Empowered & enriched

Lover her seminars, love her book, love Dondi. It's great to have my mentoring skills affirmed and to learn new approaches to those challenges I face every day. Can't wait for the next two!!!

Good info, terrific ideas, entertaining to read!

Dondi's wisdom and sense of humor combine to deliver really insightful, powerful and useful lessons on growing your career. It may have been written for women, but there's a lot in here for us guys as well! Her humor and story telling style make reading this book a delight... it's not a bitter pill - or a "pill" at all - more like a night at the movies! If you've ever had the pleasure of hearing Dondi speak in person (as I have), you can actually "hear" her in your head... her terrific personality shines through... no kidding! My job is training and development in a 500+ person industrial company, and I've purchased copies for every woman in our organization. I recommend this to anyone who really wants to maximize their career potential... and have a blast doing it!

I love this book!

I own this book and I love it. If you are a woman in business, this is a must have. It's a brilliant reference book that needs to sit on your shelf and be available to you for any situation. In this book, you'll learn how to better manage your time (or your relationship to time!), your resources, how to deal with bad bosses, difficult co-workers, maximize your potential, make yourself invaluable...I could go on and on! As a business owner I have already put many of the ideas and suggestions into play and I want more! My book is filled with notes in the margins, highlighted sections and bookmarks. It's been better studied than half of my text books from college. The author feels like a friend, a mentor, and a personal trainer all wrapped up together as she encourages and exhorts you on how to be a woman AND succeed. Five stars. No downsides. Brilliantly done. Can't wait for more from this author!!

Help for both women and men in the workplace

I have read this book from cover to cover and have recommended it to both friends and family. I wish that I had this help during transitions and change in my previous job because this would have been a tremendous help in giving me better direction and a more positive way to handle difficult situations. I applaud Dondi for her brilliant advise and believe that many more people will receive a huge benefit from her insite that she has captured between the pages of this book. Thank heaven people like Dondi are here to help all of us.

This book is awesome!

Im a store manager, I loved it so much that i bought another copy to leave at work so my girls could read it. I think if you are given the tools for sucess there is no way you won't suceed. This book is real and it's motivating! It keeps you wanting more, so you really don't want to put it down until your finished. This author is amazing! I love her!
