Every once in a while, we stumble across something that changes our lives. “Pitch Like A Girl,” did this for me. This gem of a read, written by Ronna Lichtenberg, president of a management consulting firm which boasts an impressive client list of Fortune 500 Who’s Who, is an absolute must for every female professional.

Sharp, witty and fun, this book provides a detailed roadmap for turning vision into reality.

By showing exactly why woman have such a difficult time asking for anything (assistance, resources, etc.) and then providing a compass that gives the precise directions needed for learning how to do so effectively, “Pitching Like A Girl” helps women shatter the glass ceiling without losing their femininity. So if you’re a woman (or even a man) who never seems to feel comfortable asking or self promoting, “Pitch Like A Girl” is for you.

In it, Lichtenberg takes a revealing look at how men and women do business, or what she aptly calls the blue stripe way and the pink stripe way.

Simply put, the pink represents those who form connections before doing business (Lichtenberg uses Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton as examples here), whereas blue is assigned to those more concerned with getting a job done (Martha Stewart and Margaret Thatcher are used as examples).

Lichtenberg taps into the most recent developments in brain sex research and social stereotypes to look at how women relate to work and then shows women how to use their natural gifts to get what they want.

She uses humor and her own real-life experiences to instruct women how to better deal with everything from the difficult boss to the trying customer service rep, all the while ensuring they get exactly what you want.

“Pitch Like A Girl” helps readers find their very own pitching style, than shows them how to get a homerun with every hit!
