Agent You: Show Up, Do the Work, and Succeed on Your Own Terms

by Nicole Lynn

What does it take to achieve your personal and professional goals? When is the right time to take calculated risks, and how do you prepare for the moment when opportunity presents itself?

If anyone can show you how to do this, it’s Nicole Lynn. As the first Black female agent to represent a top three NFL draft pick, Nicole worked her way from childhood poverty to become a Wall Street financial analyst, then attorney, and now top agent to elite athletes and entertainers.

In a male-dominated profession, her success was earned through a combination of hard work, preparation, self-advocacy, tenacity, and faith.

"In this book, Nicole reveals her incredible journey and how she got where she is today." -Gabrielle Union (from the foreword)

Agent You shares Nicole’s key strategies for creating a plan and executing it, even in the face of self-doubt and external obstacles.

In Agent You, Nicole will teach you how to:


Discover and stay focused on your purpose.
Develop your personal brand and advocate for yourself.
Prepare for big opportunities.
Land your dream job.
Manage your workload and still prioritize self-care.
Each chapter includes exercises to help you implement the strategies presented, so you can start working toward your goals today. You define what success looks like, unlock a plan to succeed on your own terms.

What will your legacy be? Regardless of what life’s challenges you face, everyone can own their success story and walk in their purpose -- and Nicole believes you are your best agent.

I’m sure many will find this book helpful. I did not. In fact, I found it painful to read this book for these reasons:

1. I found out about her from an Instagram post about Jalen Hurts surrounding himself with an all-woman support team, including Lynn whose client list included Quinnen Williams, the #1 NFL draft pick. I was excited to read this book, thinking it was a memoir. Instead, it is a self-help book. I’m retiring in a couple months, so this book was inapplicable to me and my career. All the advice in here are also among all the many reasons I’m retiring early. It was going to trigger some form of light PTSD in me if it had gone on another chapter.
2. Too much attribution to God: I get she holds her Christian ideals and relationships dear, and that’s great for her. But it felt like she was assuming that we all believe in God (or the same God), or that we should, and that this God would be/could be as instrumental in our careers as has been for her, if only we “let go and let God.” I’m an atheist, and I found this presumption offensive.

At least the book was short. I wish her continued success, especially because I love to see women, especially women of one or more intersectionalities succeed big time in the big leagues. However, I’ll never read another of her books.

Rounding up to two.

I was interested in this book because she seems like a dope sports agent (Yasss, Jalen Hurts!), and I wanted to learn more about her. However, this book left much to be desired.

This book is for young adults in college or recent grads who don’t know where to start or how to play the corporate game. I would have rated it 5 stars about 10 years ago.

The tips are generic and corporate-approved. One of her favorite books is by Sheryl Sandberg, so that makes sense. She mentioned her upbringing but breezed by it. Why? I bet if she went deeper, more people could identify with her journey and better understand the tips and tools she cultivated.

"Nicole worked her way from childhood poverty to become a Wall Street financial analyst, then attorney, and now top agent to elite athletes and entertainers." If she chooses to write a book again in about 20 years, I hope she’ll be able to be more specific about her upbringing, more vulnerable about her growth, and more insightful beyond the corporate fluff.

I want to be Nicole Lynn when I grow up?! I was recently at a networking event with a firm where Nicole Lynn came up as an example for an answer to a question regarding how the firm encouraged the pursuit and growth of the passions of their associates. I knew that I had to look her up from here because this question has been my biggest fear heading into the legal field. Essentially wondering if I will still able to be curious.

I so greatly appreciate how she spoke of her work as an attorney. During recruiting, they want to just woo us, even though we know the realities of the work that we have ahead of us. Her honesty was refreshing and reviving. She didn’t try to hide the ball and that gave me so much peace. While I was reading this I got excited for the first time (at least in a while) of what was to come in the career ahead of me, and I can only be thankful for that renewed perspective at this point.

This book was so dynamic. She hit pillars that were important in my own life and to see how she upheld them in her own journey was fascinating. I’m not really in the place where this was a book that I could completely put into practice (although she gives you lots of practical space to do so), but I did learn a lot that I will even carry with me as I start my career in this field. I’m excited to come back to this book when I feel like I’m at a spot that I can actually delve into it deeper and apply more. For now, it was all that I needed to see read the story of a black woman lawyer who had passions and purpose that she did not ignore. Seriously, I hope to be like her.

