In Wild Courage, Jenny Wood presents the ultimate approach to pursuing what you want. Reclaiming nine traits - Weird, Selfish, Shameless, Obsessed, Nosy, Manipulative, Brutal, Reckless and Bossy - that are traditionally seen in a negative light, Wood reveals how to apply these qualities in a savvy and sane way to supercharge your chances of getting ahead, whether you're trying to snag a promotion, impress your new boss or land a life-changing deal.
Inspired by her popular coaching program at Google, Wood offers an arsenal of prompts to catapult you forward, like how to:
- Reframe the Shame to promote accomplishments without feeling icky
- Network with Nosiness to build relationships that help you climb
- Rack up Rejection to learn from your failures
Drawing on inspiring stories, surprising case studies and tips that pack a punch, Wild Courage will help you unleash your greatest gifts, unique quirks and boldest self. Success comes to those who are a bit much. Because a bit much, leads to much more.
