Never Say Whatever

Life Is Choices. Make Them.

Calling in late to a Zoom meeting  with kids playing in the background. Avoiding optional meetings. Dodging  low-profile assignments. Giving H.R. lunch-and-learns a hard pass.  There are countless ways we've become the apathetic version of our  corporate selves—dismissing what seems unimportant with a big shrug  emoji. Whatever. Who cares?

In Never Say Whatever, veteran  author, radio host, and former college president Dr. Richard Moran  reveals with stunning clarity why you should care: The W-word is a  career killer. In fact, he likens it to the similarly NSFW F-bomb. It  can be a whole sentence, an attitude, an "OK," or nothing at all. It's a  word that comes in handy and can be habit forming, but the consequences  of using it as your fallback response can have drastically negative  results over time.

The numerous daily decisions we make, both at  work and in life, are small chances to make big impact. Understanding  this—and banishing that "meh" attitude—is key to success.

Written  with unflinching honesty, humor, and interviews with corporate decision  makers, Never Say Whatever offers a blueprint to help everyone  understand why and how the choices we make, even the minor ones, are in  fact pivotal to professional development and career trajectory. For  young graduates just starting out to seasoned professionals seeking ways  to reenergize their careers, it's a timely call to get on track, and  stay on track, with boosted productivity, an impressive personal brand,  and a fortified gameplan for a supercharged career.
