Simon & Schuster The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You: Command an Audience and Sell Your Way to Success

Absolutely loved this book. I even did a little post about it on Instagram where the author shared it on her Instagram page. So inspirational. Must-read.

Book arrived early, however I was a bit disappointed with the cover.. while the pages are good.. a little bumped with the cover..

Lydia is clearly a natural on stage in front of large audiences, but she's also a natural born writer. You're sure to love both the snappy pace of this book as well as its message of empowerment. This is not a person for whom everything was delivered on a silver spoon and her personal stories of how she hustled, how she talked her way in after being told no and how she worked (and worked!) to achieve her own dreams are truly inspiring. While you may not be in position to hob knob with celebrities on a massive stage (I sure am not!), she takes to care to ensure that her suggestions and lessons can be implemented by anyone, anywhere and she gives you the specifics on how to do that both through her writing and through the "case studies" (written by other successful women) that are sprinkled throughout the book. One of the passages that most resonated for me was when she wrote about being disabused of the notion that by working hard and being good at her job, she was bound to be noticed and rewarded accordingly (in the way of promotions and salary increases); turns out, that's just not the case and the only one who can and will advocate for your own advancement is YOU! Of course that all makes perfect sense but it's something I needed to read (despite being 15 years in to a law career) to really absorb. It seems that so many women need "permission" to actively self-advocate, identify their dreams and have an actionable path for achieving those dreams. Well, ladies, your permission just came in the form of a bright pink and red book that I cannot recommend more highly!

I love this bookDefinitely improved myself regarding business and sales.If you are in your early twenties I would recommend this book

Bestes Buch seit ganz langer Zeit !
