Building True Confidence with Heather Monahan

Heather Monahan pulled herself out of poverty and food stamps to become of the few women to crack the C-Suite in corporate America. Then her world turned upside down when she was fired by her boss's daughter on a personal vendetta. 

She's since become a bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and role model to professionals looking to step into their confidence.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Heather teaches us where confidence comes from and answers my burning question, "Is it possible to have too much confidence?"

She drops killer advice for young professionals on how to build a sustainable career in an unpredictable world.

And she tells us an exclusive story she's never told before about two recent encounters and how they got her thinking about taking control of one's life and career.
