Book Synopsis

Describing five ways in which women typically cope with the business environment, this book tells how women can bring their whole selves, including their feminine sides, to their careers—and make it work. Readers will learn from practical advice, stories and examples how they can move toward a state of "self-alignment".

Booknews

Bancroft notes that while women possess many qualities that are sought after in today's business environment, the same business community often makes it hard for those who possess those skills to succeed. She then offers practical advice on moving toward greater self-alignment and authenticity--a strategy critical to both success and fulfillment. Annotation c.
