THE BIG SISTER'S
GUIDE TO THE WORLD OF WORK
THE INSIDE RULES EVERY GIRL MUST KNOWThe prevalent frustration inherent in navigating office politics and operations across various corporate environments has always been undeniable. Despite the plethora of classes taken in high school and college, there's a glaring absence of instruction on the essentials of communication, performance, and the intricate dynamics of office politics. I'm certain many of you can relate to it. Considering on average we spend 90,000 HOURS dedicated to our careers, mastering these fundamental skills should be prioritized in education around the world.
After failing and succeeding, I took it upon myself to fill the void for those just starting out and those who are knee deep and haven’t a clue. Thus, The Big Sister’s Guide to the World of Work was hatched. Having no idea to go about it, I asked around who knew who and what materials do you need to “pitch” a book. The journey from conceptualization to execution spanned a year and a half, marked by relentless inquiry and collaboration. If I can do it, you can to!
The book resulted in a remarkable and enduring piece of work that continues to resonate globally.
"EFFORTLESSLY ENGAGING..."

In The Big Sister’s Guide to the World of Work is Bridget Jones’s Diary meets The Nanny Diaries meets The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People – part confession, part thinly veiled exposé, part career survival/success guide.
The inevitable contradictions of workplace politics get many women more twisted up inside than pantyhose in the spin cycle. The Big Sister’s Guide deftly untangles and translates the alien language and rituals of the work world into comprehensible girl-powered terms that are anything but Plain Jane.
"AS EDGY AS
IT IS WISE..."
"AS EDGY AS IT IS WISE..."
Fluently propelled by a fearlessly candid, tragic/comic narrative of the authors’ unlikely journey from suburban know-nothings to the top of the New York media food chain (and the cannibalism they encountered when they arrived at the top), the thrust of The Big Sister’s Guide is the authors’ amusing and boldly opinionated advice regarding the hows, whys, whats, wherefores, and whatnots of getting in, getting ahead and staying ahead at work–without losing your head.
As edgy as it is wise, The Big Sister’s Guide to the World of Work refreshingly relevant and stylish take on career foundations like Be Snow White & Deal with Your Dwarves or taming the barking menagerie commonly referred to as colleagues is accessorized with a full line of “Duh’s and Don’ts” every woman should have in her working wardrobe. Ballsy and smart, DiFalco and Herz take the guesswork out of office behavior so that anyone at any corporate level can be her best self at work.
