On Monday 7th December PropelHer’s Book Club discussed Lift As You Climb: Women and the Art of Ambition by Viv Groskop.
In this summary of Lift As You Climb by Viv Groskop, I’ll be briefly summarising the book to help you make a decision about whether you should buy a copy of the book for yourself.
In the introduction, Viv discusses the origins of the idea ‘lifting as you climb’, as well as discussing the idea that women have to help other women otherwise they end up ‘in a special place in hell’.
Then Viv discussed ambition, the ‘baggage’ that surrounds the word and what it means to be an ambitious woman.
In the next 10 chapters, Viv explores a range of topics that impact women in professional or business setting such as promoting yourself, networking, getting paid properly, finding a mentor, handling rivalry, reaching out for help and more.
After each of the 11 chapters, Viv has an action section that relates directly to the chapter. This section is split into 2 sections (lift and climb) and there are questions and actions point to help you to work on the specific aspects that are covered in the chapter.
Then in the conclusion, Viv shares her final thoughts on the topic and then provides some parting words to send you on your way.
That’s it! You now have an idea about what you can expect to find inside of Lift As you Climb by Viv Groskop.
