192: Former Google Executive Jenny Wood | Shamelessly Go After What You Want

Jenny Wood is a former Google executive who ran a large operations team that helped drive billions of advertising revenue a year. And she also created one of the largest career development programs in Google's history. Jenny is also the author of the book, Wild Courage.

In this episode we discuss the following:

• I love Jenny’s advice to be shameless: have the courage to stand behind our efforts and abilities. And go after what we want.
• What a great example of shamelessness when Jenny chased her husband-to-be off the subway to give him her business card.
• In the workplace, it’s hard to be noticed if we don’t stand out. But many of us default to not self-promoting enough. Yet as a manager at Google, Jenny loved getting a shameless Monday morning email from a small number of her direct reports who told her what they had accomplished and what they were going to do next.
