Even in the #MeToo era, studies show that women in the workforce continue to harbour misconceptions about sexual harassment and are unprepared to respond when it happens. Lawyer and former ESPN anchor, Adrienne Lawrence, has learned to advocate for herself and other women. In this book, she offers much-needed insight on topics such as:
· Identifying the five types of harassers and the five types of colleagues
who enable them
· Researching company culture and history to identify sexual harassment
hotbeds
· Properly documenting inappropriate behaviour
· Preparing for retaliation and mental health hurdles such as anxiety and
depression
· Managing public exposure and working out when to enlist the power of
the media and/or a solicitor
This essential guide helps women navigate the complicated realities of sexual harassment and teaches them how to be their own best advocates in toxic work environments.
“A strong book that will help you navigate the choppy waters of sexual harassment. Gain your power, read this book.”
