Reframing Leadership

Written By Katie Goar

Becoming a CEO before I'd ever held an executive role.
Adopting a child with special needs and trusting our family would grow stronger because of it.
Sharing my story of homelessness when I could have kept it hidden.

Looking back, I realize they all had one thing in common: Audacity.

This fall, I'm putting that into a book.
It isn't a memoir. It's a challenge. A reframe on leadership. A shift on how business is conducted.

The ideas in these pages have been shaped by over 150 conversations with ChangeMakers, lessons from leading Quadel, and a lifetime of learning that the biggest opportunities in our lives and careers rarely begin with certainty. They begin with Audacity. But with a plot twist on exactly what that is.

After carrying this manuscript for so long, I'm excited to share it soon. A few more red pen markups and it's ready.
