Description
"AS I SEE IT" is a blatantly honest account of business today written from the perspective of a 50-year old, Black, gay, male Executive Assistant who supported some of the nation's top executives in Finance, Tech, Retail and Aerospace challenging business and societal norms to become one of the most respected administrative professionals in the field. During his 27 years in the C-suite, Phoenix Normand witnessed the rise and fall of Dot Com 1.0, survived two (near) heart attacks, even designed the pitch book for the investment bank that eventually took Amazon.com public. There are abuses and triumphs. Truths and mistruths debunked. Bankruptcies, broken vows, hundreds of thousands made and lost, and dreams shattered and rebuilt. This is no rah rah account of privilege. This is truth, spoken by a fearless, outspoken, inimitable ex-C-suite Executive Assistant in his own words.It's not a pretty book. But it is honest. And a story everyone in business should read and have open conversations about in an effort to finally solve many of the inequities, misperceptions, and issues that have plagued big business for decades.
