Who Believed in You: How Purposeful Mentorship Changes the World
Unleash the power of transformative mentorship. You can change somebody’s life—and that can change the world.

During the pandemic, Dina Powell McCormick and David McCormick watched as many Americans—including their six teenage daughters—were left feeling devoid of human connection and without the advice and guidance of mentors.

Recognizing the need in front of them, Dina and Dave interviewed successful leaders who stood on the shoulders of their mentor giants—people who saw something in them they may not have seen in themselves—and helped them find and achieve their purpose in life.

The book features stories from some of the most influential leaders across the country sharing how their mentors changed their lives, including Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft; Tory Burch, the founder of the women’s fashion empire; Hollywood producer Brian Grazer; as well as political leaders such as Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Who Believed in You unpacks the four critical elements of transformative mentorship—mutual trust, shared values, meaningful commitment, and the importance of instilling confidence—and offers guideposts and powerful illustrations from actual mentorship journeys that both show the way and inspire.

This book is just the beginning. Dina and Dave are starting a movement, encouraging leaders to share their stories of who believed in them and what advice they’re giving their mentees today.

Through unleashing the power of transformative mentorship, you can change someone’s life—and that can change the world.
