Book Description

Are you looking for more clarity in your work life, a serene way forward in your career while fulfilling your potential? The way to mastering corporate life is a journey. It is like learning to ride a wave. You fall into the water over and over in the beginning, then occasionally you manage to stand on the board for a certain time. With more practice, but also good coaches and knowledge about how to best do it, keeping your balance becomes easier and easier. By staying motivated and keeping at it, you will be riding the waves—with grace, ease, and joy. Attaining corporate life mastery is no different. Dr. Kathrin Anne Meier, who has held senior positions in top-tier companies for more than 20 years, will teach you everything you need to know to become more self-assured and self-confident in your corporate environment. Backed by first-hand experience, she shows us how to set our minds to something and make that something happen. Dr. Meier’s advice will set us on the road to having an extraordinary career that is fully in line with what we want and who we are—again, with grace, ease, and joy. Dr. Meier’s points include being conscious of your thoughts and freeing yourself from limiting beliefs and false judgements; being passionate about your values; and radiating those values. She recommends not to endlessly wait for inspiration or invitations from others before you act on behalf of your own career, but rather find out what you want, who you are, and what gives you meaning. And from there, make your goals with a good action plan that you review regularly. She also recommends helping others develop and generally seeking the good in people. She encourages you to be your best friend and supporter and—when it is unclear where to go—follow joy and excitement! Mastering Corporate Life provides life-changing lessons for anyone who is seeking to enhance the way they work and live. ​After doing business globally in over 30 countries, Dr. Meier regularly shares her broad knowledge and experience in risk management, leadership, and employee development at conferences and as a trainer with her own firm, Corporate Life Mastery. She holds a master's degree in mathematics and a PhD in computer science, both from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and an MBA in financial services from the University of St. Gallen, also in Switzerland. Being genuinely interested in people, she knows and understands the worries and needs of employees working in a corporation, as well as the importance of finding happiness, fun, and joy in corporate work.
