THE MYTH OF THE NICE GIRL

A best-selling book for women who want to redefine success on their own terms. The Myth of the Nice Girl proves that you don't have to sacrifice who you are to get ahead. It's time to discard old-fashioned stereotypes, become the boss of your own future, and recognize that being nice and authentic can be a huge asset at work.

EMBRACE THE WORK, LOVE YOUR CAREER

Fran’s second book is an essential career companion, no matter where you are in your journey. Equal parts reflection, exploration, and action plan, this guided workbook will help you become unstuck so that you can thrive in your career and ultimately live the life you want and deserve.


"Fran outlines exactly how to become a successful career woman without having to change who you are."
