Nice Girls Still Don’t Get the Corner Office with Dr. Lois Frankel

Why do some women struggle to reach leadership positions despite their talents? In this episode of Beyond the Bestseller, I talk with Dr. Lois Frankel, bestselling author of Nice Girls Still Don’t Get the Corner Office, about how childhood messages and societal expectations shape women’s behavior in the workplace—and how to overcome them. We explore: The history of her iconic book series and why its lessons remain relevant 20 years later. Common mistakes women make in the workplace, like smiling too much or asking questions instead of making statements. How to navigate microaggressions and advocate for yourself without compromising who you are. Why success for women doesn’t mean acting like men and how to develop effective communication techniques that align with your values. The connection between leadership, negotiation, and self-awareness—and how women can leverage these skills to thrive. Dr. Frankel’s practical insights and candid advice will inspire you to rethink how you show up in your career, advocate for yourself, and achieve your goals on your terms.
