AMAZON #1 BEST SELLER — BUSINESS DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

"An amazingly practical, no-nonsense guide for navigating corporate careers. These lessons apply to everyone — not just women and underrepresented minorities."

— PROFESSOR JEFFREY PFEFFER, STANFORD MBA LEADERSHIP PROFESSOR & AUTHOR OF "POWER"

What Blacks, Asians and Latinos Must Know to Win at Work
Plus winning advice for white males, white women, and LGBTQ+

Most people who make it to the top got there by accident — not by design. They stumbled into the right moves at the right time. This book is built on something different: Strategic Intentionality and the ability to craft the moments that actually move careers forward.

Chris will challenge what you've been told — directly. The accepted advice about sponsorship, visibility, and hard work is often wrong or incomplete. This book says so out loud and gives you what works instead.
