Book Cover & Preview Text
Preface Two guys walk into a bar. One guy says to the other, “Boy, you know after fifteen years at my job, I actually got laid off today.” The second guy answers, “Oh, that’s too bad! What are you going to do now?” The first guy then replies, “I don’t know, I’m not sure what I'm qualified to do anymore.” Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some really talented individuals. From my days working for an iconic entertainment organization, to Fortune® companies, then an international pharmaceutical firm, on to one of the hottest startup Dotcoms of our generation, and many others. I have been truly blessed and lucky to have worked with so many talented individuals. I miss working with many of them and I often think about everything that I learned just by being around them. That being said, I have often struggled with one question since the very beginning of my career: Why are so many corporate professionals stuck in the same job for so many years, and why are they heartbroken when their organization wants to “breakup” with them? Could it be that they simply don’t know what others have already figured out? Whenever I asked this question, I heard many different answers. Most of them were neatly packaged and rationalized. And yet, I wonder if those types of responses will help the working professionals of tomorrow who are leaning into a corporate structure that is similar to mine. Furthermore, I am finding that there are certain individuals who are already aware of the shift that is taking place in the corporate world. They are following a specific path and applying specific principles to alter their future. Their path is dynamic, and it rewards them each step of the way. They are, what I have come to know them as, Corporate Bold. Corporate Bold is not about the next up-and-coming industry or job trend. It is not intended to be a guide about how to ask your boss for a raise. And it is certainly not meant to serve as the only roadmap on which you should rely when navigating your particular field or organization. Corporate Bold is a completely different way of looking at your corporate position; as opposed to viewing it in a more traditional sense. For those who may not be able to deal with the concepts that we are about to discuss, it is likely to cause them anger or discomfort. Yet, for those who are willing to challenge what they know, it may very well change their lives in a significantly positive way, as it has undoubtedly changed mine.
