Sara Canaday
Learn the secrets of accelerating your journey toward success by better understanding yourself and how others perceive you. In You — According to Them: Uncovering the blind spots that impact your reputation and your career, Sara offers practical steps to help you leverage the perceptions of a great reputation into bottom-line success.
If you’ve ever worked in an organization of any size, you’ve probably seen it: the talented geniuses with all the right credentials who don’t really seem to be going anywhere in their chosen careers. Sometimes that “talented genius” is us, and we are hard-pressed to understand what’s blocking our ability to advance.
In her powerful book, You — According to Them, Sara Canaday draws on her years of corporate experience and research to not only explain WHY smart people can end up with stalled careers, but also HOW they can fix the problems (or avoid them in the future). The timing for this insight couldn’t be better, given today’s increasingly competitive work environment.
