Would you be happy if you could kill your anxiety, confidently ask for what you want, and get it? Would your life be better if you could speak your mind and confront others without fear?

Of course!

Difficult conversations emotionally drain you. And if a woman follows generic advice implicitly written for men, it will likely backfire due to social double-standards.

Research shows that,

• Assertive men are admired, but assertive women might be considered bossy (and judged more harshly).
• When a man protects his turf he’s a committed leader, but if a woman does the same she’s a control freak.
• When a man and a woman express the same type of negative emotions with the same intensity, she’s considered “too emotional,” while he might be “having a bad day.”
• During negotiations, women more than men need to validate their requests.
• Minority women suffer from double jeopardy.

For those reasons and more, women tend to make fewer requests for themselves than men do, leaving wants and needs unfulfilled. Difficult Conversations Just for Women is a book tailored for women. This is a step-by-step guide full of real-life stories (and sprinkled with humor) that tackles the challenges women face, but men don’t. Difficult Conversations Just for Women will help you speak up, resolve conflicts, and set boundaries in a healthy and successful way as a woman.
