Book Description
The Con Job tackles one of the biggest workplace cons of all time - the way most workplaces over-reward confidence, bravado and showmanship and undervalue competence, skill and expertise. Having interviewed nearly 40 senior leaders, from around the world Dr Suzanne Doyle-Morris uses the best of their advice and how we should be defining confidence so that it works for more of us - not just 'the status quo' of current leaders. If you're different from the leadership at your workplace and have been overlooked, The Con Job is for you! Not progressing at work is often blamed on 'lack of confidence', but this excuse is a total con job. It misses genuine competence, conveniently rewards the status quo and distracts us from understanding the context of what really drives confidence in different groups of people. This hoax means we fail to get the right people into the best jobs. This book identifies the battles worth fighting to give you the skills you need to: Capitalise on what you are doing well to silence the 'imposter'. Convince others to value your hard-earned experience. Redefine confidence so it doesn't continue to advantage the 'status quo'. Are you ready to debunk the greatest 'Con Job' in order to get ahead?

The Democrat Party likes to pose as the party of compassion. But where is the compassion in "sanctuary cities" that allow foreign criminals to prey on innocent Americans? Where is the compassion in encouraging envy and lawlessness? Crystal Wright isn't falling for the liberal con job any longer. A one-time (2008) Obama supporter herself—and now a totally fearless "Conservative Black Chick"—Wright blows the whistle on the Democrat Party and its policies that are destroying America. In Con Job you'll learn why Democrat politicians have no problem with inner-city riots; why Democrats so fervently defend Planned Parenthood, how Democrats are remaking America through massive immigration and more. The 2016 presidential election is set to be one of the most consequential in American history—and Crystal Wright's book is the one you need to help friends and family avoid falling for the Democrat con job yet again.
