"If you are looking for a way to become your authentic self, then look no further than this authentic author who shares her own story to encourage and allow you to become the person you choose to be. Kimberly gives practical examples, useful exercises and solid suggestions to allow all of us to connect with our real self and to project this self in a manner that allows us to maximize our potential and to become comfortable with ourselves. Well worth the read and the practice."
Jeffrey C. Barnes
Former Dean of GE Crotonville
"Brave Leadership clearly describes and convincingly prescribes a solution to a hidden crisis holding back far too many people: Fear. The stories will keep you turning the page; the practical guidance will make you glad you did. A thoughtful, useful addition to the leadership literature."
Scott Anthony
Managing Partner of Innosight, and Author of The Little Black Book of Innovation and Seeing What's Next (with Clayton Christensen)
"It’s high time we re-defined “brave,” particularly in the context of management and leadership. Kimberly Davis’s Brave Leadership challenges outdated assumptions and offers fresh perspective for emerging leaders who want to be true not only to the people inspired to follow them, but to themselves. "
Donna Fenn
Author of "Upstarts: How GenY Entrepreneurs are Rocking the World of Business"
"I believe the secret sauce for tomorrow's complex cultural challenges lies hidden in the emotional power of authentic informed leadership? Davis explores how virtually any person can become a more authentic leader."
Jon Kazenbach
Managing Director, PwC
"Brave Leadership is a book written about real leadership, the kind that is expressed through a shaky voice with sweaty palms and a tightened stomach, like everyday leadership if we are honest about it. Kimberly Davis takes us on a journey through the emotional, psychological, and physiological sensations that hijack our best. Wrapped in the warm and compassionate hug of her own experience, she whispers her magic into our ear and then pushes us out on the stage with a gentle, you can do it. A must read for those who aspire to lead."
Mike Cook
Author of "Thriving in the Middle"
"Davis leaps past leadership jargon and gives readers actionable tools! What do I love about Brave Leadership? It is not your typical business book. It's a roadmap for the business of life."
