Negotiate harder. Don’t be such a perfectionist. Get more sleep. Professional women get all kinds of advice — some of it helpful, some of it really unhelpful, and some of it nice-sounding but pretty impossible to use.
In this episode, we share some of your best and worst advice, and we question a few classic pieces of advice women get (and give) on asking for more money, achieving more by doing less, and not burning out.
We talk with Duke University management professor Ashleigh Shelby Rosette about negotiating, Thrive Global CEO Arianna Huffington about sleep, Levo Chief Leadership Officer Tiffany Dufu about dropping the ball, and New Yorker writer Susan Orlean about confidence. We also brought in HBR senior editor Alison Beard to help Amy answer a few of your questions about work.
