Climbing the Corporate Ladder in High Heels
Favoring neither the “in-your-face” aggressive tactics of the “break-through-the-glass-ceiling” school of thought, nor the “sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice” little-girl approach, Climbing the Corporate Ladder in High Heels shows women how to be outstandingly successful and personally actualized without becoming just like men.
There are 63 million working women in America, but only eight are top company CEOs. While women make up nearly 50 percent of the workforce, working women perform 90 percent of household and childcare duties. Women are left wondering, “Do I have to make a choice between my career or my life?” This book answers that question.
Climbing the Corporate Ladder in High Heels is the first book to teach women:
• How to climb the corporate ladder and have fun doing it. List Price: $ 14.99 Price:
• How to use 12 of their natural roles and talents to advance in Corporate America.
• How to thrive in a downsizing and outsourcing global economy. 
Finally, something more than rah-rah!,
I started reading this book with some concerns about being hit with the same old rah-rah-you-can-do-it-woman! text, reminding us how great we are and how we can have it all…but forgetting to mention how we can achieve it. In Archambeau’s book, I found a thought-provoking, often funny, and always interesting guide for women who want it all…or even part of it…without suffering the guilt (or even the dread) we’re too often expected to carry on our backs. Archambeau reminds again and again that “success” is not a dirty word and that the balancing act doesn’t always have to topple us over. The recurring message in this book was not simply You can do it! but…Here’s how!

|Every women should have a copy of this book.,
This book gave me a lot of inspiration. Not only in my career,but in my day to day life. I gained the power to balance both career and personal life. I searched for at least a year for a book to guide me,and finally I have found it. Just like we all have the little black dress, we all should have a copy of this book. It’s life enriching, it empowers you. I have given it as gifts, and my friends have called and thanked me 10 times over. It’s a great gift for a good friend, or collegue.
Thanks Kathleen for writing this book.

|The Girl Scout Handbook for Grown Up Girls,
More than a self-help book, Climbing the Corporate Ladder in High Heels is the handbook I wished I’d had during my corporate days in high tech. I’d have avoided layoff and climbed further up the ladder than I did. The book offers stories of how other women hit obtacles and steered around, over or made use of them. The exercises at each chapter’s end are really self-management techniques or actions that are easy to do and make sense. No deep personal processing is required. I’m buying copies for my nieces in hopes they’re better managers of their careers than I have been of mine.
