Career Coach Marsha Haygood Offers Savvy, Sensitive Advice to Working Women
Marsha Haygood, president of the career coaching firm StepWise Associates, and coauthor of One World’s critically acclaimed THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS, talks corporate success, networking, and work/life balance in this new YouTube clip.
The authors–Elaine Meryl Brown, Haygood, and Rhonda Joy McLean–all high-level black executives, seek to “support women who do not always have access to coaches, mentors, or the ‘Old Boys’ Network,” and their professional advice is savvy and sensitive to the challenges women of color face in the workplace.
THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS offers self-affirming advice to rev up a career, complete with “MAMAisms”-what the authors describe as aphorisms and “familiar terms, both practical and spiritual, that we grew up with and can draw upon as we travel the road to leadership success.”
The authors revisit and refresh familiar tips on staying positive, honing skill sets, having a plan of action and following through, networking, and avoiding common workplace dilemmas. They also provide valuable advice on achieving work/life balance and finding guidance, mentorship, and support. Offering sound advice, practical tools, and warm wisdom, this book will help black professional women get and stay on track and maximize their abilities.
