How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings: Non-Threatening Leadership Strategies for Women

Comedian, star of the Netflix special Everything's Fine, and Trump lip-syncing sensation Sarah Cooper illustrates how women can achieve their dreams, succeed in their careers, and become leaders, all without harming the fragile male ego.
