Contrary To Culture
Ericka Spradley
To tell me, or any other woman that work-life balance doesn’t exist is saying that it is impossible to experience or that you can’t have a clear separation between professional and personal priorities.
Respectfully, I disagree. A woman can do anything she wants as well as whatever she wants. Contrary To Culture, you can have a successful career AND live a soft life.
This book has dedicated chapters for any woman who is ready to address the following and MORE:
· Toxic company culture that interrupts your ability to advocate for yourself while honoring your preferences.
· Societal labels that undermine your strengths, self-care and career success.
· Settling for work without work-life balance.
· Losses in compensation and stagnant career advancement when more money + mobility are available options.
There’s also an added bonus dedicated to the unique experience Black women face in the workplace.
It’s been said that a cheater never wins. Well, tell that to the women who haven’t applied the cheat codes (solutions and strategies) contained in Contrary To Culture. My clients are winning and have been for quite some time, now it’s your turn.
