"Amazing, practical, no-nonsense guide to navigating careers." -Jeffrey Pfeffer, author of bestsellers 7 Rules of Power and POWER, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford Graduate School of Business

Tired of inspiration without real-world tactics? Ready for the playbook that gets you promoted, paid your worth, and gives you the insider moves most people learn too late-or never? A playbook that could only be written by someone who actually climbed to the top-from the outside.

Most books and speakers tell you things like "believe in yourself" and "dream bigger". This one tells you exactly what to do Monday morning to maneuver your way to the top-to get your riches and help others along the way. College student, to mid-career, to C-suite-you'll get the essentials that unlock your next level.

As the first Black Partner elected to the US Governing Board of PwC-one of the nation's most prestigious Fortune 500-level firms-and Managing Partner of 3,000 professionals, I didn't observe the game from the sidelines. I won it. And I kept my authentic self while doing it.

This is the field manual from someone who's coached, sponsored, and kept it real with dozens of Asian, Black, Latino, women, and LGBTQ+ executives-like you would with family-to breakthrough success and breakthrough compensation.

In 70+ bite-sized chapters, you'll master:

• The "Respect-Protect-Project" framework that makes any boss advocate for you (and your raises)
• How to "flip" stereotypes and turn bias into strategic advantage
• "Strategic Intentionality"-engineering your pivotal moments way before they happen
• Relationship-building that makes traditional "networking" obsolete
• How to nail the interview when your credentials aren't "perfect" (and whose ever are?)
• How to be the lion in the corporate jungle-commanding respect while doing right by others
• Leadership tactics that position you as the next generation of leadership

What makes this different? No fluff. No 40-page chapters to get one idea. Concrete examples from real moments and strategic, career-defining moves. Every section delivers immediately actionable intelligence you can deploy today-whether you're interviewing, entry-level or executive, job-hunting or managing up, climbing to your first six figures or your first million.

For less than a coffee, you get what others pay me thousands to learn over months of coaching sessions.

The obstacles are real. The challenges exist. But so does the blueprint to navigate them-and get not only wealthy doing it, but living a life of service to others that might get you to heaven.

What nobody told you-until now.
