WHALE HUNTING WOMEN?



ALL THINGS THAT MATTER PRESS knows that there are a lot of great new books that are on the market. Even though not published by ATTMPress, we feel that it is important to inform the reader when something special comes along that is worth reading. Therefore, we will occasionally post information about new authors and books that we feel are worth reading, regardless of the publisher.

About Whale Hunting Women [Vol. 1]
Whale Hunting Women—how women do big deals in business and community. For inspiration, motivation, and direction, this book celebrates women as deal-makers and includes how to “break the minnow mindset” and how to create a fast-growth culture. It documents three cultural transformations that favor women’s leadership styles: the trend to replace competition with collaboration; the need to transform bureaucracy to entrepreneurship; and the value of perceiving a world of abundance rather than a culture of scarcity. The book offers advice on how small companies or organizations can manage their public presence to generate the whales’ confidence that they have the capabilities and professionalism to complete big deals with big customers and partners. The book incorporates a deal-maker’s journal; each chapter includes worksheets to prompt reflections and action plans.

Topics That Are Discussed in Whale Hunting Women

* Women are great whale hunters (big deal-makers)
* Women’s talents and preferences are a perfect fit for deal-making in today’s economy
* Women sometimes think of themselves or their enterprise as “too small” to do big deals
* Community deals and education deals are as important and as challenging as business deals
