Pushback: How Smart Women Ask - and Stand Up - for What They Want, 2nd Edition

Summary

In Pushback: How Smart Women Ask—and Stand Up—for What They Want, top leadership consultant Selena Rezvani reveals how women can secure promotion opportunities, plum assignments, and higher pay by standing their ground and pushing back for what's rightfully theirs. This revised and expanded version features interviews from dozens of executive leaders, including Darla Price, President of Ogilvy New York, Jen Fisher, Chief Well-being Officer at Deloitte, and Jayshree Seth, Chief Science Advocate and Corporate Scientist at 3M.

Rezvani also shares exclusive data highlights from hundreds of professional women across industries, sourced from over five years of online surveys, to reveal startling findings on confidence, self-advocacy, and negotiation. In this book, listeners will learn a reliable and methodical approach to navigating tough conversations; the effect of intersectionality, bias, and internalization of these experiences on workplace negotiations; and how professional women can activate internal and external networks to support their negotiations and proposals—and instill confidence in those they mentor.

Pushback offers listeners looking to accelerate their career paths the unedited truth about how women have advocated their way to the top and triumphed—and how you can, too.
