Описание: For twenty-five years she was a corporate bitch, and now has shifted from bitch to rich

As a young woman, Bernadette Boas was anything but a bitch. Raised by loving, Irish Catholic parents in a Philadelphia suburb in the 1960s, she was the middle child of twelve--a sassy, precocious girl with big dreams of a big life.
At the age of eighteen, Bernadette left home with the love and support of her family and headed South to Boca Raton, Florida, where she began to climb the corporate ladder. There, amidst palm trees and sandy beaches, the sun began to set on her once glowing personality.
A driven, ambitious young woman, Bernadette began to emulate the negative, competitive attitudes of her coworkers--men and women--in her quest for success. She gained a reputation for being aggressive, demanding, and brash. Through hard work and perseverance, she attained tremendous success and achievement through managerial and executive positions, but it came with a price. Eventually, she lost her six-figure corporate job and her bitch persona.

Its one womans apology to all the people she hurt over the years in pursuit of those goals. But most importantly, its her lessons, tips, and advice for aspiring corporate women who erroneously believe that manning up and becoming a bitch in order to achieve career success that is valuable.
