Have you ever felt that being weird was something to be ashamed of? Just wait till you hear what Jenny Wood has to say about that. Jenny is a former Google executive and newly-minted New York Times bestselling author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It. As someone who’s spent years helping corporate leaders and entrepreneurs alike, Jenny brought a treasure trove of advice on everything from silencing your inner critic to reframing those so-called “negative” traits we often hide, think “shameless,” “weird,” and “reckless”, into your actual superpowers at work and in business. Her candor and humor made the conversation electric, and I was inspired (yet again!) by her bold “move, then map” approach to chasing what scares you and owning your wildest aspirations.

If you’re betting on yourself, whether you’re growing your own business or navigating the corporate ladder, you’ll find a ton to relate to in Jenny’s journey. We discussed breaking out of the perfection trap, advocating shamelessly for yourself, and getting nosy, in the best way, to build real connections and open up new opportunities. Jenny’s story reminds us that it’s not about waiting your turn or muting your personality to “fit in,” but rather about leaning into who you really are, and turning fear from an obstacle into rocket fuel. I walked away from this chat fired up and ready to keep encouraging everyone tuning in: Your wins are on the other side of speaking up, sharing your story, and being unapologetically you.
