REVIEW:


This is an amazing book that can help anyone who want to be successful in their career - whether you are just starting, fresh out of college, or looking to move up in your current professional role, feeling stuck, or lack the business acumen to push yourself to your full potential. This book should be required reading for anyone who want to succeed in business or in their professional career. The book is very easy to read and provides an amazing guide on how to handle potential issues, and problems and more importantly is how to tackle problems you may encounter and what to do about it.


As women, we often are very afraid to speak our minds and say what we really want to say. This book will help how to encourage and build confidence, and guide on how to communicate with people in the professional environment. You may be in a field that is male dominated and need to find your way to finding success without feeling intimidated or afraid.


This book is very well written and will definitely help in achieving success in your professional career and in business. This is a must read and I highly recommend this book to every woman I know.


AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT:

Dion Lim is a Emmy Award-winning TV news anchor and reporter at ABC7/KGO-TV in San Francisco, CA. She has made her mark as a minority climbing the competitive TV news ladder. But she stands apart as a professional journalist who is willing to share her own stories with viewers and readers, as well. (Just ask her about the time she anchored an 11pm newscast with a chicken wing bone stuck in her neckline!)

A sought-after speaker and emcee, she has hosted events with everyone from news legend Dan Rather to Hollywood celebrities like Patrick Dempsey and community groups, such as a leadership summit of 600+ attendees for immigrant women. She has contributed to the Huffington Post by Arianna Huffington’s personal invitation and has also written a series for Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls. She has been named one of America’s Top 18 Leaders in TV Under 34 by Broadcasting & Cable Magazine.

In her new book, coming out in 2019, Dion will share her stories — and the crucial lessons for women that she has learned along the way.

When she’s not writing, Dion and her husband, a professional poker player, are adventurous travelers who share a love of food, dachshunds, and the movie Crazy Rich Asians.
