What if sixty days could transform the way you lead - and the way you live?

After more than 30 years in high-stakes leadership roles, Carole M. Adolphe had mastered predicting outcomes, minimizing risk, and guiding organizations through growth and transition. As a trusted member of the C-suite, she delivered results again and again.

But beneath the success, something was breaking.

Misalignment. Burnout. A leadership culture built on performance instead of presence.

So she walked away.

Permission to Lead Differently: Eight Countries. One Awakening. A New Way to Lead is not a book about escape - it's about returning. Returning to self. To alignment. To leadership that doesn't require you to disappear behind a role.

Blending powerful storytelling with leadership insight drawn from journeys across Bali, Japan, South Korea, Tanzania, Ghana, Egypt, Switzerland, and Colombia, Carole translates lived experience into practical wisdom leaders can apply back in the boardroom.

This book is especially for leaders who are:feeling devalued despite their contributions
experiencing public success and private exhaustion
struggling with identity, purpose, and voice
looking for alternatives to normalized burnout
spending more energy performing than leading
done with systems that reward endurance over alignment
ready to stop shrinking to belong



Inside, you'll discover how to:let go of what no longer serves you
lead with intention instead of urgency
hold complexity with clarity
reclaim your voice and presence
redefine success on your own terms
lead boldly - without burnout



Permission to Lead Differently invites you into a leadership culture shift grounded in lived truth, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.

If you're ready to lead from alignment instead of exhaustion-
 from clarity instead of performance-
 from purpose instead of pressure-

You have permission to lead differently.

Eight Countries. One Awakening. A New Way to Lead

Permission to Lead Differently

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

Finding Voice and Agency Through Composition

Writing as Self-Design

Seven bodies. One photograph. Endless lies.
Christmas Eve, London 1981. Forensic investigator Leyla Scott opens an anonymous envelope. Inside is a photograph of seven corpses in an abandoned church crypt, with a swastika painted in blood behind them.
Leyla, disillusioned with Whitehall's secrets, was ready to resign from Naval Security, but this case pulls her back in... into the icy wastes of South Georgia, into the orbit of MI6, and into a web of secrets for which she is not prepared.
As Britain edges closer to war, loyalties fracture and the truth - buried beneath ice and blood - may cost more than anyone is willing to pay.

A Historical Conspiracy Thriller of Power and Deception

Hound Bay

What if the only way to break through the chaos in your life was to stop trying to move the mountains in your path - and instead learn to traverse them?

Chris thought he had it all under control: a career with real potential, a family he loved deeply, and dreams of building a better life for them all. But when the weight of his failures pushes him to the brink, he finds himself thrust into a surreal wilderness where nothing is certain-except the lessons that will change everything.

From cattle drives across blistering Nevada deserts to campfires in the Montana backcountry, Chris meets unlikely guides who challenge his assumptions about control, failure, and redemption. Each encounter forces him to confront his deepest regrets, his failing marriage, and the truth he's been running from: that the mountains in life don't move just because we want them to.

Blending vivid adventure with profound allegory, Cursing at Mountains takes readers on a journey through shifting landscapes of desert, forest, and canyon-where every road is a choice, every choice has a consequence, and growth comes only through surrender.

Fans of Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, or Matt Haig's reflective storytelling will find the same mix of inspiration, adventure, and timeless wisdom in these pages.

Chris's struggle is every person's struggle-the battle to let go, to forgive, and to find the courage to start again. His journey will leave you asking: what mountains am I cursing at in my own life?

Cursing at Mountains

Positive psychology researcher and bestselling author Michelle Gielan reveals how science-backed habits can help you sustain optimism and thrive through stress, uncertainty, and change.Optimism--it's crucial for making progress in life and work. And it's easy to feel optimistic at the start of a new project or when you're on a successful roll, full of hope and energy. But when setbacks strike, optimism can quickly evaporate, dragging down performance, morale, and even health. With workplace engagement at an all-time low and burnout at historic highs, the key question becomes this: How do we sustain optimism--even through challenging times?Bestselling author and researcher Michelle Gielan offers a science-backed answer in Resilient Optimism. Drawing on decades of research in positive psychology and neuroscience, Gielan reveals that making optimism endure isn't about forcing positive emotions or ignoring reality--it's about building simple, repeatable behaviors that create a positive mindset and make it stick. These mindful practices transform challenges into fuel for resilience, performance, and well-being.With compelling stories and actionable strategies, Gielan guides readers through five key behaviors: recalibrating mindset to focus on what's working, reframing stress as a tool for growth, triaging commitments to protect energy, recharging smarter to sustain performance, and connecting the dots of our busy lives through small acts that spark meaning. To support her advice, she shares breakthrough findings--from studies showing how optimism predicts success and health to real-world examples of leaders and teams who turned adversity into advantage.Practical, inspiring, and deeply researched, this book shows that optimism isn't a predetermined trait--it's a trainable skill, accessible to anyone. Whether you're navigating organizational upheaval, economic uncertainty, or personal setbacks, Resilient Optimism is your roadmap for thriving in tough times.

The Science of Sustaining a Positive Mindset in Tough Times

Resilient Optimism

A riveting account of how the US criminal legal system punishes millions without conviction--asking us to rethink the freedoms we give up for the illusion of safety.Every encounter with the criminal legal system, from a traffic stop to a day in jail, carries a human cost. This cost rests on a fragile bargain at the heart of our democracy: we give the government power in exchange for protection. But how much of our liberty are we willing to surrender for the promise of safety? In Collateral Damage, attorneys Justin and Zach Brooks take readers on a devastating tour through the criminal legal system, exposing the real-life trade-offs of this false promise. Blending gripping personal stories with legal analysis, they trace the long arc of America's struggle between fear and freedom--from the Red Scare and Japanese American internment to the evolution of criminal procedure, civil forfeiture, and today's extrajudicial killings, offering pragmatic reforms along the way. The result is an eye-opening portrait of a system that punishes millions without ever sending them to prison and a powerful warning to rethink whether the balance we've struck truly reflects the values we claim to hold.

Sacrificing Liberty for Safety in Our Criminal Legal System

Collateral Damage

A centuries-old secret lies hidden in plain sight, etched in glass, buried in art, and guarded by those who would kill to protect it.

When museum researcher Ethan Cole uncovers a Byzantine mosaic embedded with strange geometric patterns, he's drawn into a conspiracy that spans centuries. With art historian Clara Vialli, he follows a trail of symbols and manuscripts from Venice to London and Cairo, uncovering the legend of a lost archive, the Mosaic Key, that holds the power to rewrite history itself.

As they race to unlock its meaning, they face an unseen enemy determined to silence the truth forever.

Fast-paced and rich with historical mystery, The Mosaic Key is the first Cole &amp; Vialli Adventure, a thriller that explores how the past shapes the present, and how far people will go to protect the myths that define them.
