ABOUT THE
BOOK
Hitting Your Stride advocates learning how to use your uniqueness at
work - the best of who you are - to be rewarded with interesting work, personal
growth, and financial gains. Nan shares her 10 "Winning at Working" Lessons -
common sense, but uncommon practices, ways to help you reengage your talent,
create your own luck, differentiate your work performance, and make a difference
at work. Nan's stop-wishing, start-creating approach offers savvy insights to
help you get ahead, enjoy working, and achieve financial rewards. Her motto:
"Opportunity is anywhere and everywhere. While wishing and hoping makes you a
dreamer, acting and doing makes you someone who can create your own luck and
turn your dreams into reality." Using a story-telling approach, mixed with
commentary, analysis, and reflective exercises, Nan identifies mistakes,
struggles, disappointments, failures, and successes in the workplace. Hitting
Your Stride is an inspiring business-and-life book, with an individualized
approach to bringing the best of who you are to work from someone who has been
an employee, a manager, and a senior executive. It reinforces the message that
whether or not you climb the corporate ladder, winning at working is individual.
Hitting Your Stride will help you find your way there, along your own
path and with your own style.
