I particularly liked the excercises that help you identify your passions and talents, and help guide you while you try and figure out which directions to go in business. I wish someone had shown me this stuff even as early as high school, so that I could have saved myself a lot of soul searching and mistakes. The excercises she included really made me feel good about my particular talents and would have been helpful in establishing my career path.
I am a 25-year old small-business owner (I do landscaping), and while I found a lot of the excercises and advice helpful, they were geared more towards people working in the business world, as employees rather than as employers.
I think this book would be most helpful for those who are just beginning in their careers and perhaps need inspiration and support while they navigate common career issues and find their personal career path. I certainly wish someone had bought it for me years ago! It would have saved me a lot of time and stopped me making some silly mistakes.
She not only gives solid advice; she also asks probing questions, sets up revealing exercises, and gives inspiration in the form of quotes and confessions by Wildly Sophisticated women the world over.
I personally found this book helpful in making important, and to a certain extent painful, decisions about where my career, and my life, were going. I'm still putting my pieces together but feel more secure, and wildly sophisticated!
