About this audiobook
It’s time we start looking at career success differently.
Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry.
But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?
With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.
You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater.
If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!
