Pack an Extra Pair of Underpants is part self-help book, part memoir, a motivational story about overcoming adversity - both in life and in business. It's about taking ownership of your choices and developing your own leadership style. From humble beginnings on the east side of Detroit to a successful business woman, Pallas has led a remarkable journey overcoming a dysfunctional family, a dead-end marriage, and rampant sexism of a bygone era. The author chronicles a career of carving paths and blazing trails. Of taking charge and taking names. Then, in the face of a life threatening illness, she finds the courage she so desperately needs to embrace her role in business - and in life - as a trailblazer. A companion book to this memoir is The 7 Acts of Leadership Workbook . It is a practical self-development guide that will help you define a successful digital-age leadership style.