4.5 stars!! a super well written book! nicole lynn is so inspiring and there was so much helpful advice to be successful and pursue my dreams. i will definitely be going back to this book quite a lot during my years in high school and beyond. i love how she incorporated her faith into the book and made it super comprehensible and easy to get through!

[Parker | simplybibliophiles · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have been a big fan of Nicole Lynn since she represented Quinnen Williams in the 2019 NFL Draft, not to mention all the work she has been doing with Jalen Hurts (YES TO THE BLACK FOLKS).

That said, I’m saddened that this book was not for me! Let me be clear: it was not bad; it’s just not for me and where I am, professionally or personally. Not to be shady, this book is for the babies > those who are new in their careers OR individuals (of any age) who are doing a MAJOR pivot in their professional or personal lives. Outside of that, love Nicole from afar and SKIP IT.

….

First, I’m unsure why this book is tagged as a memoir. Except for the Quinnen Williams story, every other story touched on was written short, sweet, and surface-level, at best. As I understand it, she has an upcoming show on STARZ, produced by 50 Cent, that will be about her life, so maybe she didn’t want to give us too much. Still, she touches on each story as if she is trying to engage a viewer/listener in a speaking engagement rather than trying to engage a reader.

Second, when you are writing a self-help book, while I appreciate the honesty, I think it is WILD that you would admit that you generally do not follow or have trouble consistently following the advice that you are giving to the reader.
I’m not expecting mastery or perfection, but there were A NUMBER of times where Nicole specifically mentioned in the book that she either struggles to follow this advice or doesn’t (and even uses the word “hypocrite”) while ACTIVELY giving the reader the same advice. It’s giving ‘Why are we here’?

Third, it is evident that Nicole is a work-horse, a workaholic, whatever word you want to use. In one chapter, she used a juggling metaphor to explain how every person juggles multiple balls representing things in their life, and you have to determine what you are unwilling to drop. She goes on to say that her career is a ball that she would NEVER drop. Which…girl…to each is own but also GIRL NO!
To her credit, she is honest about how much she works (Y’all, I didn’t know she has TWO FULL-TIME JOBS) and how it is ridiculous. But what pisses me off is that she also discusses how hustle culture is pervasive in greater culture but then doesn’t directly bring that back to how that is relevant to her, nor does she touch on how she herself is resisting or attempting to resist its messaging. Or how the reader can resist it themselves. It’s like, girl, then why even bring it up?

Fourth, her advice was generally decent and framed interestingly but still relatively novel. Same with the exercises at the end of each chapter: very generic, PBS special, and not novel in any way. All of them were exercises that I have seen in somebody else’s self-help book.

…

Nicole Lynn is a remarkably talented, hardworking, and super-qualified individual. However, I have heard/seen her give talks that were more concise, more detailed, and more inspiring than this entire book.

Overall, I think the book was premature. This has nothing to do with her age or meteoric rise in the sports agent space. She has clearly worked her behind off and sacrificed A LOT. And for that, I have immense respect!

But also, she accomplished so much in such a relatively short time; it would have been nice for her to wait a few years and give us EVERYTHING, rather than surface-level stories, basic advice, and admitting that she is not following the advice that she is giving. Also, on multiple occasions, she references that more details of a specific story will be told in a later book. THEN MAAM, WHY ARE WE HERE?

If you are going to give us a memoir, give us a memoir. If you are not in the space to be following ALL of the advice you are espousing (regardless of how much you have mastered it) consistently, you are ill-qualified to be giving it to others. But I still love Nicole and don’t regret buying this book. I just want celebrities/public figures to be mindful of how they present their stories and give advice. While also self-aware enough to know that while they are successful and hardworking, it doesn’t mean they should be giving advice (to the babies or otherwise).

