This Book Is Captivating, Tangible, Compelling And A Glorious Gift To The World

Gut-wrenching, empowering, and thoroughly pragmatic. ‘Her Middle Name is Courage’ is an impossible to ignore, call to action, for anyone who wants to do more, be more, have more, and give more. Heidi Dening is indeed gutsy and this book will remind you how gutsy you can be. Having this depth of courage and this level of resilience is essential for leaders if they want to shine in their workplaces. For those who lack confidence or direction it is known that we often do our best reflection, decision-making and planning outside of office hours. This is a book that facilitates that development journey.”

Some Chapters Are Like The Gripping Movies We Yearn To Discover

"Reading ‘Her Middle Name Is Courage’ is a bit like catching up with an old friend, whilst at the same time learning from one of your most respected mentors. It’s a book you want to settle in to, it keeps you interested so that you don’t want to leave it, and some of the chapters are like the gripping movies we yearn to discover. It’s a very moving book, I will be honest, I was brought to tears reading it on a number of occasions, but I also rejoiced in the inspiration and the learning to be gained from it. There are so many incredible insights to learn from, you almost want to start right back at the beginning again to read it all over just to make sure you fully take it all in. This book is so relevant for everyone at all levels, and it really needs to be shared!
