The Cheerleader's Guide to the Workplace - by Melinda Carter Oakes (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Cheerleader's Guide to the Workplace is the self-help book for every person who wants or needs to know that someone is cheering for them!

This book aims to instill the courage, mindset, enthusiasm and sparkly fingers needed to make it through the workday and an entire career no matter what your goals are. It's not a book about getting to the top of the proverbial ladder; it's not about making the most money, having the most things or being the most popular.

It's not even about cheerleading.

This book is simply your personal pocket-sized workplace pep squad. Many self-improvement books help fix a problem or deliver you to a place you have yet to realize you can go. This isn't that book. Instead, The Cheerleader's Guide to the Workplace fills a gap in literature options by loving the reader right where they are. Its entire purpose is to say "You've got it together, baby! Do you ever!"

Using cheer metaphors and personal anecdotes, the author leverages her experience as a Division 1 college cheerleader at Kansas State University and 20+ years of career experience at three of America's top branded companies to provide self-improvement enthusiasts with a leg up in the workplace.
