“The Key - Quick Conversations” Gill Whitty-Collins (Author, CEO, Marketing Leader)
🌟 “Know your value. Knowing what you’re amazing at. Your strengths, your superpowers, the unique value you bring is so important. Only you truly know your worth; your boss doesn’t necessarily see it.” 🌟
Gill Whitty-Collins, author of #HowToWinAtWork
📖 🍾 This week, I had the huge pleasure of attending Gill Whitty-Collins' “How To Win at Work” book launch at Libreria in East London.
⚡ The energy was so positive and uplifting in this very cool bookshop, buzzing with friends, contacts, ex‑colleagues, clients and fans. It was great fun meeting fascinating people and trading stories about how people knew Gill and how her first book, and Gill as a person, had helped them on their journeys, both personally and professionally.
💡 What became clear quickly was how much Gill Whitty-Collins’ previous best‑selling book “Why Men Win at Work” and her workshops have enlightened women and men about the realities of the world we work in and how it’s rigged in favour of men… and what to do about it.
🔥 That community energy made her new book launch feel so special.
So...I had to ask Gill Whitty-Collins if we could do a "Quick Conversation 🎤 " and she said yes!
I asked Gill what “The Key 🔑 ” lesson for women from her new book is, she distilled it into three powerful points:
1️⃣ ⭐ Know your value: Identify and own your strengths, your superpowers and the unique value you bring to work.
2️⃣ 🎯 Only you can see your worth: Your boss might not understand everything you do. Don’t rely on others to recognise your full potential.
3️⃣ 🚪 Take your brilliance elsewhere if it’s not appreciated: If an employer undervalues you, trust yourself enough to leave. Staying in an environment that doesn’t serve you doesn’t help anyone.
The support for Gill and this book was amazing, with Gill even doing a reading from the text.
I left inspired and grateful to have a signed copy with a message for my wife who has just started new business!
