🎉 Today My Book Is Out Into the World! 🎉
I have so many mixed feelings—excited, apprehensive, anticipatory—and so many people to thank. It truly took a village to bring this dream to life. I’ve imagined this moment countless times, and now it’s finally here!
Here are some picture of my book tour in LA with some dear friends. Looking forward to a book tour in London next and celebrating with some of you at the book launch later on!
Here’s a sneak peek from “The Audacity Spectrum”:
“Before I settled on the concept of audacity, I was excited by the idea of all things ‘extra’. Extra-ordinary. Extra-caring. Extra-daring. Extra-courageous. That extra something is what makes the ordinary extraordinary and transforms ‘impossible’ into ‘why not?’
High achievers and high performers all seem to have that extra something: a drive that keeps them looking forward, scoping out the next challenge. The naturalist Jane Goodall – who, without any of the conventional qualifications, became one of the best-known names in conservation – is a case in point. Observing what sets the most successful of chimpanzees apart, she describes a relentless tenacity; the most resilient chimpanzees are the ones who get up and try again after an attack. Goodall says she’s the same herself: ‘Like one of those dolls with weighted bottoms – you hit them over and they bounce up. I’m obstinate and I’m not going to give up.’
The most successful leaders are also tenacious in themselves. They don’t try to fit in or diminish the unique qualities that make them stick out. They hold on to their ‘extra’ aspects with tenacity, whatever life’s knocks, just as they don’t give up on their aims.
We all have the potential to develop such a sense of conviction and confidence that we pick ourselves up again and again, with the same relentless tenacity of the chimpanzees. And we all have the potential to turn this combination of tenacity and individuality into enduring success and sustained happiness. To live and lead audaciously.”
In my book, I delve into the 8As of Audacious Leadership. Yes, good leadership requires authenticity, assertiveness, adaptability, and more. But above all, it requires courage.
I titled it “The Audacity Spectrum” because we all possess a bit of it. We all qualify. We all fit in. There’s something for everyone under the three pillars of care, courage, and non-conformity.
This book offers a practical framework for anyone ready to embrace a more audacious approach to both work and life. It reconnects you with the parts of yourself that are a little bit ‘extra’: the aspects that give you your edge, your drive, and your tenacity.
💖 From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supported this journey. Now, it’s your turn to be part of this audacious movement!
