Forget Normal - I Want Magic
This isn't just another run-of-the-mill leadership book. It's a bold unapologetic call to break free from outdated models for anyone who feels trapped by traditional leadership roles.
Lead with courage, clarity and results that stick. Forget Normal - I Want Magic shows you how to turn mindset, awakening, gumption, intuition and charisma into everyday leadership habits for today's fast, people-first workplaces.
Written by Claire Brumby, this bold, practical guide uses real-world strategies, bite-size exercises and journaling prompts to help you trust yourself, make confident decisions and bring people with you. You will replace rigid, top-down habits with a human approach that still delivers outcomes.
