Good leadership requires authenticity, assertiveness and adaptability. It takes courage. Yet many of us are stuck playing it safe and striving to fit in.
Dispelling the myth that caring is a weakness, Alina Addison shows how the things we care about most can fuel our most courageous acts. Combining deep research with her own expertise - as a pioneering corporate leader, Emotional Intelligence coach, and mother to a son on the autism spectrum - Addison presents the eight life-changing principles behind audacious leadership.
These practical, proven methods will help you identify the things that set you apart, inspire others and dare to create the life and career you truly want.

There are many self help books out there and this one steps out from crowd because it’s evidence-based and from lived experience as a parent.
The activities are well worth completing at the end of each chapter as it has helped my own gratitude practice. I’m also grateful to have more focus on which A has the best chance of positive change.
I would recommend this book for those who want to employee a coach but currently cannot afford to. Similarly, I think this book is helpful for those who’ve done self reflection work but find the ‘popular’ trends annoyingly repetitive in coaching.

A great guide to help you carefully curate how to care less and achieve more – especially when others thing you are “too much” or “not enough”. I especially appreciate Alina Addison’s willingness to vulnerably and skillfully share her personal and professional journey in service of our learning.
