Ann Hiatt was the right hand to some of tech's most prominent names throughout her career, including Jeff Bezos, Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, and Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Having left Silicon Valley, Ann shares the secrets behind the curtain to help others advance in their careers and adopt the same forward-thinking that drove these leaders to success. She consults clients worldwide and hosts leadership training events for companies like Starbucks, Prudential, Siemens, AWS, and more. I learned so much during my conversation with her, including advice for saying "no", networking, tips for finding work/life balance, why we should treat our personal lives like our organized, professional ones, and so much more. In her recent book, Bet On Yourself, she shares her advice on how people can take charge of their careers and create a life full of learning, adventure, joy, and success.         This episode is brought to you by Macy's, Just Thrive, Nuuly, and Clare.   For all the summer inspo you need right now, visit macys.com/ownyourstyle.