Chasing our dreams is utterly terrifying. Stepping out of our comfort zone and into uncharted territory is a venture that will cause many to look the other way. However, those who are attempting to propel themselves into a new chapter of life need look no further than Nicole Lynn's Agent You. The book sets a blueprint for success in any field, one that Nicole Lynn has followed through her rise to greatness. Lynn shares stories of success, failure, and vulnerability that ultimately serves her purpose of wanting to help others reach their potential. With action steps at the end of each chapter, the book becomes a masterclass on how to approach the steps to achieve one's goals. Personally, as an aspiring agent who sees Nicole Lynn as an expert in turning opposition into opportunity, there were several excerpts from the book that I resonated with deeply. Quotes such as "When you leave this Earth, plan to leave it better than you found it" (p. 42), inspire the reader to leave a proud legacy, in its simplest form. Lynn’s encouragement to define one’s own version of success fosters clarity and a heightened sense of focus. Finally, as enthralling as stories of success might be, Lynn chronicles many of her failures, proving that adversity can be welcomed as a source of opportunity with a fresh perspective. Ultimately, Agent You is a roadmap to success, whether the reader is a young student starting their career, or a single parent that's simply trying to put food on the table. As children, we are all wide eyed and have lavish goals of being astronauts, athletes, and movie stars, until we reach adulthood and become hampered by what we think we know about the "realities" of life. Agent You shows that our dreams are much closer to us than we think.

Read an advanced copy of Agent You in one sitting and it was fantastic! Agent Nicole Lynn's journey thus far is nothing short of inspiring. Her book tells you what to do, when to do it, and why. I recommend it to people in every season of their lives. There is a jewel or two that will put you on track to living the life that you deserve. Read it now. That is all.

“Where you are going in life, everyone cannot come with you.” -Nicole Lynn

This book offered so many gems but the above quote really made me sit up straight in my seat. Agent You is more than just a personal testimony and, “self-help” book. It is a book that really spoke to my spirit as I read the many pages.

Prior to this read I was not too familiar with Nicole Lynn but as I read, I felt like I was able to gain some great tips and life lessons on owning and becoming my own agent in life. Nicole provides great recommendations along with actual tasks and steps to do. The many topics include self-care, obtaining a seat at the table, owning your authentic self, staying ready, etc. so many great topics! The book is really easy to read and the topics were relevant to the world we live in.

I am thankful for NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

[Olivia Lightfoot · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nicole definitely gives great advice here, but there are some aspects I simply can’t agree with, the largest being “sacrificing” your health for work. I understand that this was her own “sacrifice” and that we each would have our own, but I felt like she was almost promoting this sacrifice and glorifying it. In a world where work/life balance is becoming more and more important, I felt like this was a bit out of touch with reality. Similarly, promoting working for free in order to gain experience didn’t sit well with me. I come from the world of architecture and this is one of the biggest crack downs in our field, as unpaid internships have been notorious in architecture over the years. Specifically in this profession, you could easily work 60 hours a week without noticing the time fly by. If you are working this much and this hard, you deserve compensation. I understand Nicole’s point, but I don’t agree with promoting this idea into the minds of young adults who have bills to pay and only a limited amount of time on this planet.

[Bogens Liv · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Horizon for the review copy. Although I received this book as a review copy, are all of my words honest, and I do only give my true opinions.

The author of the book "Agent you", Nicole Lynn was the first female agent to represent a top three NFL draft pick. She grew up in poverty and worked her way up and became a Wall Street financial analyst and later on a top agent to elite athletes and entertainers. The book describes her way through life and how to gain success. It furthermore describes how to work somewhere, where males have the main roles. It is a story of hard work and faith. And it is most importantly a story of finding yourself and your worth.

How do we achieve goals in life? How to find purpose in life? And how do you find peace with your purpose? Well, those are three difficult questions to answer, but you might get a bit closer to your answer after reading this book. I sure did.

So how do you get your dream job? That is another question answered in the book. I do not want to spoil it, but let us just say, that some of the points really got me thinking.

Through her own personal story, Nicole Lynn describes the way to success through hard work and confidence.

I love the way Nicole Lynn uses herself to explain her points. It makes it so much more relatable and understandable. Like getting fired twice in one week - well that is just one of the stories you will learn about in the book. You might not have tried the exact same thing, but something similar or as devastating has probably happened to you.

Nicole Lynn is a very inspirational woman, and her book certainly supports that!

[Nicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Being an Australian, I have to admit I did not know who Nicole Lynn was. Having seen this book on NetGalley, I was intrigued as I have dabbled in the business side of sport and also love watching many (if not all) team sports. I loved the idea that a female agent had written a book and it was a no-brainer for me to request it.

