Description
Prompted by her own experience as co-host of Morning Joe, Mika interviewed a lot of prominent women across a variety of industries on their experience moving up in their fields. Mika shares the surprising stories of such power players as presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, comedian Susie Essman, author and director Nora Ephron, Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg, television personality Joy Behar, and many others. Mika also gets honest answers from the likes of Donny Deutsch, Jack Welch, Donald Trump, and others about why women are paid less, and what pitfalls women face–and play into. Knowing Your Value blends personal stories with the up to date research on why many women don’t negotiate their compensation, why negotiating aggressively frequently backfires, the real reasons why the gender wage gap persists, and what will also be done about it.
Written in Mika’s brutally honest, funny, and self-deprecating style, Knowing Your Value is an important book for professional women of every age.
