Although some people make it look easy, the reality is that the path to success is often convoluted and messy. It's tempting to believe that the professionals surrounding us somehow have their act completely together while we lurch fitfully onward, but the real story is often much more complicated and chaotic. This refreshingly honest book provides welcome reassurance for every businesswoman who's ever wondered, "Is it me, or has the whole rest of the company gone nuts?!" Each chapter is a fascinating description of one woman's unlikely journey, and every story is teeming with personal insights and practical tips to encourage you along the way toward your own goals and dreams.
The human side of each achiever comes alive as she shares her challenges, choices and achievements in a "just between us" tone that educates as it entertains.

Kimberly Wiefling, Executive Editor of the Scrappy About Series, is a proven expert in enabling people to achieve what seems impossible, but is merely difficult. She is the author of one of the top project management books in the US, "Scrappy Project Management: The 12 Predictable and Avoidable Pitfalls Every Project Faces," a book growing in popularity around the world, and recently published in Japanese by Nikkei Business Press. She founded Wiefling Consulting, LLC, a global leadership and business management consulting firm, in 2001. She currently spends about half of her time working with high-potential leaders in Japanese companies as the Executive Director for ALC Education’s Global Management Consulting Group, an organization based in Tokyo, Japan. Her work includes facilitating leadership, communication, teamwork, innovation and execution excellence workshops to enable Japanese companies to solve global problems profitably. A physicist by education, Kimberly began her professional career with 10 years at HP in product development, project management and engineering leadership. She spent five years in the wild and wacky world of Silicon Valley startups, including a Xerox Parc spinoff where she was the VP of Program Management. In 2001, she rose from the ashes of the dot-com bust, launched her consulting practice, and never looked back. In typical Silicon Valley style, Kimberly has helped to start, run and grow about a dozen small businesses. Several of the startups that she co-founded are still in business and profitable.
