After working for almost two decades as a television and film producer, Danielle Weinstock has written a must-read book that will show women at all levels how to navigate the complexities of the business world while maintaining a rewarding and self fulfilling career.
In this debut title, Can This Elephant Curtsy on Cue? Life Lessons Learned on a Film Set For Women in Business, Danielle shares her experiences from the sets of major motion pictures and various television series.
Danielle’s unique experiences with eccentric celebrities, restrictive budgets, dangerous stunt sequences, third world technology and even uncooperative animals (from an escaped mountain lion to fussy elephants!) have taught her how to survive and even thrive by stretching her own limitations to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles and deadlines.
Also, as a single working mother raising a young daughter, she has worked to take projects that allow her to balance career and family. The result shaped her career philosophy and management style, elements which she details with fascinating anecdotes that are both entertaining and educational. Women who read Can This Elephant Curtsy on Cue? will come away with valuable career lessons. They will learn:
- How to find and follow your passion
- How to successfully change career paths
- When to take your peers’ advice and when to ignore it
- How to manage others by finding and fostering their strengths
- Why, if you don’t value yourself at work, no one else will
- How to work with difficult people
- What works and what doesn’t in achieving work-life balance
