About Whale Hunting Women
Whale Hunting Women—how women do big deals in business and community. For inspiration, motivation, and direction, this book celebrates women as deal-makers and includes how to “break the minnow mindset” and how to create a fast-growth culture. It documents three cultural transformations that favor women’s leadership styles: the trend to replace competition with collaboration; the need to transform bureaucracy to entrepreneurship; and the value of perceiving a world of abundance rather than a culture of scarcity. The book offers advice on how small companies or organizations can manage their public presence to generate the whales’ confidence that they have the capabilities and professionalism to complete big deals with big customers and partners. The book incorporates a deal-maker’s journal; each chapter includes worksheets to prompt reflections and action plans.

Hello Rebecca,
Thank you for inviting me to visit your blog today. I am delighted to be introduced to the women who participate in 2 Higher Ground. "Whale Hunting Women" is my way of inspiring women to do big deals in their work, their communities, and their lives. I think women are good at making deals because we are collaborative, we like to teach and mentor, and we support one another's success. If anyone would like to comment or raise a question about the book or about Whale Hunting Women in general, I will be back to respond!
You know - 2 Higher Ground sounds like such a nice tie in for Whale Hunting Women since you are helping women learn to take their lives to a higher ground and a higher level. I know that Rebecca's blog visitors will benefit from the information in your book.
