Motivational!

Loved loved loved this book!! Hearing so many successful women's stories and struggles really helped me in my career. I Love how the author didn't hold back on the reality that women face, without making the book a bash session against men. I was sad to reach the end of the book. Five stars!!

Fabulous stories, meaningful tips, & entertaining too!

I love this book! The stories by so many successful women will give you a glimpse into the struggles they face, no doubt you will see yourself in their situations Learning how these accomplished women navigated office politics, their inner critic, and the business environment is inspiring and motivating.

I listened to the audio version and Carrie narrated the book herself. This is always my preference because you can hear the authors passion and the advice connects more strongly.

Pick up a copy of Work IT and get ready to learn from fabulous women who have created amazing careers!
