Want to learn more about the 9 traits that can help you in your life and career? I had the pleasure of discussing this, her book Wild Courage and so much more with Jenny Wood on Episode 92 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

How she overcame her doubts to ask out her husband on the subway,

Showing resilience to land her job at Google,

Her book and the 9 traits that can help you in your life and career,

The Spotlight Effect,

Being weird and standing out from the crowd,

The benefits of being selfish (sometimes) and how this helped a vocalist get her fair share from a smash hit record,

Saying yes to the big projects and cutting back on the NAP (not actually promotable) work,

Learning to say no,

Improving your verbal communication skills,

Identifying and leaning into your strengths/ power assets, and

Building your personal brand.

Jenny spent 18 years at Google climbing the ranks from entry-level to executive, most recently running a large operations team that helps drive billions of advertising revenue a year.

She created one of Google's largest career development programs ever, loved by tens of thousands of employees worldwide. She is now a speaker and the author of a new book Wild Courage: Go After What You Want And Get It.

She earned her B.A. in Economics & International Business at Brandeis and was a research associate at Harvard Business School. She drinks tea and is a trained pilot, living in Boulder, Colorado with her husband and two kids.
