About “Ready, Set…RISK!” – Positive Strategies and Tactics for Women to Turn Career Risk into Opportunity”
In general, women approach career-related decisions that entail risk differently than men do, and take fewer risks in their careers than men do. Are you the type of person who regularly takes career risks but is disappointed with returns, or someone who does not take career risks because you are concerned about the consequences? Do you only have an appetite for limited risk so need every career risk to count, or are you a serial career risk taker who wishes to set new highs in your risk-taking returns as you progress in your career? In this book Daniella Levitt explores why risk taking is an essential part of any woman’s career management and advancement strategy. Ready, Set…RISK! is the indispensable ‘how to’ of successful risk taking in your career.
Ready, Set…RISK! is available on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble websites. Click on the links below to take you directly to the web pages where you can order the book.
