review 1: 10/21/2014I went out and picked up the hard copy of the book - I simply felt it HAD to be better than the audio version. And guess what? It was! The book is well structured and has some excellent ideas. I enjoyed it very much, and recommend it for any woman in the workplace. However, I can't recommend the audio version - try as I might, I just couldn't get past the narrator's grating and sarcastic voice and delivery. 7/24/2014Tried listening to this title via Audible but the narrator had a dreadful voice. Sounded like one of Marge Simpson's sisters. I will have to read the print version; I simply couldn't get past the voice issue.
review 2: There are books out there on women and negotiation and some are better than others- consider this one in the "bett... moreer" category. Using her research of women executives from different industries, the author identifies why we need to negotiate and what's at stake if we don't. I definitely think the tips in this book can help me make a bigger impact- not just when negotiating, but in contentious meetings and debates too. The use of many scenarios, firsthand stories and research data points reinforces the overall message but keeps it interesting and down to earth. less