Wow. Agent Nicole Lynn is a powerhouse. What an inspiration. Having come from a childhood of poverty and violence, Nicole Lynn worked her way up with sheer drive and determination. Her life may seem perfect from a career perspective, but she makes it sure you understand the sacrifices she has made to be where she is.

Perhaps the most powerful aspect of Lynn's book, is her message about staying true to yourself. Hence the name "Agent You". Lynn recognises that her superpower and what has made her into a brand is setting herself apart from the rest. Something that's sounds so simple, but is so hard for so many of us to do.

While this is classified as a self-help book, Lynn admits that the part of her life that she hasn't mastered is relaxing and slowing down. She's very open with this, and also with her struggles with anxiety. It's refreshing for someone so successful to openly admit that they struggle with certain parts of their life they should be focusing on.

This is an incredible book, for anyone who is interested in the business side of sport, specifically NFL. Not only that, anyone who needs advice on how to build themselves into a brand despite where they come from.

Once in a while I download books that appear as “Recommended” on my Kindle or Amazon account, without reading any reviews. Sometimes I discover literary treasures and sometimes I discover that I have merely wasted my time reading it. However, I keep on doing it, as I like to be surprised. :)

“Agent You” is one of these books.
I knew nothing of Nicole Lynn, but I was pleasantly surprised by her life and her achievements. She is a really hard worker, has managed to accomplish some impressive goals and will definitely go on to accomplish even more.
However, I feel that “Agent you” was a very generic, rather superficial, somewhat motivational book, that she decided to write with the purpose of cashing in on her popularity.

[Minerva · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to love this book, I really did, I didn’t though. I’m literally cringing writing this review😔 While there were some gems throughout I didn’t found myself feeling overly compelled or inspired, and I had to force myself to finish it. There were times I had literal WTF moments with some of the unhealthy (and harmful) habits discussed. Could be I’m not the target demographic (late 30’s) for it.

[Arlene · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book to think through career and purpose. While success requires hard work and discipline, I’m not into the “by any means” necessary part. The level of effort she follows is not sustainable for normal humans. ;) It’s a good book for professional woman seeking to reset and (re)define their purpose to ensure career aligns to fabulous expectations.

[Jennise Beverly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Didn't enjoy this book. Nothing new under the sun. Would be good for someone younger.

[Tamika Evans · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really respect Nicole Lynn and the incredible success she has accomplished. She is truly an inspiration and will undoubtedly serve as a powerful role model for many aspiring lawyers, agents, and young professionals.

This book was filled with gems from beginning to end. It was written well, easy to follow, and packed with solid advice.

That said, I initially thought Agent You was a memoir, and I wouldn’t categorize it as such. It stayed very surface level in most aspects and didn’t dive as deeply into Nicole’s personal journey as I expected.

In my opinion, this book is best suited for young adults or those who are just beginning their careers. The guidance and reflections offered are extremely valuable for readers still finding their footing in life or looking for clarity as they build toward their dreams.

One thing I loved about this book was how it sparked real conversations in my own household. I literally sat my children down, ages 19 and 16, and read specific chapters to them. We used those moments to discuss goals, careers, and the importance of preparation. For that reason alone, I’m grateful I read it. It became a tool for family growth and insight.

If I didn’t have young people in my life to share it with, I might have found it a bit too surface-level and juvenile for where I am in my own professional and personal journey. But that doesn’t take away from its value for the right audience.

Again, I have deep admiration for Nicole Lynn. I believe she has so much to offer the world, and Agent You is a great starting point for young readers looking to tap into their own potential

[Schuyler Corbin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Agent You by Nicole Lynn is a motivational and action-oriented book designed to help its readers become their own most effective advocates. Each chapter is designed to help the reader learn a new theme pertaining to professional and personal advancement and includes activities to further reinforce the chapter’s message. Lynn uses a mixture of personal testimony and life coaching to illustrate her lessons in practice.

