We're Gonna Need Cake: Celebrating Authentic Leadership in a Messy World

Bring your humanity to work to become a better leader.

Life is messy. You know it and your employees know it. But the unspoken rules of professionalism dictate that we don't talk about it. However, what if trying to keep your real, messy life compartmentalized from your work life isn't doing you any favors? What if, instead, the opposite is true?

In We're Gonna Need Cake, speaker and coach Valerie Garcia draws on her research, along with lessons she's learned over decades working with brands around the globe, to demonstrate how bringing your whole self to work strengthens your leadership and propels your career forward. Guided by The Authenticity Map, Garcia provides you with a blueprint to navigate the messiness of life and learn how to bring real emotions into the workplace in a productive way. With exercises in each chapter to help bring the concepts into personalized focus, you will finish with a better understanding of everything from failure and fear to compassion and confidence and how it all contributes to finding joy at work.

Written with honesty and humor, this guide is for the modern-day leader who wants the tools to create healthier workplaces, happier customers, and better teams.
