Imagine that you were someone who had built a career on new models of leadership, particularly women& #39;s leadership, as a force for cultural change and revolution.
That you& #39;d spent a decade supporting diverse talent and training against bias in professional environments.

EVERYTHING.
Imagine the book was, let& #39;s call it, 2/3 done when corona hit. And it was good, but conditioned for an environment *before* a pandemic ripped the veil off everything that& #39;s wrong with our culture and society in stark terms, with no exit in sight.
