Her Play

Her Play: Make Your Own Luck is a raw business memoir and career journey that explores the grit required to build a professional life without a map.

This volume 1 entry in the Business & Economics category focuses on the years of pressure and uncertainty that precede public success.

Pelc reflects on the internal mechanics of confidence and the audacity needed to navigate high-pressure environments. This leadership memoir provides a reflective look at how professional milestones are forged through bold choices and engineered serendipity.
