“In this time of turbulence and polarization, the book I turn to is Margaret J Wheatley’s Who Do We Choose To Be? In an unexpected way, it offers solace to know the world has been down this path before in some fashion. It’s not a ‘how to’ book with a laundry list of items that exhibit the ideals of leadership. Wheatley offers examples of how leaders achieved greater impact by using whatever power and influence we have to achieve greater impact. The book is not about the position of leading from the front, back or alongside, but the possibilities from within to create islands of sanity and a call to action. The book is an invitation to seek the humanity and possibilities in all of us regardless of our titles and pedigree, it inspires and holds me accountable; and after all, isn’t that what leadership is about?” - Cecilia Wessinger

Informing the reader how we got to our current state and how we can design for a future of abundance. It is an informative book that offers a window to widen perspectives, explore, reflect, and invite you to move towards a future of your own design.” - Cecilia Wessinger
