This week we received a Press Release about a new advice book titled: “PokerWoman: How to Win at Love, Life, and Business using the Principles of Poker”

Written by Ellen Leikind, a successful marketing executive, PokerWoman is not a “how to play” book, instead it enables women to make the most of the card they are dealt to win at life, love and business. Apply winning poker strategies to all aspects of your life, even if you’ve never played a hand of cards before. That’s the message Leikind has in her new book.

Because her message is really about empowerment, Leikind has attracted support from poker players and advice experts alike. “Poker strategies can enable you to achieve your goals—in your career or in your personal life,” says Kathy Liebert, a top poker tournament player. “Find your strengths and capitalize on them. Recognize your weaknesses and learn from them. This book will furnish you with the tools to do both.”
“These are lessons to share with your girlfriends, your sisters and your daughters,” adds Melissa Meyers, editor-in-chief of AskMelissa.com.
“Forget golf! For women, the new way to the boardroom is Texas Hold ‘Em.” said Jane Bryant Quinn, author, Smart and Simple Financial Strategies for Busy People. The skills you learn at the poker table—strategy, bluffing, risk evaluation and maintaining that good old poker face—make you a better executive.
