The Power of One: Leading with Civility, Candor, and Courage is a journey of personal power and intentional influence. A better world, workplace, and community begins with you. You are the "it" factor. You have the power to use your everyday words and actions to influence extraordinary change in the workplace and beyond. It only takes ONE to make a difference.

COVID-19, #MeToo, George Floyd-the events and movements of recent years have left us all with a hunger for positive change in every aspect of our lives. Yet most of us think we're powerless to affect change. This book was written to combat that lie. Within these pages, you'll find out the truth about who you are, what you have to offer, and how you can cultivate the power within you to create a new, positive dynamic in your home, office, neighborhood, and the world. Through powerful storytelling, Natasha Bowman provides meaningful and practical examples of how to build a life marked by civility, candor, and courage, as well as how to lead and develop cultures in which those virtues are on full display. You'll learn how to shape power dynamics that are inclusive and diverse as you become an advocate for true equity. Most importantly, you'll discover how to change lives for the better-starting with your own.
