The Gender Penalty

Written by Anneli Blundell

Narrated by Anneli Blundell

* Feeling undervalued, overlooked or ignored at work?
* Want practical strategies to get ahead?
* Want to succeed as a woman without changing who you are?
Work is a game originally developed by men, for men. Though the players have changed, the rules to succeed have not. When today’s talented women play like men, they often get punished for not being ‘ladylike’, and when they play like women, they can get punished for not being ‘leaderlike’. Welcome to the gender penalties that sideline women from the game of work.
The Gender Penalty is a playbook for navigating career success in a male-dominated environment. If you want to stand out without stepping on toes, get what you want without compromising who you are, and make your mark without becoming someone you’re not, this book is for you.
The gender penalties covered are:
Confidence – being seen as arrogant
Communication – being interrupted, talked over or ignored
Boasting – being expected to be humble
Strength – being seen as aggressive
Motherhood – being seen as uncommitted to work
Packed with easy-to-follow practical strategies, insights, case studies and stories, (and a bunch of bonus resources) this book will help you not only overcome the gender penalties on the field, but also change the game of work for good – for yourself and other women.
