Critics Review

“Pam has accomplished what I didn’t think possible: a book that feels like she’s in the room with you, offering the leadership insights and care she’s known for. For leaders who want to better understand themselves—and their results—this is a must read.” —Mary Barra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of General Motors
“The insights in this book not only changed me profoundly, but they transformed our leadership team as well. Pam’s work undoubtedly prepared us to weather the most intense philanthropy crisis our organization ever faced. Every leader will benefit enormously from this book.”—Curtis R. Welling, Senior Fellow and Lecturer, Social Entrepreneurship + Innovation Initiative at Dartmouth College, Former President and CEO of Americares
“We often think about what we’d tell our younger selves, but this book pushes you to connect your earliest experiences to how you show up as a leader. It’s not a typical leadership playbook, and that’s exactly why it works.”—Mel Raines, President and CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment
“Pam’s coaching profoundly transformed the way I lead. She helped me unlock a more authentic, grounded, and powerful version of myself while strengthening the connection and performance of our entire team. Her work changed not only how I showed up as a leader, but how our organization showed up together. In this book, Pam shares the insights and practices that help leaders reach peak performance without losing themselves in the process. For any leader committed to growth, self-discovery, and elevating those around them, this is an essential read.” —John Replogle, Partner at One Better Ventures, LLC, Former CEO of Burt’s Bees and Seventh Generation
