Master the rules,
know thy players,
win the game.
For those done being a hostage at work.
Get the extract of The Corporate Playground, and finally see the board you've been playing on. Make winning at work child's play.
It's the opening of the book, decoding 20 years inside the rooms where careers are actually decided, from someone who made 4,000 placements watching the game from both sides of the table.
What you'll get in the extract:
#1: The Board
You'll see the real power structure, the one the org chart never shows. The unwritten rules, the actual currencies, and why the performance review criteria were never the whole game.
#2: The Wound, Named
You'll find precise language for what happened to you. "Too direct." "Too ambitious." "A lot to manage." The extract names the wound honestly: some of it was them, some of it wasn't. Both truths, on the page.
#3: First In Line
Leave with your place secured: the first 100 who sign up for the extract get the full book on launch day, before it's available anywhere else. The extract names the wound. The book delivers the how-to.
What people who work with Nina are saying:
Rated 5/5 on Google Reviews
"Her unique, interesting yet structured approach of mapping, questions from a place of empathy and corporate sharpness was a good sweet spot. I benefited a lot from my first session."
Yana M. · L&D Leader"With her guidance, and the confidence she helped me rebuild, I went back to HR and negotiated the terms they'd laid out. I ended up securing two additional months of payout and an extension on my work visa."
Nicole P. · General Manager"Nina wonderfully combines kindness with firm honesty. She cuts straight to the core, and makes you cut further. She also erases any speck of self-doubt that might be lingering in the air. It's incredible."
Cheryl L. · Head of Marketing Communications"Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Breaking free from being hostage to situations at work, and at home. It applies to everything."
J. Loh · Project ManagerThese are messages from Nina's clients, shared with permission, about working with her directly. Individual experiences vary with background, circumstances, and effort. The book extract is new; its readers haven't reviewed it yet, and this page won't pretend otherwise.

What actually is this?
What is the extract?
It's not a summary and it's not a teaser. It's the opening of The Corporate Playground: power dynamics, unwritten rules, and how to play the game without losing who you are. Twenty years inside the playground, decoded.
Expect zero motivational speeches here. This PDF extract names the wound. The how-to lives in the full book.
What do I walk away with?
Three things. Language for what actually happened to you at work. A first look at the board underneath the org chart. And your place in line: the first 100 signups get the full book free on launch day.
Is this for me?
If you have done everything the official playbook told you to do and quietly started to suspect the playbook was incomplete, yes.
If you want permission to be bitter, no. Understanding the system is not the same as resenting it. If you believe the org chart is the real power structure, this will be a difficult read. If you want someone to validate that it was all someone else's fault: some of it was, some of it wasn't, and this book is honest about both.
How much is it?
Free. The extract names the wound; the book earns the right to sell you the solution. That's the deal, stated plainly.
If you're looking for a book that tells you hard work always wins, don't download it. It doesn't, always, and this book will not pretend otherwise. If you've suspected the game for years, chances are this will read like relief.
Stop negotiating your boundaries.
