About this listen

Read by the author, Jenny Wood.

You know where you want to go. You know you have it within you. You just need the courage to do it.


As a former Google executive and top career coach who chased an attractive stranger off the train and later married him, Jenny Wood knows her way around courage. In this book, Wood shatters conventional wisdom about achieving your goals. She gives you permission to ditch your fear and chase after what you want, unapologetically.

Wood reclaims nine traits from their negative shackles and teaches you how to apply them in a savvy and compassionate way to supercharge your success, whether you’re trying to snag a promotion, launch a company or land a life-changing deal.

Wild Courage will teach you how to be:

  • Weird: Win as you or lose as ‘who?’.
  • Selfish: Be your own champion.
  • Shameless: Beat impostor syndrome and self-promote with ease.
  • Obsessed: Push, persist and perform at your highest level.
  • Nosy: Get curious to network confidently and learn from others.
  • Manipulative: Build influence with empathy and manage up like a pro.
  • Brutal: Draw lines and stick to them. Embrace the power of no.
  • Reckless: Err on the side of action and take healthy risks.
  • Bossy: Steer others to success, even if you’re not in charge yet.


Wild Courage coaches you to smash through your fear of discomfort, failure and the judgement of others, to embrace your boldest self in pursuit of what you want.
