Award #5 for “GUTSY: How Women Leaders Make Change”

WHITE HAVEN, Pa. - Oct. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Press Release: Award #5 for “GUTSY: How Women Leaders Make Change”

White haven Pa. October 31 2013 --- “Whoo Hoo” was Sylvia Lafair’s response when told her book “GUTSY” (Infinity Press 2012) has won yet another award, this time from the Mid-West Book Festival.

“I love to write and I love to be acknowledged for making a difference,” she said when advised she was the first place winner in the “How To” section of the competition.

Her initial book, “Don’t Bring It to Work (http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Bring-It-Work-Breaking/dp/0470404361/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y)” (Jossey Bass 2009) is now considered a classic in the leadership genre that offers leaders a route to understand and even better, transform old, ingrained behaviors that often show up at work. It has won nine book awards and GUTSY is catching up with five.

“GUTSY” takes women on a journey to see what pushes their buttons and more importantly, what to do about it. While “GUTSY” was originally written for women in the workplace she has received e-mails and phone calls from men who say “Thank You!”

Men are not only giving the book as a gift to wives, partners, direct reports, and co-workers. Often daughters in college are getting the book sent to their dorms.

As Dr. Lafair explains “I wrote this book to appeal to young women starting their careers as well as seasoned professionals who have lots of people on their teams. It is for busy people who can read short chapters and get to the point in a fast, fun way.”

“GUTSY” and its companion “GUTSY Success Guide Book (http://www.amazon.com/Gutsy-Success-Guidebook-Companion-L...)” outlines her important OUT Technique that gives a roadmap to getting along with even the most gruesome (after all it is Halloween) co-workers. Those who have read the book and do the exercises in the Success Guide are virtually guaranteed to have work relationships enhanced.

When asked about her experience with the books Yvonne Cangalosi, President of Spex Certiprep said “The most amazing part of reading the books and doing the exercises is that my relationships at home became even better, so it was a double win.”

Elaine Sterling President of the Elaine Sterling Institute” in Atlanta who had been to a GUTSY WOMEN WEEKEND based on the book said, “Initially I was not sure that what I learned in my original organization, the family was really all that important in my company. However, GUTSY, the book, the success guide, and the weekend all showed me new innovative ways of constantly improving my team as well as my family relationships.  This work is life changing.”

Dr Lafair has been a business consultant and leadership expert for 30 years and has watched the rise of women to places of power. She has many tips and techniques for helping women become GUTSY, or if already GUTSY, get even more so.

“Once you are GUTSY” she says with a huge smile, “people will follow you because they won’t want to look away, they won’t be able to look away, they will want what you have and that is what GUTSY is all about.”
