Climbing The Ladder In Stilettos

What, you prefer Jimmy Choos to Manolo Blahniks? Actually, what truly matters to speaker-motivator Lewis is not the consumable wearable brand but the personal brand. Ten rules form her foundation for a woman’s success (and, perhaps, for the success of some members of the opposite sex as well), starting with the developing of a purpose statement (why you do what you do) to the recognition of a different kind of success via a different kind of career path. Each question–for example, how do I get from “great idea” to “dream come true?”–is first explained by its challenge, then positioned in terms of how-to-conquer strategy, along with (natch) personal anecdotes and other professionals’ stories. So the answer, specifically, to that question? Organize your own board of directors. For sure, Lewis is a crack writer–and entertainer. Yet many principles overlap, becoming somewhat undifferentiated from each other, and many echo other authors’ good advice. At the end, remember that imitation is surely the sincerest form of flattery. Barbara Jacobs
