Author Information

Courtney Johnson has attracted over half a million followers across her platforms by sharing the no-holds-barred secrets to career success that the career nepo-babies want to keep locked behind closed doors. She formerly climbed the corporate ranks to mid-six-figures salaries at multiple companies (and she's only 29), before launching her own brand-building and career-growth consulting business. She frequently ghost-writes LinkedIn posts and internal missives for CEOs, giving her unparalleled access to the minds and mindsets of the person whose attention you'd want to try to snag. And most importantly, she's created a career out of the fundamental understanding that a corporate game is always being played.
