I was drawn to Marcia Dempster's book because I am a fan of the 33 Ways series. At first, I didn't think it would be relevant to me since I'm not in the tech industry, but I was pleasantly surprised. Marcia's book should really be called "How to Succeed as a Woman in a Male-Dominated World!" In the first chapter, Maricia suggests that women should invite themselves to key meetings and events, even if they're not officially invited, such as bourbon tastings or cigar clubs. As we all know, these informal gatherings can have a significant impact on one's career.
Marcia, drawing from her own experiences in the tech industry, offers practical tips on networking and self-assertion. She shares personal anecdotes of her triumphs and struggles in both her professional and personal life. A chapter that I found particularly interesting was “Business is Personal,” where she rejects the old adage of “It's not personal, it's business.” According to Marcia, establishing a personal connection with coworkers and superiors is crucial for job satisfaction and cultivating healthy support systems.
I found this book to be easy to read and engaging, with real-life examples from Marcia's experiences. Some of the stories are amusing, while others are poignant or even shocking. I highly recommend this book to any woman working in a field that's typically dominated by men. Marcia's advice on how to navigate the challenges of being a woman in tech is valuable for all women, and even men can benefit from reading this book and learning how to include their female colleagues in key meetings and events.
