Are YOU a Workplace Renegade?

Hey there! It's J.T. O'Donnell, the founder and CEO of Work It DAILY.

Last year, I published a 60-page manifesto for today's worker. After working with thousands of people during the pandemic, I saw a HUGE shift in how people wanted to approach work in their lives.Today, people are more purpose-driven professionals. They want to "work to live" not "live to work." And I think that's great. BUT, and this is a big BUT, most people will never achieve the career satisfaction they crave until they under stand the new rules to career management.

In my book, "Workplace Renegade" you'll learn the 7 new rules you need to follow to become a more empowered worker so you can get what you want AND deserve.

It's a fast read designed to give you the motivation you need. I hope you'll check it out! 

P.S. - be sure to message me on LinkedIn and let me know which part of the book you connected with most.
