Pitch Like a Girl offers proven techniques to maximize a womant instinctive strengths and effectiveness in the workplace.
Despite steady advancement, part of the reason women still struggle to succeed in business is the discomfort they feel doing anything that feels like self-promotion. Thats why Ronna Lichtenberg, corporate veteran turned highly sought-after management consultant, developed a program for women that works with their unique advantages.
Starting with recent developments in brain sex research and moving through social stereotypes, Lichtenberg takes a fresh look at how women relate to work and shows them how to use their gifts to get what they want. The book includes easy-to-use tools, tips on managing communication styles, and exercises that have been honed in Lichtenbergs many workshops.
Whether giving women pragmatic advice on what to do about that infuriating boss, how to know how much money they should be making (and how to get it), or how to follow up without feeling like a beggar or a stalker, Lichtenberg is real, and really funny at the same time. Her advice ushers in a new world of possibilities for women who are ready for a success that feels right.

CONTENTS
Introduction

The shelves of bookstores and libraries are filled with volumes of self-help books that promise you can achieve your loftiest goals in lifeif only youll change some fundamental aspect of your behavior or character. If only you are willing to give up carbohydrates forever and commit to a lifetime of cheese and nuts, youll be able to lose 50 pounds in a nanosecond. If only you start thinking like a rich man and acting like a rich man, you can be rich too, and you can teach your kids to make a bundle while youre at it. If only you adopt these seven habits, nine rules, twelve steps, five strategies touted by successful, powerful, famous, or infamous business leaders, athletes, coaches, motivational speakers, multimillionaires, and all-around swell guys and gals, you too can be successful and powerful, not to mention model thin and enviably wealthy to boot.

Im exhausted just thinking about it.

Like most women I know, Im already too busy with the various responsibilities of my life to feel up for the challenge of putting yet another item on my To Do listand certainly not as gargantuan a task as a character makeover. Even if I had the time, I wouldnt exactly be leaping at the chance. I resent the underlying implication that there is something fundamentally wrong with the person I am now, that I have to change who I am to get what I want. Even if I could change, Im not convinced the strategy would work, that changing the person I am will help me achieve the desired results. Actually, I know it wouldnt work because I spent a lot of years trying to do it and eventually figured out that it wasnt the way to go.

Which leads me to the heretical thought that is at the very heart of this book: What if you dont have to change who you are to get what you want? What if you can achieve your most desired professional and personal goals by simply tapping more fully and consciously into the power of the woman you already are?

Thats what this book is all about: helping women get more of what they want by being more of who they are. Its about showing women how to bring more of themselves to workand get more back from it as a result. Its about figuring out what you really want, feeling comfortable asking for it, and then drawing on a neglected source of power to achieve it.

I call this powerful new tool pitching like a girl. The idea is to use your natural powers of influence and persuasion to gain support for what you want and to use the skills that most women have developed at building and nurturing relationships to get people to share your views and do what you want them to do.
