Reinforces what we say http://www.ceowomensclub.com/categories/Videos-Successful-Business-Women and illustrate about it is better to create your own fit versus trying to fit into someone else’s version of what’s right for you. It also reinforces our search for meaning and getting satisfaction and growth out of our work

The “Don’t Bring It to Work” refers to old, ingrained patterns from childhood that get in the way of optimum success. These “its” actually limit individuality. Here is how “it” works. When stress hits the hot button we are all prone to revert to patterns that were there as children to help us survive and hopefully be safe. These patterns show up when we are anxious and unsure; they are better off being transformed which is the “meat’ of the book. I have a sense you would really like it once you see it fosters individuality and creativity, not diminishes it.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Sylvia

“dislike” not “disklike”
and “if you can’t bring ‘it’ to work — not “can” bring ‘it’ to work.

Yikes…..apologizes.

However, as a person who believes that we must never check our individuality at the door — I really have a gut wrenching ‘disklike’ for the name of Ms. LaFair’s book. As a matter of fact — if you can bring ‘it’ to work — where might one bring ‘it’? Ah yes, to the counselor’s couch! Yes, let’s deny who we are in order to gain access to the executive suite. No thanks! I’ll find leadership elsewhere — in my own company, on my own terms. And, there are many men who will back me up on this one!
p.s. I haven’t read the book — so yes — technically I have no right to comment……its just that title….sheeeesh!
