About The Book
Of course, I can do that! A memoir: Negotiating success in the volatile “80’s
Negotiating Success in the volatile ‘80s’ reminisces about a remarkable decade, through the author’s real time letters, written during arguably one of the most turbulent time periods for the American industry. Set during the Pacific Northwest’s typical go big or go home economy, this memoire provides a unique insight into the corporate decision making and upper management of the 80s corporate America. Showcasing a rare insider view of labor strikes, environmental management, and the realities of being a woman in a male-dominated field. What makes this book exceptional is its authenticity. The narrative unfolds through letters written to the author’s mother capturing uncertainty, ambition, humor, fear, and triumph as events happened, not in hindsight. Readers experience the tension of mill shutdowns, supply shortages, and negotiations alongside moments of personal growth, resilience, and discovery. More than a business memoir, the book is a story of adaptability and courage. It explores leadership under pressure, creative problem-solving, and the quiet strength required to navigate systemic barriers. By the end, the journey expands beyond industry into spiritual development and meaning-making offering readers both inspiration and insight.
