Customer Reviews

A very helpful book............

Thank you for helping me to advance professionally in my career as anAdministrative Assistant. I have been searching for a way to gain respectfrom my Directors. I have tried many things to gain respect I became moreorganized, learned to improve my communication style and to act moreprofessional. However, something was still missing. It was the way Idressed and I did not realize it until I had the opportunity to speak withDawn and read her book.Prior to reading the book, I would look through clothing catalogs and findreally cute clothes. They may have been cute to me but they were notprofessional. I was so thrilled and excited about the tips you gave me to"professionalize" my wardrobe because of the upbeat and positive way youpresented the information. Immediately, I began to change the way Idressed and soon I began to reap the results I wanted. The Directorsbegan to listen to me, I was handed high profile projects and people tooknotice of me and have complimented me on my new look. Even more important,I feel more positive at work and can concentrate on getting my job done nomatter what the world hands me that day.

Transitioning

I am transitioning my career and was at a loss on how to present myself in my new career direction. This book provided me with the information I needed to be me and present myself professionally. That's what unique about this book compared to others - Dawn show's you how to be your own person. Thank You!

Invaluable Advice

The information Dawn shares is fresh and practical. Gone are the days of "dress-for-success" in clothes that don't feel comfortable. Dawn shares with us advice on how to dress in our own style with a wardrobe that makes us feel good as individuals and still allows us to meet our professional goals. Her knowledge of the "real" business world shows through as she teaches how to find our individual style in colors and textures that flatter us the most and boost our professional (and casual!) confidence. What a refreshing change from "blue suits and power ties!" Thank you Dawn!

Finally a book with practical advise.

I read this book several times. Each time I would pick out one thing to improve on. Once I accomplished that I'd go back and pick out another item to work on. It was so easy because Dawn is showing you how to be yourself and be your professional best.

This book was simple,concise and to the point.

The book was easy to read, simple, concise and to the point. If we take each idea and implement them over time, then do we see the unbelievable results Dawn talks about: saving time, not spending alot of money, gaining respect and career growth. The skill of presence she teaches is so important to our careers and self-esteem. Thank you Dawn for sharing practical information which I could make a part of my life easily.
