| Book Description | India ranks among the bottom end of countries when it comes to women's participation in the workforce, as per research conducted by the International Labour Organizationand other reputed institutions. Despite pushing gender inclusion to the forefront and making considerable progress, it is clear that Indian women don't have it easy today. Conversations with the Career Doctor is a ready-reckoner that women can refer to whenever they are confronted with a challenge. It provides a powerful toolkit for every Indian woman professional to lead a strong, secure and successful career.Saundarya Rajesh, through these twenty-six stories, helps women navigate the loaded inequities in the ecosystem that is charged with social, familial and economic biases, and provides solutions to help them stay employed, make money, achieve financial security and keep bounding forward. Accessibly written, well-researched and keenly solution-oriented, this book is the perfect guide for every working woman. |
