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:

1. ?Reframe the Shame' to promote accomplishments without feeling icky
2. ?Network with Nosiness' to build relationships that help you climb
3. ?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.
