Abstract:
"A revolutionary guide for improving your workplace experience, with hilariously relatable anecdotes and tips for professional growth, from popular podcast host and veteran human resources specialist Laurie Ruettimann"-- Provided by publisher.

Chances are you've spent the past few months cooped up inside, buried under a relentless news cycle and work that never seems to switch off. Ruettimann found that, if she wanted a fulfilling existence, she couldn't sit around and wait for change-- she had to truly take a hold of life in order to transform her future. Through tactical advice on how to approach work in a smart and healthy manner, which includes knowing when to sign off for the day, doubling down on our capacity to learn, fixing those finances, and beating impostor syndrome once and for all, Ruettimann lays out the framework necessary to champion your interests and create a life you actually enjoy. -- adapted from jacket
