Book Review: Whale Hunting Women - How Women Do Big Deals

By Barbara Weaver Smith, Ph.D.

88 pages Ebook - $14.97

Firstly I’ll point out that in this book Whale Hunting is a metaphor for ‘doing deals’ with big companies - and has nothing to do with the gory and bloody killing of our beloved whales here downunder.

whalehuntingwomenv1Whale Hunting is all about encouraging women to embrace a fast growth culture in their business.

The book is part workbook with each section including space to reflect and plan your action and strategy steps with some valuable prompts.

The book outlines strategies for deal preparation, breaking the ‘think small mindset’, how to be perceived as a big company, improving processes, building alliances, nurturing a fast growth team and culture, thinking abundantly, eliminating bureaucratic thinking, not underselling yourself, and overcoming obstacles.

Importantly, Barbara addresses the ‘think small’ issues that could be holding us back. She recognizes and celebrates women’s leadership styles - the styles that can make us big deal-makers.

The Whale Hunter is a quick, practical read - and the value of the book is emphasized with the workbook sections that allow you to transfer your learning and insights into your business straight away - so you can make those big deals and grow your business!
