The How to Win at Work Book

About the Book: 

Why is it that every book about winning in business seems to be written by a male CEO? Probably because over 90% of the leadership positions in the world are held by men.

Women are not winning at work – but Gill Whitty-Collins wants to change that. Women represent 50% of the world’s population, intelligence and competence: why should they not represent 50% of its leadership?

My goal is that one day you will be one of the women in a room of leaders that is 50% women.

I know what women need to do to win at work. I share it in keynotes, in workshops, in coaching – now I’m going to share it with you all here.

In this empowering book, Gill Whitty-Collins builds on her first acclaimed book Why Men Win at Work…and how we can make inequality history and fearlessly tackles all the invisible, unconscious forces that create the male dominant workplace that holds women back. 

Gill draws on her extensive knowledge and experience as a leader, manager, workshop facilitator, coach & mentor to equip working women to overcome the career barriers they face.  She combines insights, strategies, action plans & exercises that will empower and enable you to unleash your full potential and to win at work. 

Think of The How to Win at Work Book as your personal Coaching Manual. Clear, practical and genuinely empowering, it is the career guide that belongs on every professional woman’s desk.

Reviews: 

The career guide every woman should have within reach, whether she’s finding her feet, climbing, or staying exactly where she wants to be. This is the professional handbook women will wish they’d been handed 10 years ago. Essential reading. HOOD MAGAZINE

Praise for Why Men Win At Work:

A must read for everyone working for a big corporation, this is a powerful & insightful book on the need for true gender equality in the workplace. It will help you better understand your potential as an employee and manager. I only wish I had read it when I was younger, it’s going to be mandatory reading for my daughters & son before they start their careers. LORRAINE CANDY, author of Mum, What’s Wrong with You?’: 101 Things Only Mothers of Teenage Girls Know

A fantastically astute and compelling exploration of equality that everyone who works needs to read – both men and women. VIV GROSKO author of How to Own the Room

This book has changed my world view on gender equality in a way  others have not. I now have a level of awareness and understanding that was simply not there before. JO SCAIFE CEO of Clearblue®

This book tells the inconvenient truth about the gender inequality issue, providing some real deep insights into what truly gets in the way of driving diversity - even in companies that are trying to do the right thing. It may be uncomfortable reading for some but crucial for driving the needed change to create a long-term advantage. PAUL POLMAN Founder & Chair, Imagine & Ex CEO, Unilever
