The former global CEO of Chanel shares her journey from literature major to chief executive, encouraging readers to break free from societal labels and discover their unique paths, strengths, and leadership values. We often find ourselves categorized by labels that dictate who we are and should be. To create a life that is authentically ours, we must learn to define ourselves on our own terms. Through her experiences, Maureen Chiquet aims to inspire women, liberal arts graduates, and unconventional thinkers to forge their own ways of living and leading. Her vivid storytelling and thought-provoking insights invite readers to confront the challenges of building a successful, fulfilling life in a complex world. Chiquet questions the need to separate art from business, feelings from logic, and the balance between determination and flexibility. She challenges the notion that vulnerability and femininity are weaknesses. With wisdom and passion, this work is for anyone yearning for a life without limits on identity and potential.
