a gem.

I would absolutely consider Kimberly Guifoyle's Making the Case: How to Be Your Own Best Advocate a professional development guide that just about everyone can get something out of. Whether at work or at home, we all want to make the most of our lives. We all deal with conflict. We all want SOMETHING. Well? Go and get it.

 

Topics in her book include: getting hired/promoted, mid-life career changes, personal finances, advocating for your health, minimizing family drama, maintaining strong friendships, caring for aging parents, raising strong kids, etc. Keep in mind, advocating for yourself isn't about arguing or starting any sort of fight or drama (although weak people may tell you that). Advocating for yourself is about knowing what you want, the facts, and being educated, being clear about your needs and what you deserve. By sharing her failure and triumphs in her one of a kind voice, Kim will become your biggest asset. So? Let's start now.
