About the Author

Alexandra Watkins is a business book unicorn. Her snappy and sassy writing style and fluff-free content is a refreshing departure from bloated business tomes. As a former advertising copywriter trained to craft copy that make emotional connections, she knows how to keep readers engaged, entertained and enlightened. Sassy quips that demonstrate “what not to do,” include “I was totally grossed out when I saw one of the sponsors of a charity event I was invited to was named ToiletTree.” And, “Who cares that the name Hiranyagarbha means ‘cosmic intelligence’ in ancient Sanskrit?” It’s impossible to read her writing without grinning or giggling every few pages.
