…If so, you’re in good company. More and more employees, customers, and business leaders agree that how and why money is made is increasingly as important as how much money is made.
Yet business leaders often fear being labeled as naive if they pursue social good while pursuing profit. That fear can be paralyzing, ultimately keeping them from sharing – and acting on – their biggest and best ideas.
When we screen ourselves to present only what’s accepted as realistic within the mainstream, we eliminate the option for positive transformation – and when that happens, everyone misses out.
The world is always evolving, and so is how we lead.
While most people think being naive, especially in business, is a bad thing, I have to respectfully disagree. I’ve repeatedly seen an intentional, chosen naivete lead to better business and a more fulfilled life – and that’s exactly what I want for you.
This book is full of engaging stories, humor, and practical advice. For those who strive to take on the complex challenge of evolving company culture, it's like having a mentor by your side.

“Our behaviors and beliefs power much of the success we experience in business and life. When we pause and create space to reflect on what we believe, we realize some of those beliefs are self-limiting. Through anecdotes and provocative business ideas, this book will help you create that space.”

“This provided me with a refresh and a shot of courage. You’ve also made me question myself and reflect on losing my way in the “give first” mentality. I’ve allowed an extremely busy, all-growth, Private Equity environment to be my crutch for not focusing on people first. You really have something cooking with this topic.”
DAN ARNOLD, Senior Vice President of National Operations at Protos Security
“My initial inclination to the word ‘naivete’ is quite negative. After college and now years in business, I have become quite jaded. Trust does not come easy. After reading your book, I feel more equipped to identify beliefs that may be limiting, question them, and to let my authenticity into the room again. I’m looking forward to this journey of unlearning and choosing a path that leads to the new ROI (personally and professionally).”
PEGGY CHRISTENSEN, Enterprise Software & Data Services Manager, Hamilton Telecommunications
