Publisher's summary

The Wall Street powerhouse and author of Expect to Win offers a new way to conceptualize career strategies and gives us proven tools for successful change.

Whether we're starting out, striving toward a promotion, or looking for a new opportunity, the working world isn’t what it used to be. Wall Street veteran Carla Harris knows this, and in Strategize to Win she gives listeners the tools they need to get started; get "unstuck" from bad situations; redirect momentum; and position themselves to manage their careers no matter the environment. With her trademark galvanizing advice, Harris identifies and clarifies issues that are often murky, offering lessons on: Identifying and making the most of your work profile (are you a Good Soldier? a Leader? an Arguer?); preparing for a career change without going back to school or taking a step down: honing three essential skills industry leaders possess (and how to get them); tuning into unspoken cues; and thriving through change. Introducing a new way of planning one’s career in five-year units, Strategize to Win distills battle-tested and step-by-step tools that Carla has used to launch and sustain her own successful career and help others move forward, recover from setbacks, and position themselves for success.

Great recommendation from a great friend. This was perfect timing, as I prepare for a interview. Thank you Ms Harris for your wisdom and for wanting to share it with the world. You ROCK!

Six Figure Career Secrets

This is a wonderful book for every serious careerist. You won't be able to implement all the tips at once but put this lunch in the bag for when you're hungry later
;)

This is something I plan to listen to at the beginning of each year when it's time to get my strategy together. I plan to be a six-figure woman in 3 years.

Great for any professional!

Sound and practical advice at any stage of your career! Carla’s pearls provide an excellent summary and tips to apply.

Strategize to Win is a must read / listen!!!

I loved it!! Listening to Carla Harris share her pearls of wisdom on how to strategize one's career and take responsibility for one's career path was very inspiring. It was like having my very own executive coach giving me play by play tips on how to successfully advance in my career journey!!

Bravo Carla!

Fantastic follow-up

If you haven't read Expect to Win, you'll enjoy this book. But if you have, you'll absolutely maximize the benefits by adding this sequel. Carla's Pearls are worth their weight in gold. And Carla is "good people" for sure.

Phenominal material

This book has brought to light so many things that I need to reexamine and re-strategize concerning my career. I highly recommend this book especially chapters 5 & 6, I would say start there and if you like go back and read the whole book.

loved it!

great book for transitioning or growing within your career. loved Carl's pearls and great inspiration.

The career coach you always wanted!

Carla does it again!!! If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate the hills and valleys of your career journey or ever felt like you wish you had someone to give you career advice, this book is for you!
I read Expect To Win last year and was blown away by the positive results I got after applying Carla’s pearls of wisdom. I’ve increased both my performance and relationship currency at work and I can attribute this to her advice and nuggets of wisdom.
I love that she speaks with authenticity and leaves no corner unturned when it comes to everyday career issues that we face.
Read this book and if you don’t have the time, — listen to the book on audible! I actually have the hard copy but I’m happy I got it on audible because it allowed me to hear the examples directly from her (she gives examples of what and how to say things when faced with difficulties at work).

In conclusion— get the book! You won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait to read whatever she comes up with next!

Very inspiring

This audiobook is exactly what I needed to move forward in a challenging work environment.
