A perfect blend of information and instruction, Just Sit covers everything you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask.

Download or read book Don t Just Sit There written by L. Wilson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would your reaction be if assaulted at knifepoint? If you were kidnapped or were at the mercy of a lunatic for hours? If you remained alive…would you contact the authorities? Thousands of women are attacked every year, but only an estimated 1 in 20 ever reports the incident to the police. Just 1 in 10 of those ever follows through with the process of pressing charges, and only 1 in 10 of those remaining ever sees the inside of a courtroom. This allows too many criminals to continue to freely roam the streets, able to viciously attack again & again. This story is a completely true account of an assault & abduction, where the victim was fortunate enough to be able to walk away unharmed, and the 6 months of various events that followed. Every woman, from young teens to the elderly should read the information contained in these pages…something in them may someday be very useful and save their lives…or help put their attacker behind thick, steel bars in prison.

Download or read book Please Sit Over There written by Francine Parham and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to your career advancement is understanding how power works--who has it, where it hides, and how it's used. Please Sit Over There teaches Black women the career skills they need to navigate an uneven playing field and achieve long-lasting professional success. Black women continuously navigate systems that were never intended for them while playing by a set of rules they never agreed to or were ever trained for. In this book, Francine Parham shares her knowledge as a Black woman and a former global executive of two major corporations on how to move up in the workplace while maintaining a sense of sanity. The key skill--one that Black women are rarely taught--is understanding the power dynamics within your organization and learning how to shift the power to your advantage. Parham shows how to use your voice, strategically build the right relationships, and support others once you have achieved a powerful position--tools any woman can use to increase her power and ensure a successful, fulfilling career. Parham says Black women are already empowered; there is no shortage of qualified professional Black women in the talent pipeline. But it does not feel empowering when organizations force Black women to work every day to overcome biases, discriminatory institutional practices, and unwritten rules of power at play that hinder their career development and professional advancement. Please Sit Over There honors the painstaking work being undertaken to deconstruct broken institutions and demonstrates how Black women can achieve their goals while those institutions still exist-effectively opening doors for all women of color.
