Go!: Reboot Your Career in 90 Days

by Lisa Thee

Overview

Create a career that is true to you.
 
There are more challenges than ever facing you at work and at home: Many corporate cultures still struggle to fully respect differences. Health impacts at work and at home are rising from ever-present technology and the wake of COVID-19. And recession threats can wreak havoc on job security. As a result, too many rising stars like you get pushed out of the leadership pipeline, suffer through toxic work situations, or see their careers cut short.
 
Don’t stay in a job that is the wrong fit. Go! shows you how to listen to your gut and make a thoughtful and savvy plan toward a truly fulfilling career. Equal parts validation, empowerment, and guide, Go! provides powerful examples of career transformation from a wide array of leaders and outlines a versatile 90-day career reboot plan. Go! also opens leaders’ eyes to work culture improvements that can help them keep stellar and diverse talent.
