For many female employees, working in a male-dominated jungle, can be frustrating.
Gender-based stereotypes seem to pigeonhole women, holding them back from pay increases, promotions and mobility. Finance professional Tamara Lashchyk gives women the inside track to getting ahead, sharing her go-to tips and career insight with her new book, "Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide for Women on Wall Street."
"I've watched as dozens of young women sabotage their own careers and shut themselves out of opportunities," Lashchyk said. "As a result, few women succeed. One thing that stands in the way of female success, on an individual and collective basis, is ourselves."
In the competitive environment of business world, what differentiates you from others is your brand. The value of your brand is determined by the credibility that you've established through consistent behaviors over time. When properly managed, your brand is an asset, which can open doors of opportunity and pave the way to a successful career.
