■ About the Author
Dr. Lois Frankel attributes being an "avid writer" to having been an avid reader from childhood through the present. It was only after her first book, Women, Anger & Depression: Strategies for Self- Empowerment, was published that Lois realized she had fulfilled her longforgotten childhood dream.

Lois has always written about those things she feels closest to ? workplace and womens issues. Her "research" is her experience working as a psychotherapist, business coach, and workshop facilitator for corporations around the globe. She was a pioneer in the field of business coaching. Staying on top of the human aspects of business requires Lois to read the latest in business books but she still finds time for her favorite "true crime" authors.

Dr. Frankels books include, NICE GIRLS DONT GET THE CORNER OFFICE: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers (Warner Books Hardcover; February 11, 2004; $ 19.95), Jump Start Your Career, Kindling the Spirit, Women, Anger, & Depression, and Overcoming Your Strengths, which was named "the best unsung business book of the year" in 1997 by Fast Company magazine.