The book imparts important and effective tools for developing a better attitude toward achieving one’s goals, but Lynn makes clear from the outset that it is written as a book meant to get its reader to take action. While the general lessons were helpful, I mainly enjoyed the autobiographical chapters of the book because they humanized Lynn and really helped illustrate how she put the lessons she learned into practice. The “Mamba Mentality” and the “Fail Forward” lessons were particularly inspiring; in the world of sports business, these were two very important and powerful messages. We often only get to see the “highlight reels” of our heroes’ lives, so reading about her failures makes you appreciate her success even more.

The self-help style of the book is helpful for those who are genuinely lacking and/or searching for guidance with: getting to the next level in their careers, finding their purposes, and finding motivation to conquer their own obstacles.

"You will lose, but you win when you keep going." (Nicole Lynn)

I had the pleasure of reading this book a couple of weeks ago, and it is filled with practical advice and wise insight, especially for those of us who are overcome with the magnitude of things we must do in order to pursue our dreams...or sometimes even just to survive.

We get caught up in how much needs to be done and temporarily conquered by the What Ifs and How Longs, but Nicole reminds us to start where we can with what we have. She gives great advice on how to do that, no matter where you are, what you have (or lack), or what you want to do.

There are so many quote-worthy lines, paragraphs, and CHAPTERS in this book, but this one resonated with me so much. I feel like I've lost over and over and over, no matter how hard I work to heal, to grow, and to move toward my purpose. I often feel like I'm running against the clock and I'm going to lose to it too. So on the very day I read this line, I desperately needed this reminder.

I've already begun the "homework" inspired by her book and taken small steps toward goals which have overwhelmed and held me captive me for quite some time now.

If you're feeling stuck, need motivation, or just want to hear more about Nicole's journey, this book is well worth your time!

[Celestine]

I read Agent You at the perfect time. I have been stuck in a rut for almost a year now. I have big dreams and aspirations to work in sports someday, but I haven’t had the motivation to make those dreams happen. That was partly because I didn’t know where to start, but this book was the push that I needed. I have long suffered from imposter syndrome and this book is exactly what I needed as a reminder to go out and fight for me and to not settle. I have looked up to Nicole Lynn for a few years now, but I thought what she had was basically unattainable for me. So, I am extremely grateful that she wrote this book. It is a blueprint for people to go after what they want, achieve their goals and be their own agent, just like she did. This is definitely a book to take lots of notes on and to re-read multiple times. Even if you aren’t struggling like me, this book has so many great gems to take away about your career, your dreams and just life in general. I will be telling everyone I know to buy a copy! Thank you, Nicole, for writing this book! It will change lives; it has already changed mine!

“We are the Secret Sauce”. #WomenInSports || 10/10 Definitely Recommend

Agent Nicole Lynn has been nothing but a ray of sunshine in my life since discovering her over two years ago. Not only have I been able to witness greatness in the making, I was able to discover my life’s purpose along the way. Realistically, it was not easy, however looking back, I could happily say that I conquered the trials and tribulations thrown in my direction, and will continue to do so. Emphasizing on how grateful I am, Nicole and her book, “Agent You” gives its audience the reassurance and guidance that is found to be essential in life. By reading page after page, she recites and utilizes her own personal experiences to tell her story, as well as laying out her blueprint to success for the readers. Agent Nicole Lynn capitalizes her mission of putting her supporters onto “free game”, which I am all for.
She is a great inspiration of mine, and I will forever adore her and her work tremendously.

[Kimberly Paige · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all Let Me Say Bravo Mrs. Lynn. I have followed this woman's career since the beginning and to read the book was an honor. I didn't realize everything she went through to be the successful person she is. I wanted to be an agent and worked with agencies but didn't have a law degree and honestly wasn't going back to school at my age to get one. Instead I opened a few businesses. a sports relocation business, got my appraisal license and now my beauty company. This book helped me in my drive to make these businesses a success. I even stepped out and got married after 7 months of dating. This book lit a fire that was truly needed and appreciated. This book is the support on paper needed. The questions within the book make you think and truly evaluate your life. Thank you Nicole Lynn. Thank You for letting the world in ......

