#WorkLikeABoss

You are the secret to making work better

Real power doesn't come with a title, a promotion, or managing a team. It comes from a sense of ownership and accountability that you can bring to the office every day.

In "Work Like a Boss," Nancy shares lessons learned through personal experience (and experiments) and what she has observed in her twenty-five years of business leadership. With her decades of skill in developing award-winning people-centered work cultures, let Nancy give you tough-love advice on things you've long forgotten are essential at work:

Identifying and using better mindsets and practices
Bringing your best self even when it's difficult
Overcoming your bad communication habits
Owning your sh*t
And more

You can help shape a healthier work culture through simple steps. Stop being a victim of work and start being the boss of your attitude, approach, and actions.
