Out of this provocative and challenging assertion, The Female Brand delivers the very latest in gender research into the female brain to debunk the notion that women have to play the _male_ game to win in the workplace. With strategies taken from the best of Madison Avenue, branding guru Catherine Kaputa lays out proven techniques to help women across the business landscape leverage their female edge, including honing their empathy and intuition, maximizing the impact of their verbal agility, capitalizing on their collaborative leadership style, and fine-tuning their power of storytelling to further demonstrate what it takes to think and act like an authentic and relevant personal brand.
