Karen brady biography book

She's pretty inspirational, her story is great, and I'm totally impressed by her determination, guts, and her work to promote women in business. However, I really, really don't like her management style. First and foremost, I must say that I purchased the book at a bizarre juncture in life. To these ends the book was useful to me and it reminded me on what it means to be female and successful within the word of work.

There are unfortunately prices to pay and sacrifices to be made for this and Brady does not gloss over this viewpoint and nor does she fluff it up in any way. The honesty here will, I imagine, be appreciated by many. The feel and tone of this memoir does not make it read like a classic memoir or autobiography as the predominant theme throughout is work and ambition focused at all times.

There is little actual emotion here really but then Karren Brady admits that this has never really been one of her strong points. Business itself is the most pivotal theme of each chapter and it is clear that she has made sacrifices at every turn in order to juggle the demands of work, life and family. In all honesty, I like the way she portrays herself throughout the book, she never admits to being superwoman but readily states that she has to make the right choices everyday and in all areas of her life, being prepared to be accountable for these.

Common sense simple advice seems very much what she wants to promote.

There is appeal here for anyone who is hardworking, driven and ambitious who simply wants to muse over their business attitude and perspective to work. Brady makes an underlying point that everyone has the right to be passionate about the job they do and should freely accept new challenges. For anyone who wants to conquer the business world, gain useful insights or simply self-reflect then this is a worthwhile and easy read to pick up.

Karren knows how to give things to you, completely honest and straight-forward. As she says, 'I don't sugar coat it' and for sure, she doesn't. In today's society, women are hushed and expected to stay hushed; doing the laundry, fetching the kids from school and cooking for when the breadwinner arrives home from a hard day's work. Us women can also go out and do what the men do, and what men can't do - I say - woman can surely try and do it better.

She's opened doors for women and she expects younger generations of women to keep that door open; that we need to hold it open for the rest of us to walk through and make it. Obviously success only comes with hard work and she's shown us how she made and given ideas on how we can make it, as well as juggling family. I definitely plan on reading this again, it just gives you a boost of confidence and opens your eyes to what you can do to put yourself out there to benefit yourself and even those around you.

I've always thought of Brady as hard-working of course! I actually really enjoyed this book. Not too taxing. Written in a very readable way. I'm not a big fan of Karren Brady per se but thought it would be interesting to get some background to her success. It's refreshing for someone to be so straight forward and honest. We can all achieve.

The 'original feminists' of the seventies told us we could have it all. Well, OK, maybe we can but we have to make choices and then get on with things. If as women we want to work twenty hours a day then we are going to have to have good child care so make the decision, sort the child care and then get on with your life. Don't beat yourself up about it.

If you need to get something done at work and get home to find that the house needs a clean. Well; you can't do everything so the cleaning will have to wait. I found her honestly and sensibility very refreshing. Probably won't set your world on fire but was an interesting read all the same. Alexander Catt. I think that this book was very helpful for many reason.

Firstly because it is very genuine and personal as many of the rules that Karren states in this book and the way she explains them really appealed to me and I realised that I could take something away from that and use it in life especially because she uses many examples throughout the book which can be applied to day to day life and it made me think about it and I realized that I do those things and should use the rule she is stating to fix that so in that respect it has been very helpful.

Secondly the book is very upfront and doesn't steer away from the truth so you can really learn something from it and then use that in real life situations whatever that situation might be. Despite this sometimes I saw that she often stated the obvious throughout the book and then go into much detail about it when it is well just really obvious which is where the book sometimes becomes quite boring and not as helpful but despite that a good short read that I would recommend.
