About this listen
With only 5.8 percent of CEO positions in the S&P 500 held by women, it's clear that there are more women who deserve a seat at the table than actually have one. In No Explanation Required!, Carol Sankar gives you the strategies you need to create the success you deserve - today.
Loaded with real-life examples and backed by proprietary research, No Explanation Required! coaches you on how to speak up for yourself, stop debating your decisions, and eliminate "limiting" language. In example after example, it becomes clear how these too-frequent expressions ("I'm sorry", "Excuse me", "I'll get back to you") can strip you of your authority and credibility.
Instead, you'll discover positive, practical ways to assert your confidence and master communication at work, with chapters that include "The Self Promotion Gap", "Perception and Performance", "What's Like Got to Do with It?", and "The 8-Minute Rule" - how to create eight-minute micro conversations and connections. Every chapter offers key takeaways you'll want to put into effect immediately - and keep in mind always. With the tactics in No Explanation Required! mastered, you'll be better equipped to stop explaining and start negotiating - for gender parity, better compensation, opportunities, and so much more.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed - preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work - but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.

Thank you for this Book! I Highly Recommend it!
I stumbled upon this book at just the right time in my Life and Career!!
I needed an extra boost of confidence to put myself out there more and position myself for additional opportunities in my career. Not only was I Blessed with a promotion, but I’ve become more aware of choosing what I share, how I say it and truly believing that “No Explanation is a required.”
