Goldie Chan

As an introvert and cancer survivor who has built a career as a global keynote speaker, I know firsthand how intimidating personal branding can feel. That is why I created this book: to make the process accessible, encouraging, and practical for everyone, especially those who do not see themselves as the loudest voice in the room. Too often, introverts are told they must mimic extroversion to succeed, advice that can feel exhausting and overwhelming. My goal is to dispel that myth and show that introverts already have unique strengths such as deep listening, thoughtful communication, and authentic connection that can be powerful assets in building a brand. This book offers strategies to help readers navigate outside overwhelm while staying true to themselves. It proves that personal branding is not reserved for extroverts; it is a tool anyone can use to share their story, grow their career, and create lasting impact.

It shows you how to master the art of the ask and empowers you to define, shape, and realize what you seek. It reveals the secrets of great questioning, no matter where it’s applied. Its groundbreaking research and intimate storytelling teach a kid-simple framework and show how to use it. The lessons at the core of Great Question are nothing short of the key to thriving in a deeply uncertain world – for leaders, and for every one of us.

Rochelle Trow

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.

Stephen Norris

This book helps founders, business owners and leaders build more authentic, successful organisations by challenging conventional leadership thinking. Rather than encouraging people to fit into corporate norms, it shows how individuality and honesty can become competitive advantages. Written by Stephen Norris, who grew up in care, was excluded from school at 10, became the founding frontman of UK punk band Special Duties, and later built and sold successful businesses, the book draws on lived experience rather than theory.

Across 40 practical chapters, it demonstrates how authenticity, resilience and the confidence to challenge accepted wisdom can lead to stronger leadership and better decision-making. It is particularly valuable for entrepreneurs/leaders who have never felt they fit the traditional mould, giving them the confidence to embrace what makes them different. The result is a practical blueprint for creating businesses and careers that stand out.

"The Connector's Compass" helps people build relationships that actually matter, both at work and in life. Most professionals dread networking: the awkward small talk, the business card exchanges, the transactional feeling. Joe Koufman argues that networking isn't the secret to success, rather connection is. Drawing on more than 1,300 introductions through his firm, Setup, and three marriages that began with his introductions, Joe shows how anyone, even introverts, can become a skilled connector through curiosity, vulnerability, and authenticity. Readers learn to ask questions that spark meaningful conversations, build trust, make introductions that create lasting value, and maintain relationships that compound over decades.

They come away with more confidence and a clearer path to building friendships, professional ties, and a support system that lasts. The book also encourages readers to make introductions for others, so the benefit extends beyond themselves.

Why You Felt Crazy helps readers do one specific thing: recognize emotional abuse while it's happening, not years later. Most people in psychologically abusive relationships don't know they're in one. They think they're too sensitive, too forgetful, too difficult. This book names the patterns (gaslighting, coercive control, trauma bonding) in plain language, from inside the experience rather than from clinical distance. One reviewer wrote: "I didn't even realize I was doing it until Quinn named it." Another said a friend who shared the book "might have saved me some years of confusion." That is the measurable benefit: shortening the distance between confusion and clarity, which can mean leaving a harmful relationship years sooner, protecting mental health, finances, and safety. The book also serves readers after they leave, when healing feels slower than expected. You cannot escape what you cannot name. This book names it.

Most leadership approaches focus on how to lead others. CORE Leadership starts from a different premise: leadership starts with leading yourself. It helps leaders create a clear vision of the person and leader they want to be and gives them practical tools to put that vision into action. Through the four-step CORE framework, readers clarify what matters to them, translate it into everyday behaviors, recognize where they have choice, and evaluate the impact they are having. Readers have shared how the framework has helped them clarify their purpose, become more aware of their impact, see choices they hadn’t previously recognized, and make intentional changes in how they lead and live. As leaders become more intentional and exercise greater agency over how they show up, the impact extends beyond them, strengthening relationships, creating healthier teams and workplaces, and positively affecting the people they lead, work with, and live with.
