In Corporate Rebel, Sadika Fakir delivers a fearless, funny, no-BS guide to surviving – and thriving – inside systems that profit from women’s ambition while quietly diminishing it.

From unpaid gigs and free consulting to boardrooms, breakdowns, bad bosses and even worse job offers – and finally rising to senior leadership – Sadika tells it like it actually is. She has lived the contradictions of corporate life and is done pretending that hard work alone is enough. No corporate jargon. No girl-boss clichés. Just hard-won lessons, sharp humour and radical honesty about what it really takes to be a woman at work.

This isn’t a glossy “lean in” manifesto or a confidence pep talk. It’s real strategy: how power actually works, why ego derails careers, when working for free is a trap, and how to stop playing small without burning everything down.

Because sometimes being a corporate rebel means knowing when to break the rules, when to rewrite them, and when to laugh at how ridiculous they were in the first place.

Funny, fierce, deeply human and refreshingly unpolished, Corporate Rebel is for every woman who’s ever felt invisible in the room – and decided she wasn’t going to stay that way.

This is not a career manual. It’s a rebellion.
