Came across this book after reading the Not Another Digital Transformation book by the same author.
Most valuable takeaway from this book were all the little toolkits and self-reflection guides. Not only do you see how MaryBeth put these into practice herself through her personal story that she shares, she helps you think of how you can step up to your true potential.
It feels like the author is championing you along your journey, saying, "You can do anything you want to!"
I'd recommend to anyone who wants a new job, pivot their career or find purpose in what they do.
