Anchored, Aligned, Accountable - Large Print by Aiko Bethea (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A bold framework for successfully navigating complicated interactions at work and at home--by one of the first leadership coaches to infuse her work with an equity lens and propose spaces for connection that require both accountability and generosity.

We all have that moment we wish we could do over. Maybe it was a comment you made at work. Or a look you gave a loved one. These moments can cause real, lasting damage and they happen when we are misaligned with who we aspire to be. In this groundbreaking new book, Aiko Bethea teaches us how live every moment intentionally by introducing the "Anchored-Aligned-Accountable" framework:

Transformation requires that we are anchored in our values, our intention and impact are aligned, and we are accountable to ourselves and others.

Bethea takes readers through real-life scenarios from her career as a leadership coach, showing us how to re-think our "mess-ups" as moments that offer us a choice: We can shrink away, make a halfhearted apology, and refuse to enact change in our approach--or we can apply a new framework to alter our entire mindset and quality of life.

With an inviting and witty voice, Anchored, Aligned, Accountable teaches us how to intentionally lean into our fears and learn from our mistakes. Bethea invites us to embrace connection over competition, empathy over pity, and vulnerability over ego, and work towards becoming the version of ourselves we truly admire.
