Please join us for an open discussion about books that can enhance our lives and careers. Formatted specifically to fit into busy lifestyles, this winter our PWCC Book Club will be reading “Likeable Badass,” by Alison Fragale.
How do women thread the needle of kindness and competence in the workplace? How can women earn credit for their accomplishments, negotiate better, and navigate complex office politics without losing the goodwill of their peers? Fragale investigated and determined that many women's workplace issues boil down to what psychologists call status: the perception of them by others. No amount of power—no degree, title, or paycheck—will raise a woman's workplace stature unless it also affects how others see her. Acknowledging this roadblock, Fragale pulls back the curtain on how we can change how others see us by developing our standing as a "likeable badass." By cultivating perceptions of warmth and assertiveness, women can achieve the kind of reputation that leads to a seat at the table and a fulfilling career path. Let’s read, reflect, and show the world what happens when women finally get credit for their greatness!
