Even if you are well into your career this book could be a great read, a good refresher or just a fun read. And more than that, if you manage people, it's a great resource to share with your employees so that they can take more control of their own professional growth rather than just relying on you!

Hanan has brought the book we all need to survive the corporate obstacle course. Written in a fun, chatty, accessible way, this book helps break down common issues in the workplace and delivers handy tools and exercises to get you through life as an employee. This is a book that I wish I'd had earlier in my career as I'd tried to navigate rough corporate environments with terrible bosses. I wish everyone could just lead with kindness and compassion at work - maybe if they get this book in their hands, organizations could run more smoothly (and in turn, probably make more money via enhanced retention and productivity!).

A frequent podcast guest (It Gets Late Early, Your Brand at Work, Insights to Live By), she brings a data-driven yet deeply human approach to workplace culture, proving that even small steps toward growth can create a ripple effect—uplifting organizations, careers, and the world.
