Book excerpt: “Daniella has compiled a diverse and distinct set of experiences and views as she helps the reader assess perspectives in risk.” —Connie Lindsey, Executive Vice President, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility and Global Diversity and Inclusion, Northern Trust “Every time a woman chooses security and the safe bet over something new, she is missing the opportunity to achieve greater success and fulfillment in work and in life. Ready, Set...RISK! is filled with real-life stories that are engaging and inspiring....a very practical guide to developing the confidence and the ability to take calculated risks that lead to great reward.” — Debbie Storey, Senior Vice President, Talent Development and Chief Diversity Officer, AT&T In general, women approach career-related decisions that entail risk differently than men do, and take fewer risks in their careers than men do. Are you the type of person who regularly takes career risks but is disappointed with returns, or someone who does not take career risks because you are concerned about the consequences? Do you only have an appetite for limited risk so need every career risk to count, or are you a serial career risk taker who wishes to set new highs in your risk-taking returns as you progress in your career? In this book Daniella Levitt explores why risk taking is an essential part of any woman’s career management and advancement strategy. Ready, Set...RISK! is the indispensable ‘how to’ of successful risk taking in your career.
