Success isn’t about fitting in—it’s about standing out. Yet too many of us hold back, afraid to be seen as too ambitious, too direct, too much. The truth? Embracing the traits others fear—like being weird, selfish, or reckless—are your secret weapons. It’s time to unlock your true potential! Join us for an electrifying conversation with Jenny Wood, author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It.

Jenny Wood, a former Google leader and top career coach, knows firsthand what it means to take bold risks—including chasing down a stranger on the subway and later marrying him. In Wild Courage, drawing from her own experiences and research, she challenges the idea that certain traits are flaws and instead reveals how they can be your greatest assets. Being labeled bossy, brutal, or manipulative can actually mean you’re on the right path. By strategically reclaiming and redefining qualities often seen as negative, she challenges conventional wisdom for achieving success, giving you full permission to ditch the fear, silence self-doubt, and unapologetically go after what you want.—whether in your career, personal life, or leadership journey.

In this conversation, you’ll discover how to:

  • Win by being fully yourself—because playing it safe is a losing game
  • Advocate for yourself and your goals without guilt;
  • Conquer impostor syndrome and master the art of self-promotion;
  • Influence others through empathy and strategic persuasion;
  • Use curiosity as your most powerful networking tool;
  • Set boundaries and stand firm—even when it’s uncomfortable

If you’re ready to step into the fearless, unfiltered version of your authentic self and harness the traits that make you stand out, this conversation is for you. Success belongs to those who have the courage to claim it.
