Summary



"I Shouldn't Be Telling You This is packed with practical lessons she's learned over a long tenure as a leader."-- Fast Company

Whether you've just settled into your first work cubicle and have no clue how to go after the success you crave, or you've already got a sweet little office but aren't sure what's required to take your career to the next level, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This gives you all the secrets you need to become a success, go big with it, and then savor every second. It is jam-packed with insider strategies, interviews with mega successful women, and advice from Kate White's own career running five major magazines (including the best-selling women's magazine in the world, Cosmopolitan).

In this book, Kate shows you how to be in the know, master the learning curve, make bold moves, and ultimately, have the career you've always lusted for! 5 SECRETS EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO KNOW: * Land a Job You're Truly Passionate About * Use "Bitch Envy" to Your Advantage * Radiate Confidence and Get Buzzed about (without Worrying What Other People Think) * Ask for the Money Want-and Get It *Manage Your Career and Not Just Your Job (It's a Whole Different Ballgame!) But more than anything, Kate says, you have to GO BIG OR GO HOME-make the bold moves and always keep the big picture in mind. It might be tackling a project no one else is taking on and nailing it-and making sure your boss knows it, or how to develop a golden gut that will help you to break the rules the right way, so that you always come out shining.

In I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, Kate White shares the kind of secrets no boss is ever likely to spill-all with her irreverent wit and candid style.
