She wrote the book.
Literally.
Before the masterclasses, the masterminds, the C-suite clients — there was the book that started it all. Published by Simon & Schuster, The Big Sister's Guide to the World of Work put into writing what Jocelyn had spent years learning the hard way: the rules that determine who gets ahead are never the ones anyone teaches you.
Practical tips for managing workplace politics, hidden agendas, and common communication challenges — applicable and realistic.
— Verified Reader, Goodreads
"Loved this book and recommend it often. Not a heavy read, but one that will teach new tricks."
"Definitely one of those books you earmark and highlight all over the place — recommended by a Davidson graduate whose boss gave it to her."
"This is the ultimate mentor for women — part therapist, part manual. Required reading for any woman who wants to get ahead."
"Funny, witty, and so truthful! Let these big sisters mentor you."
"You'll find many morsels of workplace wisdom on each and every page of this book."
"Describes the world as it is, not as we'd like it to be. Refreshingly honest — the best book in its category."
The rules they never
taught you in school.
The unwritten rules
don't change.
You can earn every credential, ace every interview, and still walk into your first job — or your twentieth — completely unprepared for how work actually works.
Who gets credit and who gets passed over. How power moves through a room. Why some people get heard and others don't. These aren't soft skills. They are the skills.
This book was written because no one was being honest about them. Two decades later, nothing has changed — except that the women reading it now are handing it to the women they mentor.
This book is for you if
you're ready to stop guessing.
