The Personal Credibility Factor:How to Get It, Keep It, and Get It Back (If You’ve Lost It)by Sandy Allgeier “The new ‘PC’ isn’t ‘political correctness’–it’s ‘personal credibility.’ This book is a needed reminder that no matter how old you are or what you’ve accomplished in life, you are never, ever done learning about yourself or those around you. From the easier-said-than-done resolution to avoid gossip to the it’s-as-hard-as-it-sounds process of building up your self-awareness, Allgeier has filled her book with the life lessons we never seem to fully learn the first time we hear them. (Or maybe that’s just me!)” |
