Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
I'm thrilled to welcome Jenny Wood to the show this week. She had an 18-year career at Google, where she grew from entry-level to executive, and she most recently led a large operations team that helped drive tens of billions of dollars in revenue per year. In 2021, she started a passion project within Google called Own Your Career, which grew to one of the largest career development programs in Google's history. Through the programs she founded, she has trained tens of thousands of people on acing a job search, building relationships, personal branding, effective email writing, increasing confidence, and so much more. She also has a new book out called Wild Courage, which has just hit the New York Times list.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone looking to grow their personal brand, boost confidence, and take bold steps in their career.
TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…many people feel stuck in their careers not because they lack talent, but because they hesitate to speak up, stand out, or take action. Jenny shares a roadmap for building confidence and personal brand by overcoming fear and embracing thoughtful risk.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Confidence is built through action, not perfection.
Sharing your ideas can boost both your career and your company.
Rewrite limiting beliefs by separating truths from tales.
WHAT I LOVE MOST…Jenny's reminder that the courage to try, even when you're not ready, is what separates dreamers from doers.
