"A fresh new approach to taking risks in one's career, with specific advice on how to persevere when one's decisions aren't working out, along with key insights on how to turn mistakes into successes"-- Our careers are a series of choices, but what do you do if one of those choices turns out poorly, especially if it was carefully considered? How do you trust your instinctive decision-making skills and make the next right choice? In her career, Cassidy has encountered plenty of poor choices, misfires, unexpected headwinds, and all other types of pitfalls that she had to learn how to confront, analyze, navigate, and incorporate into her new path forward. She knows that personal success does not come from making one singular "correct" decision. Here she shares seven myths of success, and provides an entirely new way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success. -- adapted from jacket Provided by publisher.
