What You Didn’t Learn in School
Lessons on Growth, Change, and Living Your Best Life
Entrepreneur and career coach Lorraine Rise introduces readers to her signature combination of practical tips, actionable advice, and straight talk in her debut, What You Didn't Learn in School. Filling in the gaps where our schools leave off, she condenses years of experience into no-nonsense tidbits and strategies that we fail to learn in the classroom. More than just street smarts, Lorraine thoughtfully instructs us on how to find fulfillment in our lives and within ourselves. Culling anecdotes and lessons learned—sometimes the hard way!—from a life spent empowering people, this book offers us all a chance to uncover what gives us meaning.
