Received a copy as part of a Goodreads Giveaway. The book is VERY short (33 pages) but informative. Overall, I thought there were some good insights, but definitely thought this could have been longer.
I was expecting tips about facilitating meetings but it was just about ring lights and zoom backgrounds and things I've already read a million times on buzzfeed since the pandemic began.
It was short with some decent tips but nothing was overly groundbreaking. Would have been better had she elaborated more on what has made her successful.
