Her first book, Big Butts, Fat Thighs, and Other Secrets to Success, empowered women to accept and use their vulnerabilities in forming critical business relationships. Big butts and fat thighs are simply metaphors for those things that we dislike about ourselves. From cottage-cheese thighs to the belief that we are a failure because our position was eliminated, our big butts too often become our big buts. With humor and insight, Big Butts, Fat Thighs, and Other Secrets to Success shows us how to accept our vulnerabilities and actually use them to our advantage in forming the genuine relationships that are the keys to personal and professional success. Whether it's your daughter, sister, or best friend, this is the book that you will share with the women that you love. At last, a book that teaches us how to win just by being our genuine selves!
