Bold Reinvented

Systems Inspired Leadership
By Marita Fridjhon (ORSC Co-Founder) and Frank Uit de Weerd
Contributing to the growing trend of collaborative and collective leadership models, one of the unique features of SIL is the recognition that, within any organisation, there is an integrated system, which also has intelligence and a voice. By tapping that collective wisdom, problems of all kinds are more easily overcome while doors to growth and innovation swing open. Rather than forcing solutions that lack context or alignment, SIL creates an environment where answers can emerge naturally.
A Life Coaching Approach to Screen Acting

Love It or Leave It: How to Be Happy at Work
By Samantha Clarke
The way we work has changed and that change is only accelerating. The advice we were given at school or by parents no longer makes sense in the world of digital nomads, social media overload and zero-hour contracts. Working out what you want to do and pursuing it is no longer as simple as studying the right degree. Even when we think we have our dream job, is it really what we thought it would be?

Penguin Business Expert James Routledge has worked with CEOs, HR directors, managers and people at all levels on successful mental-health strategies. In this book, James shares his stories, learnings and guidance.
Filled with honest and relatable stories, ‘conversation starters’ and exclusive case studies from a diverse range of businesses and their people, Mental Health at Work will support anyone with their mental health in the workplace journey.

Pause: Rethinking Leadership to Cultivate Healthy Workplace Cultures
By Karen Mason
Many leaders are unaware that they are holding on to traditional views about how to lead and manage on a day-to-day basis. Left unchallenged, this means that toxic cultures prevail in many organisations, as leaders disregard how they are contributing to these problems.
Pause is for you if you recognise the critical need for change but are unsure how you can make a difference. When you make it your daily practice to pause, listen more, advise less and hold the unshakeable belief that the people around you have answers, transformation occurs.
Finding You
By Lauren Robinson

Finding You is the guide and structure to support you start your daily practice. It will help you uncover yourself and give yourself some precious time each and every day to look after you.
Wild Courage: A Journey of Transformation For You and Your business
By Elle Harrison
Wild Courage is a book for anyone facing change, and wanting to creatively engage with it. Guiding you on an inner journey of transformation, it invites you to reconnect with six forgotten parts of life and leadership – dying, stillness, intuition, wildness, vulnerability and surrender – and to explore how these unlikely qualities might be a path to growth, meaning and a new kind of leadership.
We are very proud of everybody in the community who are dedicated to sharing their knowledge, experience and ideas, and are passionate about coaching and systems thinking. We hope you find this summary of books useful in areas of your life and business.
