Authentic Presence – Staying grounded in identity over performance
Purposeful Resilience – Turning adversity into leadership fuel
Growth Through Challenges – Using hardship to refine leadership
“This book is for leaders who are ready to stop chasing perfection and start leading from who they truly are,” says Crittenden. “It’s about reclaiming leadership as a people-centered, purpose-driven journey.”
