How is your book helping others?
In an unsettled and relentless world, leaders and their teams are struggling. Just 33% of workers are “thriving,” 21% feel engaged, and 40% report daily stress, with one in two employees seeking a new job. This fractured workplace reality has consequences for wellbeing, productivity, and organisational health.
Anchored, by HR Executive Rochelle Trow, offers a practical path back to inner strength for leaders who project success yet carry an invisible burden. Drawing on firsthand experience of burnout and pressure, Trow provides usable, honest guidance on how to lead without losing themselves.
Structured into five parts, it explores how systems shape behaviours, how to recognise hidden patterns, why fear is essential for growth, and how to protect boundaries. It isn’t a manual to master, but a process to return to oneself whenever footing is lost.
In a world where the pace and complexity keep rising, our advantage isn’t speed – it’s steadiness.
