Inhaltsangabe

Smart communication strategies to help professional women break into the C-suite—and thrive when they arrive!

With only 5.8% of CEO positions in the S&P 500 held by women, it’s clear that there are more women who deserve a seat at the table than actually have one. In No Explanation Required!, Carol Sankar gives you the strategies you need to create the success you deserve?today. As founder of the global leadership firm, The Confidence Factor for Women, her goal is to ensure you deliver decisions and other communications with confidence?no “explanations” required!

Loaded with real-life examples and backed by proprietary research, No Explanation Required! coaches you on how to speak up for yourself, stop debating your decisions, and eliminate “limiting” language. In example after example, it becomes clear how these too-frequent expressions (“I’m sorry,” “Excuse me,” “I’ll get back to you”) can strip you of your authority and credibility.

Instead, you’ll discover positive, practical ways to assert your confidence and master communication at work, with chapters that include “The Self Promotion Gap,” “Perception and Performance,” “What’s Like Got to Do with It?,” and “The 8-Minute Rule”—how to create 8-minute micro conversations and connections. Every chapter offers key takeaways you’ll want to put into effect immediately—and keep in mind always.

With the tactics in No Explanation Required! mastered, you’ll be better equipped to stop explaining and start negotiating?for gender parity, better compensation, opportunities, and so much more.

“In her book, No Explanation Required!, Carol Sankar creates a space for ambitious women to really acknowledge and overcome the kind of limiting beliefs and internalized sexism that hinders the career advancement of many women today. Filled with relatable stories and practical solutions, this book helps us learn how to navigate the dualities of what it means to be a woman and a leader in the workplace. By including concepts like the K.I.S.S. Principle and the 8-Minute Rule, along with scripts and confidence building activities, Carol equips women everywhere with the tools, terms, and techniques needed to be seen heard and respected anywhere. This book was truly an eye-opening, personally empowering read.”
—LaShanda Henry, online business coach and founder of SistaSense for Women Entrepreneurs

“No Explanation Required! is a book that ambitious women need NOW. Carol brilliantly wrote this book filled with data and relevant stories of why women aren’t standing in their full power to ask for what they deserve. The challenges that women experience in the workplace start long before we even graduate high school and the flurry of double standards during our careers make it difficult for women to ascend up the ladder of success. This book will clear the path for women to excel in their careers and shatter the glass ceiling that has plagued ambitious women for long enough. Bravo Carol for offering the masterpiece to the world!”
—Christy Rutherford, advisor to executive leaders and founder of ChristyRutherford.com

If you are motivated to get to higher grounds and do the work, this is the roadmap and tangible advice you have been looking for. You are worth fighting for, and it starts with you.”
—Edwige A. Robinson, expert technologist and transformational senior leader
