But then you were taught to suppress that power, to follow the rules, to wait your turn, to not make waves. Award-winning Yale professor Zoe Chance will show you how to rediscover the superpower that brings great ideas to life.

It’s an ethical approach to influence that will make life better for everyone, starting with you.

"AS I SEE IT" is a blatantly honest account of today's business written from the perspective of a 50-year old, Black, gay, male Executive Assistant who supported some of the top executives in Finance, Tech, Retail and Aerospace and challenged business and societal norms to become one of the most respected professionals in the field. During his 27 years in the C-suite Phoenix Normand witnessed the rise and fall of Dot-Com 1.0, survived two (near) heart attacks, even designed the pitch book for the investment bank that eventually took Amazon.com public. It's not pretty. But it is honest. And a book that everyone in business should read and have open conversations about in an effort to finally solve many of the inequities, misperceptions, and issues that have plagued big business for decades.
