Official NFAA Review:
In The Dignity Mindset, author Susan Hodgkinson expertly breaks down where companies often struggle to create diverse, inclusive environments, sometimes outright failing in their efforts to curb bias in their ranks… Beyond academically highlighting the problem, Hodgkinson delivers timely, in-depth, actionable strategies that management teams of any size would do well to implement in order to engage and empower employees to prosper, thereby contributing to the growth of the organization, and ultimately, society as a whole. Highly recommended!
Finally, a book that breaks through to the heart of why gender equity has stalled and what to do about it. The Dignity Mindset gives business leaders innovative, actionable and practical solutions on how to stand for inclusion and lead a cultural shift in their organizations at the belief system level.
The Leader's Edge outlines a powerful approach to professional development rooted in Hodgkinson's proprietary 5 P's of Leadership Brand®— Persona, Product, Packaging, Promotion and Permission.
Susan Hodgkinson and her team of leadership and personal branding consultants help executives succeed through a unique combination of coaching, leadership branding workshops and speaking engagements.
