Though I’ve seen the cover, and obviously know the contents, it was still great to receive some galley copies of my book – Choosing Courage: The Everyday Guide to Being Brave at Work – that will be released on May 18, 2021 by Harvard Business Review Press. 

Turns out that pre-orders make a bigger difference than I ever knew, so if you’re interested in getting a copy, it’d be great if you could do so now. To pre-order, click here.

If you want to learn more about the book, or download and read Chapter 1 for free, please visit my website (jimdetert.com).
