The Not So Sexy Truth: Women, Men, and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

by Catherine Dolan

In The Not So Sexy Truth About Women and Men in the Workplace, Dolan shares her personal and professional story managing sexual harassment in the workplace. She shares it all not as gossip, but as objective, public information as well as timely and easy-to-implement advice to deal with it. She encourages men and women to educate themselves, and, in turn, feel empowered to make in-the-moment decisions that allow them to stand up for themselves – and keep thriving in their respective careers. She willingly takes on the modern crisis of sexual harassment in the workplace all while giving empowering perspective on how to identify if you’re in that situation – and how to rise above it powerfully. Dolan is real, admitting she didn’t always play it strategically-right with several men she discusses candidly in the book; but, if anything, she learned timeless, important lessons about men, women, and herself that she now shares with the world. Available for pre-order next month, The Not So Sexy Truth About Women and Men in the Workplace is an important read for today’s professional who is hungry for success – and not willing to let anything get in his or her way, especially someone else’s sexual advances or harassment.

[Hao Ca Vien · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very deep book on the subject of sexual harassment. Dolan is very insightful and witty even though she slugs through heavy material. The Not So Sexy Truth is a worthwhile read for those uninitiated into the plight of sexual harassment; you will get a new lens for understanding how it happens and what is not appropriate behavior.
