Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It
From Google executive, coach, and creator of the Own Your Career program, an empowering and practical guide to chasing after what you want

You know where you want to go. You know you have it within you. You simply need the courage to do it.

In Wild Courage, Jenny Wood helps you overcome whatever is holding you back from going after your biggest ambitions. Reclaiming nine characteristics from their negative shackles —Weird, Selfish, Shameless, Obsessed, Nosy, Manipulative, Brutal, Reckless, and Bossy—Wood teaches you how to apply each one of these traits in a savvy and sane way to supercharge your chances of getting ahead, whether you’re trying to snag a stretch promotion, impress your new boss, or land a life-changing deal.

Inspired by her popular coaching program, Wood offers an arsenal of tactical prompts to catapult you forward, like how to:

  • "Play it Hot" to stand out
  • "Network with Nosiness" to build relationships that help you climb
  • "Rack up Rejection" to learn from your failures

Wild Courage is a powerful playbook that gives you permission to unleash your greatest gifts and be your boldest self in pursuit of what you want. Success comes to those who have the courage to be a bit much. Because a bit much, leads to much more.
