YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!: Personal Brand, Public Speaking, Thought Leadership for Career Professionals and Founders

Can you be likable and successful? Is it important for you to be liked? "Women are stuck in an impossible bind. At work, strong women are criticized for being cold, and warm women are seen as pushovers." Today on the podcast, we talk about The Likeability Trap: How to Break Free and Succeed as You Are by MSNBC journalist (and past YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! guest), Alicia Menendez.
