Bonnie Hammer's legendary career spans five decades in a turbulent, male-driven industry. Today, Bonnie is a powerful leader at the very top of her field, and women at all levels constantly ask her: What is your secret to success? Her power--and her staying power--comes from rejecting common myths about how women are "supposed" to act in the workplace. She knows that the traditional wisdom women are told about work--pithy phrases like "don't mix work with play," "talk is cheap," "follow your dreams," "know your worth," "trust your gut," and "you can have it all"--hold women back. Having risen from an entry-level production assistant whose chief charge was a dog, to a transformative, top executive at NBCUniversal, Bonnie challenges conventional workplace wisdom and shares the un-common sense women need to succeed. Bonnie has mentored countless women in every industry. She's known for telling the uncensored and uncompromising truth--even when it isn't easy to hear. Now, she gives you her private master class--replacing the lies women have been fed about work with her unique wisdom. You will learn powerful new truths and easily digestible, practical advice to apply in your own life.
