Terrific book! The author makes a convincing case for gender diversity in the workplace in a most entertaining way, sharing stories of her own experiences with wit and charm. For men, the book is an eye opening look into a world many of us didn't realize was still very much alive. I enjoyed the book and highly recommend it to men and women alike. I look forward to future offerings from this author.
Being a white male, I've attended countless corporate diversity/AA meetings. The point of almost every one of these meetings was to communicate to me that I had somehow caused all these problems personally. So as I read the start of the book - I found that it triggered a historical gut-level defensive reaction. As I continued to read the book, this reaction softened as I began to appreciate Ms Bohling's perspective. The book doesn't put all the blame on me (or men in general), but instead allows and even encourages me to be helpful - and gives me room and permission to be helpful - without having to apologize for all the things that others have done. It's a breath of fresh air in a subject so often prone to blaming and victimization.
I love this book! What a refreshing perspective on a corporate culture that many of us (women) have encountered throughout our careers. Wendy Bohling is humorous, practical and direct in this engaging book that guides women with powerful tools to navigate the workplace and their lives for years to come. Thanks Wendy!
Cowgirl up is an engaging read with a nice balance between stories and facts. Not only does it provide insights and benefits for achieving optimal results from workplace diversity and gender intelligence, but the information and advice for dealing with unconscious bias and how the sexes process things differently is applicable to any male-female interactions. And while I was reading the book, I experienced exactly what Wendy was sharing. I expressed to my husband, my discordant emotions around a pending decision. As I learned a couple of days later, my comment triggered him to re-evaluate the situation within a different context. I sensed the connections and intuitively had reservations. He needed to digest and talk out the options in a facts-based way. Without being aware of it, we both respected each others process - and we instantly came to the same conclusion.The next day while I was reading Cowgirl Up, the book succinctly explained the reasons behind this interchange. A coincidence? I think not! Thank you Wendy for your wit and wisdom and advice! I am now more consciously aware of these difference and look forward to more deliberate and productive collaborations with my high-tech colleagues.
In Cowgirl Up! Ms. Bohling skillfully knits true stories and lessons learned into valuable take-aways - without the pretension and guilt trips found in other books about navigating the corporate "frontier." The book is quite entertaining and full of authentic straight talk, but always with a purpose. The "cow girl" references set a whimsical context for us to take on the challenges of improving our impact in organizations, while at the same time leaving political correctness behind and not wasting our energy over-analyzing everything. There are many succinct, but very useful recommendations, such as Ms. Bohling's take on “Speaking the language of the cowboys – You can be right or you can be effective. It’s not what you say. It’s how you say it.” I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve organizational effectiveness through better team design. I also recommend it for anyone who wants to better understand and leverage their own unique personal brand.
