About this title

About the Author:

Mary Foley (Reston, VA) spent 10 years at AOL, resigning at age 33 to become a consultant and venture capitalist for HumanR, a human resources software and consulting company. Mary shares her Bodacious message as a speaker and personal coach through her company, Bodacious! Ventures. Martha Finney (Salinas, CA) is the author of Find Your Calling, Love Your Life, and has appeared on CNN, NPR, and in major newspapers and magazines.

From Booklist:

Outstanding, bold, audacious, or "bodacious" is how the authors recommend women to act to succeed both personally and professionally in today's world. They recount Foley's experiences just out of college as an eight-dollar-per-hour employee of the predecessor to AOL and her ten-year participation in its spectacular growth. At age 33 and a millionaire, she left the company and is now an investor and consultant. Foley and Finney aim to help other women fulfill their destiny by giving them encouragement, and they suggest women will thrive with evolutionary thinking, a pioneer spirit, and learning to be nimble and tenacious in the post-new economy, which they call the now economy. Advice includes learning how to take a stand, using relationships more strategically, thriving on shift and change, and accepting and using office politics. The authors conclude with a personal business plan that guides the reader in a step-by-step approach to realizing success and fulfillment, which includes ideas on how to make your own luck.
