Reading
Suzanne Doyle-Morris’ new must-read: Beyond the Boys’Club, published by Wit & Wisdom Press. An important versing in standing out from the traditional male-only crowd. Doyle-Morris says there is little to be gained from the traditional female approach of simply working hard then waiting to be recognised for a job well done; if women are to achieve their full career potential, they need to learn the art of raising their own profile.
