I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This: How to Ask for the Money, Snag the Promotion, and Create the Career You Deserve

I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This gives you all the secrets you need to become a success, go bigger with it, and savor every second.

It is jam-packed with insider strategies, interviews with women at the top of their game professionally, and advice from Kate’s own career running five major magazines, including Cosmopolitan for 14 years. She knows how to:

• Land a job you’re passionate about for the money you want
• Use “bitch envy” to your advantage
• Radiate confidence and get buzzed about
• Dazzle in your new position—and not succumbe to Sudden Promotion Syndrome
• Unlock your inner leader and manage people brilliantly

More than anything Kate stresses that you have to go big or go home—with your ideas, your personal brand, and your vision for the future.

Praise for I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This

“In this follow-up to her bestseller Why Good Girls Don’t Get Ahead…but Gutsy Girls Do (1996), Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief White (The Sixes, 2011, etc.) offers straight-shooting career advice to women at all stages of their professional lives… her advice is useful and delightfully no-nonsense. A smart, savvy guide for working women looking to climb the professional ladder and maintain positions of power.” – Kirkus

“Kate’s fierce courage and determination make this book a witty, fun, and refreshingly blunt read for career women — teachers and CEOs alike!” – Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host and author of Knowing Your Value
