🚨 IT’S HERE! 🚨 My new book WILD COURAGE is OUT NOW! 🎉 Get your copy now: https://lnkd.in/g6Z7ycG2 What if the traits that *actually* get you ahead are the opposite of what you’ve been told? As a former Google exec and career coach, I learned that success isn’t about waiting your turn or following the rules. It’s about courage—the kind that makes you stand out, speak up, and ask for what you want. In Wild Courage, I break down 9 bold traits—Obsessed, Weird, Selfish, Shameless, Nosy, Manipulative, Brutal, Reckless, and Bossy—that defy conventional career advice. These 9 traits are the key to getting promoted, building influence, and advancing faster than you ever thought possible. This isn’t just another career book. It’s a permission slip to stop playing small and start creating the career (and life) you actually want. Huge gratitude to Gretchen Rubin, Kim Scott, Daniel Pink, Tiago Forte, Noah Kagan, etc. for believing in this book and its message. Your endorsements mean so much.

One of the best things you can do for your career? BE UNPREPARED. Sounds reckless, right? We’ve been told success requires a 10-year plan… a 5-year plan… even a 1-year plan. But here’s the truth: You don’t even need a 3-month plan. What you need is to do the next thing. That’s exactly what my brilliant friend Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD explores in her new book, TINY EXPERIMENTS, out today. It’s all about ditching perfectionism and moving forward now — in small but powerful ways. I used to think getting ahead meant: ✅ Having a solid plan ✅ Feeling 100% ready ✅ Researching every detail before making a move That mindset kept me stuck. ❌ I hesitated before speaking up. ❌ I over-researched instead of just doing the thing. ❌ I waited for the perfect moment. But the “perfect moment” never comes. And most “preparation” is just procrastination in disguise. The fix? Tiny experiments. Instead of waiting until you feel ready, ask yourself: What’s the smallest version of this I can try right now? Here’s how: Thinking of a career pivot? 👉 Shadow someone or take on a freelance project. Want to be a better speaker? 👉 Share a quick tip at your next meeting. Considering a big project? 👉 Run a 10-day challenge. Want to get promoted? 👉 Schedule a 1:1 and ask what skills to focus on. Launching a side hustle? 👉 Offer your service to one person. Tiny moves create real data. And real data builds confidence. If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” before making a move…this is your sign. Run the tiny experiment. Take the step. Go. TINY EXPERIMENTS is packed with strategies to help, and I highly recommend it. Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD's book, TINY EXPERIEMENTS, is packed with practical strategies to turn hesitation into action.
