After reading this book, women will embody a renewed sense of confidence, understand how to navigate various workplace political landmines, and learn the secret strategy to survive the FIRE, win the FIGHT and be ready for the FLIGHT to higher heights of personal, professional, provisional, and prophetic futures, emerging from workplace dilemmas, UNSCATHED.
