thank you note. Certainly worth your time to read, but check it out from a library. less
