The Leadership Roadmap You’ve Been Looking For
In One Bold Move a Day, I share the transformative mindsets that helped me regain my voice after years of holding back to make others comfortable, along with research-backed insights to advance your career, develop as a leader, and grow as a person. This practical, actionable guide shows how a single, measurable act each day can help you achieve your leadership goals with intention and joy.

This book is for you if:
You've received pushback for being "too much" and started questioning your leadership style.
You're balancing ambitious goals with workplace expectations that weren't designed for you.
You're ready to stop dimming your light and start making moves that align with your values.
You want practical strategies that work in real leadership situations, not just theory.
The Power of Bold Moves
What if instead of constantly adapting to others' expectations (what I like to call dancing backward in heels), you could chart your own path to leadership success? Drawing from 20+ years of experience in multibillion dollar organizations and leading large teams, I provide practical strategies for achieving your goals without sacrificing your authentic self. From mindset shifts to team leadership, One Bold Move a Day gives you the tools to transform your daily actions into career-changing momentum. When we make Bold Moves consistently, we don't just change our own trajectories—we create stronger workplace cultures and more effective teams that naturally drive better results.
“One Bold Move a Day is a must-read for aspiring and current leaders who want to make a meaningful impact on the world and those around them. Using personal stories and research-based strategies, Shanna Hocking shows you how to make meaningful actions to get you closer to who you want to become in your professional and personal life.”
