In CAREER COMEBACK, Lisa acknowledges that experience matters, but also that looking and acting up-to-date matter just as much. Through ten strategies, she’ll help midcareer women stand out to get the job they want. From “Botoxing” your resume, and using tech-savvy tricks for starting and improving your website or blog, to online networking and updating your wardrobe, Lisa shares the secrets that will get you noticed and on the payroll.

Through both her Blog Talk Radio Show “What’s your Bottom Line” and Ustream live internet TV show “The Angie Strader Show” she features a variety of interesting guests with diverse backgrounds that all have one thing in common - they are successful and find a way to make a positive difference. Angie enjoys giving everyone a voice to share their message or personal aspiring story. Angie’s list of guest requests have grown since launching her radio and tv show, her mission is to inspire others to greatness through profiling guests who are making a difference. Angie is a woman that believes in getting to the bottom line when it comes to living a happy and fulfilling life. Having faced many opportunities that tested her own overall happiness at various points in her life, Angie knew it was up to her to continue to live a life unfulfilled and unhappy or take a leap of faith to do something different, so she decided to break away and take charge of her life. Angie believes that no matter how bad some circumstances are, you can always find your way back to happiness and become stronger along the way and she is living proof of that. Angie received her business degree from Texas A&M late in life, and has a professional background of 20+ years of leadership, management and corporate training.
