Unboxing Adversity: My New Book Is Almost Here
I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my new book, The Box: How the Gift of Adversity Shapes Growth, Innovation, and Transformation.
This book is a deeply personal and practical exploration of how the challenges we face—what I call "the box"—can become the fuel for our growth and reinvention. It’s about more than just bouncing back. It’s about breaking out.
Drawing on decades of leadership experience and real-world case studies, The Box brings together stories of people, businesses, and movements that used adversity as a catalyst. From Netflix’s strategic pivots to the unexpected origins of Play-Doh, from Nelson Mandela’s long walk to freedom to everyday individuals who refused to stay stuck—I highlight how adversity, when engaged with purpose, can spark creativity, courage, and transformation.
Inside, you’ll find original tools like the Adversity Matrix™ and the Adversity Pivot Playbook™—practical frameworks to help you shift from limitation to liberation, whether leading a company, a community, or your own life.
If you’ve ever felt boxed in, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s next, this book is for you. It’s a guide—and a challenge—to see adversity not as something to avoid, but as the very thing that can unlock your most significant growth.
The release is imminent, and I’ll share more in the coming days. I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
