Jodi Glickman was a guest on my radio show recently. Jodie is a former Peace Corps volunteer (Southern Chile) turned investment banker (Goldman Sachs) turned communication expert. She received her MBA from the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University, where she was a Park Leadership Fellow and received a full-ride scholarship to business school. Before turning to the world of finance, Jodi was a policy analyst at the U.S. EPA and did brief stints at the White House and Governor’s Office of Illinois. She has a B.S. in Social Policy, Magna Cum Laude, from Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy.
Jodi has trained some of the best and brightest young minds in business—her clients include Harvard Business School, Wharton, NYU Stern School of Business, Kellogg School of Management, BofA/Merrill, Citigroup, Baird & Co., among others.
Now she offers her expertise in her latest book: Great On the Job: What to Say, How to Say it. The Secrets of Getting Ahead.
Wow. Clearly-written, very-focused, usable and doable advice and tips, and it addresses the biggest challenge and opportunity for us all: Communication.
You can listen to our conversation here.
As you can tell from her book, her career and from listening to our conversation...Jodi is a leader.
So, I asked her:
You're a leader. Leaders are readers. Jim Rohn says that. I just quote him. What are you reading?
And for her answer, well, she knew what to say and how to say it....
For the first time, reading for real, it’s been so nice.
I’m reading a great book by Mika Brzezinski called Knowing Your Value. It's about women in the workplace, we are undervalued and underpaid. She’s the co-host of Morning Joe in MSNBC.
On a fun note, I ‘m reading a great book called The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit. It’s about Egypt in the 1950’s.
I just finished another book called The Commoner, it’s about 1940’s Japan.
I don’t know why I’m in this WW2 phase. But both of those are excellent books.
