The Unapologetic Professional
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-394-32944-1 (ISBN)
The world tells you to pick one path, follow the rules, and shrink yourself to succeed. The Unapologetic Professional: How to Lead, Create, and Succeed without Shrinking Yourself to Fit the Mold is your permission slip to do the opposite, and thrive.
Veteran marketer and entrepreneur, Brianna Doe, delivers the tools, tactics, and real talk you actually need to build a resilient, fulfilling career on your own terms. This book is a how-to guide for designing a path that reflects your values, your voice, and your vision for what work should be.
If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me, or is this whole system broken?” You’re not imagining it. But there’s another way.
Through strategic insights, personal stories, and actionable frameworks, Doe will show you how to:
Build a flexible, future-proof career without burning out or selling out
Navigate pivots, plot twists, and nonlinear paths with clarity and confidence
Overcome imposter syndrome, systemic bias, and career uncertainty—and reclaim your voice
Identify the work only you can do, and let go of what’s holding you back
Redefine success on your terms (not your manager’s, your job title’s, or social media’s)
Whether you’re a first-gen professional, creative multi-hyphenate, or an entrepreneur figuring it out as you go, this is more than a career guide. It’s a blueprint for building something meaningful and sustainable, without waiting for anyone’s permission.
The Unapologetic Professional is your toolkit for leading, creating, and succeeding in the modern working world—and doing it without losing yourself in the process.
BRIANNA DOE is an award-winning marketer, entrepreneur, and speaker redefining the future of work and leadership. A first-generation American who built her career challenging outdated definitions of “professionalism,” she’s committed to changing how we shape—and who gets to define—work, leadership, and success. She has been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, Marketing Brew, and CNBC.
