Carla A. Harris is a Wall Street superstar.
She executed the IPOs for UPS, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and Redback, as well as the $3.2 billion common stock transaction for Immunex, one of the largest biotechnology IPO offerings in United States history. But twenty years ago, Carla Harris was like many novices: fresh out of business school, brimming with smarts and a willingness to work hard. She quickly learned that in today’s competitive environment, knowledge and diligence simply aren’t enough.

Carla sought career advice from her mentors and superiors but often found the counsel too general. So as her career advanced, she built her own “key survival tools,” which she calls “pearls,” and vowed that when she reached senior management, and people came to her for advice, she would provide them with specific, play-by-play answers about what they needed to do to fulfill their true potential.

The pearls have gained popularity over the past several years, featured as they are in many of Carla’s keynote speeches and television appearances. Now, in Expect to Win, Carla shares her pearls, including:

·         Authenticity: The Power Is You
·         The 90-Day Rule
·         Perception is the Copilot to Reality
·         The Mentor, the Sponsor, the Adviser: Having Them All
·         Leverage Your Voice
·         Balance Is a Necessity: Use Your Passions to Achieve It
·         Expect to Win: Show Up with Your Best Self Every Day

Expect to Win is a must-read for anyone seeking battle-tested tools to triumph over common challenges and successfully move forward in their careers, reach their goals, and expect to win.
