Not Just Lucky

Product Description

Jamila Rizvi has noticed an epidemic of luckiness among Australian women. Whenever any successful woman is asked how she achieved something special, the response is invariably- 'I was just lucky.' Even after they've overcome the societal, cultural and structural barriers still in place for women in the workplace, they don't feel like they can claim the credit for their success. How can we give women the confidence to realise this 'good luck' is actually down to their hard work, talent and drive? Determined to address this confidence deficit, Jamila has put together the perfect toolkit to help women stop undervaluing themselves at work. Drawing on case studies, detailed research and her own experience, Not Just Lucky will show you how to negotiate a better salary, how to avoid burnout, how to be more confident in public speaking, and how to ignore the nasty inner voice that tells you you're not quite good enough. And, once you've well and truly kicked the insecurity habit, it'll show you how to use your courage and success to lift other women up, to start fighting for equality at work for all. Warm, witty and wise, Not Just Lucky is for anyone who's ever felt undervalued, overlooked or undeserving at work. It will give you everything you need to ditch the doubt and fight for success. Because you're not just lucky - you're brilliant.Jamila Rizvi has noticed an epidemic of luckiness among Australian women.
