It's a Wrap
Dear friends and revolutionaries,
apologies for taking a few days to write this - since the campaign finished we have been doing a lot of writing, had a couple more interviews and done some work around getting the bags, t-shirts and pins ordered. We also both got sick (winter, be gone!)... so had some time to reflect!
We would like to express a deep gratitude to all of you to whom we could not already personally thank for your support. We have sold over 500 books(!) and have been so moved by the thought of such a wide range of people - some of whom we know, some of whom we don’t (yet) - digging into their pockets and signing up to support this movement towards a more diverse way of working. We have been touched by the messages from those who have shared with us their stories of disfranchisement at the workplace in its current form, and by the encouragement from those who are looking forward to embracing some new leadership tools.
In the process our own ideas around what the book should be have developed and concretised. We hope to deliver on our promise to create a hands on business book that presents a multitude of alternatives to doing business, which can stand strong alongside the current status quo, and provide a bouquet of options and inspirations from which to choose for your own leadership journey. Because (yes, this is an exclusive), one of the key common threads in all of the interviews that we have conducted has been the quiet power of the entrepreneurs to define their own path, not driven by an overdeveloped ego, but rather driven by a profound sense of individual purpose, their personal values and their authentic self. As well as a keen willingness to learn.
We have loved every step of the journey so far and can’t wait to let you in on some of the rest of the stuff that we have learned.
We will do our very best to stick to our deadline of July. In the meantime, we will keep you posted on how things proceed!
All the best and with love,
Naomi and Lisa
