“Anyone can make you feel like you can do it all or be it all. But Nancy offers you what you actually need: actionable, practical steps to make you and your work better. Not through hustle and hierarchy, but through humility and humanity. Nancy is a boss, but her book gives readers what most bosses haven’t yet learned to give, and what every person with a job desperately needs.” —Nora McInerny, author of No Happy Endings and podcast host of Terrible, Thanks for Asking

“Nancy Lyons is honest and entertaining while giving you a kick in the pants. This is an easy and optimistic read for all who are returning to a changed work world. Read it, and read it again." —Julie Allinson, founder of eyebobs

“Nancy Lyons doesn’t screw around. She will—figuratively, of course—grab you by the scruff of your neck, hold you up in front of a mirror, and force you to take a good, long look at your professional self. And then she’ll tell you how to be better. How to be better as a boss, as a colleague, as a contributor, and generally as a person people want to be within the workplace. It’s not necessarily going to be easy or pleasant—hard change never is. But if you can take it, Nancy Lyons is here to help.” —Kai Ryssdal, host of American Public Media’s Marketplace

“This book touches on so many tough but important topics at work: fear, empathy, accountability, and more. It’s like a manual to building your best work self.” —Casey Bloys, president of programming at HBO
