This month, I’m excited to spotlight some incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, along with their inspiring books that have left a lasting impression on me. As a self-proclaimed bookworm, I find immense joy in diving into a good book, and I believe that every author has a unique journey worth celebrating. So, it’s only fitting that I share these stories with you.

One book that truly stands out is Only One: How to Be a Bad Ass Boss in Corporate America by Monica M. Brown. This book is more than just a guide—it’s a powerful manifesto for anyone looking to navigate the often tricky waters of corporate America. Monica’s insights are both inspiring and practical, offering real-world advice on how to excel in your career while staying true to yourself. She dives deep into the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, providing strategies for building connections, mastering your craft, and ultimately, standing out as a leader.
What I love most about Monica’s book is its authenticity. She doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of corporate life but instead offers empowering tools to overcome obstacles and rise to the top. Her voice is both confident and relatable, making you feel like you’re getting advice from a trusted mentor who has been through it all and come out stronger on the other side.

In addition to reading her book, I had the privilege of interviewing Monica for an article that delves even deeper into her experiences and what inspired her to write Only One. During our conversation, she shared some fascinating stories about her journey, the hurdles she’s faced, and how she’s turned those challenges into opportunities. The article is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a fresh perspective on what it means to be a true boss in today’s world.
Monica’s book isn’t just for those in corporate roles—it’s for anyone who wants to elevate their career, build meaningful connections, and approach life with a badass attitude. Whether you’re just starting out in your career or are a seasoned professional, her insights will resonate and inspire you to push forward with confidence.

So, if you’re looking for a dose of motivation and practical advice, I highly recommend picking up Only One and diving into Monica’s world. And don’t forget to check out the article where we explore more of her journey and the wisdom she has to offer. It’s a story of resilience, empowerment, and the pursuit of excellence—one that I’m sure will leave you as inspired as I was.
