“If you want to live up to your full potential, plot your best career, and positively impact every scene in your work story, read this book right now.” —Romy Newman, President & Co-founder, Fairygodboss
When media maven Deborah Burns wrote her award-winning memoir, Saturday’s Child, life took a very unexpected turn. Suddenly, that creative journey revealed something original and exciting about the world of work.
Despite having been a chief innovation officer; despite leading brands like ELLE Décor and Met Home; despite working with teams and consulting with many different companies, there were five lessons about leadership and success that she never knew until writing that book. Her immersion into a new storytelling world full of literary wisdom, tools, and techniques revealed truths hidden from the 98% of us who are not authors.
The good news is that you don’t need to be a writer—you just need to think like one. The better news is that when you understand the process and make thinking like a writer your mindset, you can move your work story forward in the way that you want. Applying the thought-process of a writer will spark new ideas and approaches, improve your questioning and creative problem-solving, and empower you to take the reins of the career you’d like to live.
