'An inspiring guide to developing your personal brand, achieving
your career goals and shaping the future of work' Red 'Everything
every career woman needs to know and yet is rarely shared so
honestly' Anya Hindmarch 'Refreshingly relevant and practical'
Roksanda Ilincic Women have made great advances in the workplace,
but despite that - and the overwhelming amount of career advice out
there - the same questions continue to arise: how to succeed in a
man's world, how to combine a career with a family, how to be
authentic and fit in, and whether it is even possible to achieve a
work-life balance while chasing career goals. Unfortunately, much
of the advice women are offered is badly out of date and lacking in
'cut-to-the-chase' strategies that really tally with their
experience of the workplace now. What's more, the advice often
tends to be defensive, focused on overcoming obstacles rather than
drawing upon strengths. Style and Substance starts from a very
different perspective. Written by Helena Morrissey, who has learned
through her own experiences as a woman in the workplace and as a
business leader, it will help you understand what really matters
when it comes to career progression today, whatever your age,
situation and aspirations. Style and Substance will show you how to
build your own style - your personal brand - and how to have
confidence in it, and in yourself. Once you realise how much agency
you have and the steps that you can take to look the part, sound
the part, feel the part and therefore be the part, you'll be
empowered to achieve your goals in your own way, secure in who you
are and what you have to offer.
Here it is! Your window into the formerly elusive world of
modelling for anyone to enter and have a look around. 'So you want
to be a model? (The Secret Life of Successful Models)' was born out
of the countless questions Gingersnap founder Clare Wilson is asked
about how to become a successful model. Clare takes you through
every aspect of the model industry - from castings, how to be in
front of a camera, the business side of the industry, and
invaluable social media tips, to the many types of modelling. How
do you go about getting that great agent? How do you get noticed at
castings? How can you nail that modelling job of your dreams? Clare
divulges fascinating stories of her modelling days, and her handy
A-Z of modelling jargon is also included so you'll know the lingo
from day one. For Clare, the joy in sharing her experience is
allowing everyone and anyone a peek into the fascinating world of
modelling. Be empowered and inspired... this is a world which
should be open to all, so why not you?
For many women, the bathroom is the most intimate of spaces. It is
the place where we encounter ourselves in the mirror each morning
and every night, getting ready to face the day, or recede from it.
THE BATHROOM CHRONICLES is a beautiful, chic, touching, and deeply
feminine collection of photos and accompanying short stories
(sometimes no more than a sentence or two) by women about their
private spaces and most cherished possessions. Lena Dunham reveals
the corner by the sink where she keeps her favorite pieces of
jewelry, as well as her birth control. Erica Jong snaps her poodles
and insists that they love her powder room and to "fluff up their
hair" in front of the mirrors. Roz Chast reflects on a shelf in the
corner that she purchased from a second-hand store. It's decorated
with birds, because she loves birds, and a tiny emu that was given
to her by a friend when she was in Australia. Like the bathrooms
themselves each of these stories and images is unique--open,
private, minimalistic, messy, and beautiful.
