Order my NYT bestselling book: itsjennywood.com/book. WILD COURAGE: Go After What You Want and Get It will help you get seen, get heard, and get ahead.

Join 70K+ others who read my newsletter at itsjennywood.com/newsletter. It’s full of free tips to get what you really want in life.

18 years ago, I was an anxious, entry-level employee at Google. 

Then I chased my future-husband off the subway and gave him my number.

That moment made me realize the life I want won’t just happen to me. 

I have to chase it. And so do you! 

That mentality led me to become an executive at Google running a large operations team that helps drive tens of billions in revenue a year. I also founded Own Your Career, a large career development initiative at Google with tens of thousands of people benefitting.

After climbing the ranks from entry-level to executive, I realize something. What if the traits you need to get ahead are the exact opposite of what you’ve been told? To be successful you need to be:

Weird
Selfish
Shameless
Obsessed
Nosy
Manipulative
Brutal
Reckless
Bossy

And that takes courage. Wild amounts of it.

So I wrote a book! It’s called, WILD COURAGE: Go After What You Want and Get It, and it became an instant New York Times bestseller. 😮

I’m so excited for you to order it at itsjennywood.com/book and be more bold, persuasive, and successful. 

Follow me for advice to achieve your goals and get what you want. Unapologetically. 

The opinions I state on LinkedIn and other public forums are my own, not those of any past or present company.

Connect With Your BIG Vision For Life & Start Living It Now | Envisioning | Host of The Mindful FIRE Podcast

There are only two ways to maximize your team's potential:

1. Push your vision on them and hope they follow along.

2. Create a BIG shared vision that helps them achieve their own goals.

Most leaders fall into the first category.

Even if you're bringing the team together for expensive off-sites, you're struggling to get real engagement and buy-in.

Which is why you see people glued to their phones or worse, falling asleep.

Resulting in wasted money, missed opportunities, and people counting down the minutes until happy hour.

Best case scenario - you get 1 in 5 people to remember your vision.

On top of that, you're probably struggling with mounting pressure from above:

"How are we going to hit these massive targets?" "How can we do more with less?" "How do I get the most out of my people?"

Now, imagine after your next team event, everyone leaves with a BIG shared vision that they helped create and are excited to bring to life.

You get connection, curiosity, creativity and conversation flowing from the start.

You unlock your team's most innovative and ambitious ideas about what's possible.

You're seeing 10X ROI on your team events.

"How am I going to make that happen?", I hear you ask.

Here's how.

By starting with my proven Ask What's Possible Workshop, taking your event from "when's happy hour?" to "I can't wait to bring this vision to life!"

Working with me, you get:

1. A high-level facilitator who's led sessions for 3500+ Googlers
2. Connection and creativity without cringy "icebreakers"
3. Space to THINK REALLY BIG about what's possible
4. A shared vision that everyone is uniquely bought into
5. A team excited to make that vision reality

My results speak for themselves:

"Adam was masterful as he guided us through exercises to expand our perspective of what we could be and do." - Google VP at CEO's Leadership Conference

"Adam is exceptional - this is a super power! He was able to reach every one of the 20+ participants and make a HUGE difference for our team" - Google Workshop Participant

“I think this should be offered at every Google CEO Leadership Conference” - Google VP at Sundar Pichai’s Leadership Conference

I have more of these, but LinkedIn says I'm out of characters.

Back to you.

Are you tired of unproductive team events? Are you ready to unlock your team's full potential?

Then let's talk.

Wow I can't believe the day has finally come! 

After nearly six years hosting The Mindful FIRE Podcast we just crossed 100,000 downloads! 

A huge thank you to all of the incredible guests who shared their stories, knowledge, and wisdom with me and the audience! 

And a huge thank you to everyone who has listened to an episode or meditation on the podcast! 

My goal was never to build the biggest podcast with the most downloads. 

Rather, doing this podcast was about helping me know myself more deeply and to identify what I wanted to do after retiring early from Google. 

I can confidently say that it did that! 

Through incredible conversations with people from all walks of life, I got clear on my gifts and what I want to bring to the world in this next chapter of life. 

Now, 14 months after retiring early from Google, I continue to learn and grow from these conversations and continue to refine and move towards my own BIG vision for life. 

So.... 

Thank you for listening. 
Thank you for joining me on the show! 
Thank you for being a part of this wild adventure!
