The Secret Ingredient to a Dream Career and Life | Jenny Wood

Former Google executive Jenny Wood reveals how traits we're often told to suppress - like being weird, shameless, or obsessive - can become unexpected superpowers for success in her new book <a href="https://amzn.to/3FnH2R9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It."</a> Through stories like chasing her future husband off a NYC subway and leading billion-dollar operations, Jenny shows how embracing these characteristics unlocks extraordinary potential in work, relationships, and life.
