About the Book:
Something just isn’t right. The pressure, the politics, and the PowerPoints have left you perplexed, paralyzed, and maybe even panicked…“Is it actually possible to have the career I want and deserve?!” Former corporate CEO turned professional pot-stirrer Erin Hatzikostas is on a hell-bent mission to help you have the big career you deserve, without compromising everything else. You Do You(ish) hurls aside the crusty, decades-old career advice you’ve likely heard for way too long: lean in, executive presence, network, blah, blah, blah. Instead, this book will help you see that there’s a better way to have success and get great results. You succeed, you don’t sell out. The book is whimsical and inspiring, yet also grounded in Erin’s proprietary H.U.M.A.N.S. framework – Six Principles of Strategic Authenticity. So, are you ready to stop settling for “good enough” and start believing you can have the big career you deserve? If so, start defining your own success with You Do You(ish)!
We encourage all employees to participate in and support the ODEIE Book Club. For questions about the book club, please reach out to EB_DEIE@gdeb.com.
Note: The Q3 book club discussion was postponed. Book club members will be notified of the rescheduled date, location and moderator.
