The New ‘Must Read’ Book for Women Applies the Strategies of Poker to Life -- PokerWoman

(PRWEB) November 25, 2009 -- PokerWoman (http://www.liebertpub.com/poker) teaches women to get what they want at work and in their personal lives by piling up the chips, making the most of the cards they are dealt, how to win, and if you lose, how to get back in the game, whether the game is cards or business. The author encourages women to overcome their fears and doubts, find their voice, figure out what they want, and claim their rightful place at the table.

A successful marketing executive who spent 15 years in the corporate world working for several Fortune 500 companies, Leikind decided to take a hiatus from her career and rediscovered poker, a game she had learned as a teenager. It was at that time she first made the connections explored in her book That experience inspired Leikind to found POKERprimaDIVAS (http://www.pokerdivas.com/)®, a company that provides corporate programs and entertainment to teach women to use the principles acquired at the poker table to enhance their business skills.

Because her message is really about empowerment, Leikind has attracted support from poker players and advice experts alike. “Poker strategies can enable you to achieve your goals—in your career or in your personal life,” says Kathy Liebert, a top poker tournament player. “Find your strengths and capitalize on them. Recognize your weaknesses and learn from them. This book will furnish you with the tools to do both.”

PokerWoman (http://www.liebertpub.com/poker) expands on that mission by using winning poker strategies to show women how to get what they want at work and in their personal lives. Concepts such as picking up on verbal cues, knowing when to raise the stakes and be aggressive, choosing the right game, and how to assess risk are all illustrated using personal stories from successful women.
