Navigate Workplace Politics While Staying Authentically You
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Stop apologizing for being brilliant. Start weaponizing your weirdness.
You're the one with creative solutions that work. The person who asks questions that everyone else is thinking. The professional who brings a fresh perspective to stale conversations. So why do you feel like you're constantly swimming upstream in a sea of beige conformity?
The Professional Weirdos Survival Kit is your tactical playbook for thriving authentically in workplaces that weren't built for people like us.
Brand strategist and former corporate refugee Robyn Sayles knows what it's like to be "too much" in professional settings. After twenty years of watching brilliant people shrink to make others comfortable, she's compiled the exact strategies, scripts, and responses that turn your unconventional brilliance from professional liability to strategic advantage.
