Discover the "must-listen for every smart, capable woman who wants to succeed"-a guide on how to communicate with maximum impact in the workplace that's the new book in the New York Times bestselling Nice Girls Don't series (Anne Fisher, Fortune.com).

How many times have you asked yourself why you didn't speak up in a meeting? Or pushed for the raise you deserved? Or agreed to take on someone else's task because you didn't want to rock the boat? Whether the answer is once or ten times or more, the reason is the same: It's because you're a nice girl who goes along to get along. But staying quiet and being ignored are not paths to achievement.

Now, in Nice Girls Don't Speak Up or Stand Out, Dr. Lois Frankel shows you how to be an effective communicator and advocate for yourself. From the basics of speaking up to navigating sticky situations and mastering the art of influencing others, this audiobook provides step-by-step advice using real-life examples and powerful tools such as:

• Be a broken record
• Choose powerful word
• Never say no
• Enlist advocates
• And many more -- in bonus materials for extra tools in your pocket

Dr Frankel chose the format of this new audio-first work carefully, with the mission of creating an interactive and impactful listen, interweaved with actionable recommendations, real-life anecdotes, and concrete examples of not only what to say in various scenarios, but how to say it. Nice Girls Don't Speak Up or Stand Out dives deeply into nearly one hundred everyday challenges women face related to communication.

With Dr. Lois Frankel as your guide, you can learn how to express yourself confidently, courageously, and clearly -- and start taking charge of your career.

Useful and easy to follow advice

What I love about Frankel's books is that she gives such easy to follow advice, even for complicated issues. not only does she give advice, but she illustrates how it should be done and what that sounds like. As a first time manager, I get so much out of her books. This one is no different. I recommend her books to all my female colleagues, and have gifted them to my staff.

i am a huge fan of Dr. Lois. a must listen. it's a book you'll want to buy.

Thank you

Great narration, I was actually searching for a different book with the words nice girl in the title, but I was really pleased to find this book instead because I don't like books that focus hardcore on all of your childhood abuse, I don't like books that are super deep like that because I believe that my power is in the here and now and I certainly don't want to rehash old garbage. I enjoyed the straightforward manner. Soothing voice.

A Critical Guide to Self-Advocacy in the Workplace

I was a big fan of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office and this audiobook is a fitting addition to Dr. Frankel’s Nice Girls series. She provides lots of great advice on how to make yourself be heard in the workplace.

No longer will women need to wait to be called on or suffer through “Mansplaining”. This books provides the strategies and encouragement to speak up and let your ideas be heard.

It is not so engaging as I though

But the author provides good examples and tricks necessary in modern workforce. It's good that the author is actually reading the book. it's a big plus. I guess the book didn't make that much difference for me to give it a 5 stars review but it is solid 4.
