Today I’m talking with bestselling author and executive coach Dr. Lois Frankel.

The name Dr. Lois Frankel has become practically synonymous with empowering women in the workplace. She is the author of the bestselling business bible for women, Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, and other books in the "nice girls" series. Lois is a pioneer in the field of executive coaching and a sought-after international keynote speaker. She has now turned toward helping parents to raise self-confident daughters and is working on a book on the topic.

An avid photographer, Lois sells her work at her website www.loisfrankelphotography.com and gives the proceeds to a nonprofit she started that helps working women who live at the poverty level when they encounter medical challenges.
