Necessary Roughness with Mimi Donaldson

Every day, over and over again, in relationships and in the workplace, we make choices. How much risk do we take? To what extent do we play it safe? How do we know when to punt, when to pass, and when to power through? Necessary roughness is expected: we need to talk straight, stand our ground, say no, and negotiate everything.

For more than two decades, renowned speaker and trainer and unabashed football fan Mimi Donaldson has been inspiring success. From business strategy to a better understanding of men and relationships, Mimi Donaldson’s laugh-out-loud football metaphor, Necessary Roughness, covers it all. Necessary Roughness provides tools and strategies to:

• Choose the right game plan
• Communicate it effectively
• Execute your plays
• Control the clock and win the game
