In a world dominated by likes and viral content, we can often feel we’ve lost control of our relationship with the digital world. We doom-scroll, hate-follow, and over-share without a moment’s thought of whether technology is serving our interests – or if it’s the other way around. But in a time where our data is being stolen and our sense of self warped, we consistently underestimate our power to shape the relationship we have with technology, and to intentionally adopt behaviours that will help us create better online – and offline – lives.

In Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World, leading psychotherapist and cyber-psychologist Elaine Kasket offers a novel approach to understanding technology’s influence throughout your life, with poignant insights on the challenges it poses to our identity, development, relationships, and privacy from the cradle to the grave.

We have reached a tipping point. Time is running out to solve the problems of this decisive decade and make sustainability happen. But in this pivot or perish moment, action will only be possible with the right leadership in place.

In a time of disruption like never before, The Adventure of Sustainable Performance provides a bold blueprint for pioneers who want to shape the next era of business as we transition from the old world to the new.

Starting with a tour of the modern challenges of ESG compliance, tech advancements and stakeholder alignment, The Adventure of Sustainable Performance reminds us that ‘business as usual’ is no longer an option. Instead, McLachlan and Sanders expertly argue that fundamental changes to the economic, capitalist business models that we’re used to are inevitable, so it’s better to jump in the canoe and start the transition now than get stranded in the strongholds of the past.

Underpinned by the metaphor of an elephant charge, the authors provide a guidebook on the journey to sustainable performance and how to take decisive action in the face of the unknown. From the ‘Why’ of moving from shareholder to stakeholder systems to the ‘How’ of pivoting your mindset and attracting the right people to implement your transformation, the book presents a reimagined business landscape that will inspire courageous leaders to redefine how we think about growth, purpose, and value.

Based on the authors’ decades of experience shaping a more productive and resilient world - with McLachlan the CEO of Anthesis Group, the largest pure-play sustainability specialist globally, and Sanders as its Chief Enterprise Officer - the insights shared in executive interviews and case studies from Nestlé, Service Now, AXA, LanzaTech and many others offer a hopeful and practical guide to the transformative opportunities that can ensure long-term prosperity for society.

Perfect for C-suite, managers, directors, and other business leaders, The Adventure of Sustainable Performance is an exciting invitation to remind us that the real spirit of enterprise is creativity, courage, and vision.

In Equality vs Equity: Tackling Issues of Race in the Workplace, Jenny helps readers unpack the concept of racial equity and understand it’s importance in moving the dial up on inclusion in the workplace. Companies that strive for equality (treating everyone the same without discrimination) rarely factor in the need for equity, and yet it is equity that is the true capstone of the journey to achieve a fair work environment. Equity stands for fairness, yet what is fair is not necessarily equal, and what is equal is not necessarily fair. The best part about achieving equity is the unique and intangible sense of community and engagement it creates.

Equality vs Equity is the one-stop guide to help companies and leaders step away from making performative targets and statements, and do the real work required to make a fairer future for all.

This book not only gives a clear explanation as to the importance of achieving equity in the workplace, but provides the essential education needed for those who want to learn true allyship, and influence others in the ongoing work to eliminate racism in the workplace.

Jill Bausch was an executive living the "dream life''. She sipped champagne at the luxury hotels where she worked as a senior executive, traveled the world, and on the outside, looked as though she had achieved success. So why did she walk away? Bausch knew she wouldn't be fulfilled until she set her sights on much bigger missions: combatting the HIV pandemic and helping to uplift sex workers and women throughout the world.

Taking on the challenges facing sex workers and HIV+ people requires bravery. Going against what is expected from you, either as a woman, wife, mother or corporate executive, requires bravery. But Bausch knows that brave women really do win.

In Why Brave Women Win, Jill Bausch shares her story as a woman who used bravery to tackle imposter syndrome, find joy in failure, and transform into a real life hero. In this inspiring self-help book for women aiming to achieve all types of wins, you will learn:

• Why it's important to learn to mirror confidence until it is natural and how to do it
• Different levels of listening, and how they bring you closer (or pull you away) from reaching success
• The seven habits of highly successful women and how you can practice them
• What it takes to package yourself in a way that produces maximum impact without compromising your integrity or authenticity or your voice
• How to be a lasting leader during turbulent times

Jill's story does not start with her on a direct path to success; she is proof that any woman can be a hero with a little bit of bravery. Allow yourself to be inspired by her experiences throughout the world, absorb her advice, and march forward into the world on your own hero's journey.
