What if the traits you’ve been taught to suppress your entire career are actually the very qualities that separate those who get what they want from those who stay stuck waiting for recognition that never comes?Today on the show, Jenny Wood argues that most of us are living in what she calls “an invisible cage” created by an overabundance of caution, and that the biggest lie you’ve been told in your career is to keep your head down and let your work speak for itself.Jenny is a former Google executive who developed a career development program used by 56,000 people in nearly 100 countries, and she’s the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/4e9RJ7y">Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It</a>. In our conversation, Jenny explains how traits that have a negative rap can be used for positive ends that will advance your career. We discuss how being shameless, reckless, nosy, manipulative, obsessed, and more can help you overcome your success-hindering fears, take bolder action, and achieve your goals.<h2>Connect With Jenny Wood</h2><ul><li><a href="https://itsjennywood.com/" target="_blank">Jenny’s website</a></li></ul><img src="https://content.artofmanliness.com/uploads/2025/06/811QDn4GW-L._SY522_.jpg" alt="Book cover for "Wild Courage" by Jenny Wood, featuring bold black text over a yellow paint splatter background, with the subtitle "Go After What You Want and Get It," inspiring career advancement through bold virtues." width="325" />
