Usually ships within 3 to 5 working days Description of From Kitchen Sink to Boardroom TableAn engaging collection of stories, depicting the emotional and physical traumas of 22 women. The women, from different cultures, races and economic backgrounds, recount the moment when their lives changed irrevocably, either through unforeseen circumstances or mistakes of their own making. Yet, through sheer determination and courage they managed to overcome what at first appeared to be overwhelming odds.Each chapter consists of two stories told by the women themselves. Professor Scase analyses the stories in terms of life skills, gives a list of self-help tips and finally relate those life skills to the urgently required skills in today's corporate world. There's Mary who gets involved in a violent relationship, becomes a drug addict and finds herself living on the streets, yet overcomes it all and now owns a successful business. Blaney's concise and assured narrative is enriched by Professor Richard Scase's immense knowledge and understanding of the business environment. Together they show how women can utilise and empower themselves with those skills which are often undervalued at home, yet are vital and highly sought-after in the workplace. Title Information
