For twenty-five years, Bernadette Boas’ reputation preceded her. She was diligent, whip-smart, strategic, and knew how to get results. She was also a bitch. In fact, whenever she walked into an office or corporate boardroom, everyone fell silent--trying to avoid what became known through corporate hallways as the “Bernadette Bitch-out.” Bernadette Boas was the ultimate corporate bitch, driven by a maniacal desire for financial success and wreaking havoc on everyone in her path. But one day, she was fired from her job and had to face the impact it was having on her body, mind, spirit and soul. Bernadette began a quest to shed the bitch that she discovered consumed her, in order to find the confident, strong and empowered woman she is. Shedding the Corporate Bitch provides women an honest and hard look at the pro’s and con’s of ‘manning-up’ in the workplace, and provides tips and lessons of how you can avoid those same mistakes so you can realize the riches in life you desire.
