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.