[June · Rating 5 out of 5]

Undoubtedly the best decision was made by following her on social media; thank God I stumbled upon Nicole; from her life story to her classic powerful career moves and career transformation for women of color, she gave this reader hope that at any age or stage, anything is possible by putting God first and following those gut instincts. The introduction of "Agent You" starts as a page-turning profound look into how human and relatable she is for anyone growing up with or without the best of both worlds. A self-help book is not the word to define this book more like a guide to envision God's plan by trusting the process sharing the sauce she speaks of without hesitation. Knowing what it is to be broke or not giving 100% to something, then jotting down why even do the things we do in the first chapter, was life-changing. What resonated with the most was these four believes Nicole simplified in her book for finding one's purpose, giving them the name of the "Four Somethings," Something Good, Something Enjoyable, and Something Impacting the World, Something Free, using those as a way to set daily goals is simple and easy to remember. Grab a copy of the book; being fortunate to start the advance copy was worth every minute, telling everyone how inspiring her story is more uplifting than saying she is the top female sports agent; Nicole has a story beyond this book simply from the introduction, which has helped doors open just by taking notes in the first chapter. Awesome Read.

I listened to the audio version. I will definitely have to get the physical book to highlight some passages to keep in front of me for motivation. I got the book to do a mother-daughter book discussion because my daughter wants to become an athletic trainer in the NFL. She dropped so many nuggets of wisdom that I know my daughter can execute and be successful. I loved the openness and transparency of the author. Definitely a must read for people who want actionable steps to be successful in their purpose. I absolutely loved her trailblazing spirit. The audio version was like listening to an old friend cheer you to success with their personal testimony and instructions on how and why it works for them.

I deeply admire Agent Nicole Lynn, she is a superstar. There are so many elements I loved about this book, her vulnerability to share how hard she works and her core sacrifices, the tangibles about creating a brand and pillars, her refreshing honesty and personal stories and life examples. I would have loved to learn more about her upbringing (she mentions but doesn’t dive in, perhaps too personal for her) and I would have loved to hear about her journey through Wall Street, Law school. I was surprised to learn she wasn’t a full time agent and worked full time! I would have loved a bit more ‘show’ not tell but, all in all, I wish this book was longer! Here’s hoping for a second book in the future.

[Tacha Cius · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s encouraging, motivating-contains raw, detailed events that occurred in her life that makes you say ‘Wow’. And you don’t have to be a sports enthusiast because it targets you as an individual reaching your highest potential in whatever field that may be. Nicole provides tips, advice and practical assessments to help you take control of your life and to alwaysbet on yourself! One of my favorite lines is when she says, “It’s not about do you have what it takes but are you willing to DO what it takes to be successful because success isn’t always pretty”. I can see myself reading this book again because it’s one of those type of books.

Agent You is the best book I have read all year. It is chock-full of great advice. My book looks totally used with notes all through each chapter. I was truly conflicted reading the book, the questions and assignments are very thoughtful and useful. You want to pause to complete the questions, but you want to also forge ahead to finish the book. The content is fresh, and honest. Ms. Lynn reveals both her triumphs and her struggles in a way that is relatable, and real. I am going to take her advice and shoot my shot. I am looking forward to sitting down with her soon to discuss her book, life, and next level, www.brothersmalls.com. Agent You is a must read.

Agent You is beautifully written as it masterfully identifies, articulates, and explains the most prevalent challenges most of us face on the road to finding purpose and success. Nicole’s candor, authenticity, and vulnerability are refreshing and, certainly, appreciated in a world where façades are typically preferred to reality and lack of transparency often leaves us wondering, “am I the only one?” Truly, this book will count as an asset to all who turn its pages.

Fun, Easy-To-Read — and Inspirational

Part memoir, part action-guide — Nicole Lynn’s “Agent You” inspired me to get out pen and paper, take stock, and plan my own roadmap for a new “life mission” I’ve recently embarked on. After reading through the book once, I’ve clarified my goal and things have started happening because I’m “taking the shots.” Can’t wait to start putting more of her tips into play!

This is an inspiring read meant to help you change your life for the better. Nicole Lynn is the first African American woman to have an NFL player drafted in the top three pick while also a practicing attorney. And she worked hard in a male dominated field. I was able to get through this book in one sitting. Not only did it give highlights of the author's life, it also is motivational. Very good read

I received a copy of the book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review

I guess you would classify this book as self help right? Either way, this was better than other books about bettering yourself. This book is catered to women in some ways, I still was able to benefit from reading it. She gives you examples in her life that explains how to apply her tips to bettering yourself in your career.
