A bold new 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 accountability with generosity
We all have that moment we wish we could do over. Maybe it was a comment you made at work. Maybe 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 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 has spent her life helping folks envision and pursue their aspirational selves, including becoming the leaders they want to be, both at work and in life. By taking the reader through real-life scenarios from her career, and situations she’s seen first-hand, Bethea shows us how to rethink the moments when we mess up as ones that offer us a choice. We can shrink away, make a halfhearted apology, and refuse to enact changes in our approach—or we can apply a new framework and change our entire mindset and quality of life.
With a warm, inviting, and witty voice, Anchored Aligned Accountable teaches us how to intentionally lean into our fears, as well as learn from our mistakes instead of losing our connections with others. 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.
