We Need New Leaders: The New Reputation Equity for Diverse CEOs

Charlotte Otter

Publisher: Practical Inspiration Publishing Released: 03/06/2025

Book PRThought Leader PRSerialisationAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadioSocial Media

Despite the growing demand for diversity in the C-suite, leaders from diverse backgrounds remain dramatically underrepresented, and those who break through often have shorter tenures than their peers.

In her timely new book, We Need New Leaders, executive communications expert Charlotte Otter, argues that a key factor often overlooked is the importance of reputation management and strategic communication: how these aspiring leaders are seen, heard and trusted.

Combining extensive, original research with over 20 years of professional experience, including leading a global executive communications team, Charlotte offers an empowering roadmap for diverse talent to navigate systemic barriers to excel and succeed at the top.

We Need New Leaders is more than a leadership manual however, it’s a call to action for a new generation of diverse, authentic leaders to rise and thrive in the C-suite, on their own terms. Rather than forcing diverse talent to conform to outdated leadership norms, Charlotte encourages them to embrace their identities, own their narratives and build strong, authentic reputations.

The book provides practical tools for aspiring leaders to master their public presence, shape how they're perceived, and bridge the gap between potential and influence. Charlotte makes the case that authentic, inclusive leadership is not just possible - it’s urgently needed.

We Need New Leaders is both a guidebook and manifesto for those ready to be seen and heard as the leaders they truly are. In an era where organisations are under pressure to deliver real inclusion and impact, it delivers essential insights for HR leaders, boards and executives alongside powerful tools for the leaders of tomorrow.

In this vein, Your Best Digital Life shows readers how to stop, re-evaluate and take control of their digital lives.

Mother Animal

Helen Jukes

Publisher: Elliott & Thompson Released: 27.02.2025

Book PRPublisher PRSerialisationAuthor InterviewsReviews

When Helen Jukes falls pregnant, she does what anyone else would do. She searches for information to help make sense of the changes underway inside her. But as the months pass and her body becomes increasingly strange, the pregnancy guides seem insufficient; even the advice of her friends feels oppressive.

So she widens her frame of reference, looking beyond humans to ask what motherhood looks like in other species. Here she begins a process of wilder enquiry, in which stories of spiders, polar bears, bonobos and burying beetles (among others) begin to unsettle and expand her notion of what mothering is; what it could be.

As she enters the sleeplessness, chaos and intimate discoveries of life with a newborn, these animal stories become Helen’s companions and guides. They allow her to explore where her own animality begins and ends and how the polluted stuff of human industry has come to influence life, even from its very beginnings.

A passionate, visceral and intimate account of a body changed, Mother Animal combines personal memoir with fresh insights from evolutionary biology, zoology and toxicology to ask the big questions that lie at the heart of what it means to be alive – and a mother – today.
