“Vanessa Vershaw has exposed yet another example of where those who've made it may be failing those who are coming behind them.” - Mark Pownall, Senior Editor - Business News Step into the world of “The Sisterhood Paradox” where Vanessa Vershaw, a renowned Workplace Psychologist and High-Performance Coach, unravels the complexities of female dynamics in professional settings. This groundbreaking book tackles the rarely discussed yet pervasive issue of women bullying women in the workplace – a critical barrier to achieving genuine gender parity. Through a compelling blend of psychological insights, real-life case studies, and personal narratives, Vershaw shines a light on the subtle, often unspoken challenges that women face from their female colleagues. She explores the underlying causes of these behaviours, drawing parallels from evolutionary psychology and societal norms, and offers practical strategies for individuals and organisations to foster a supportive and inclusive workplace culture. This is not just a book; it’s a call to action. It empowers women to navigate and overcome workplace aggression, encouraging resilience, allyship, and constructive communication. This essential guide is a beacon of hope for those seeking to create a harmonious and productive work environment. Whether you’re a professional woman seeking to understand and combat workplace bullying or a leader looking to foster and build an inclusive culture, “The Sisterhood Paradox” provides the tools and insights needed to transform workplace dynamics and empower women to rise together and build a future where all women can thrive. “This book acts as a trigger for all female leaders to reflect on their own behaviour at work.” - Kristen Turnbull, Founding Director - Core Data “Vanessa’s perspective and challenge advances the spirit of collaboration as we change our world together."" - Barry Bloch, Global Partner Board & Executive Leadership - Gerard Daniels
