“Cheryl is a big-hearted advocate for our community and the leaders inside of it who are driving positive change. Don’t miss this gem of a book chock full of lessons in leadership and life.” —Besa Pinchotti, Executive Director and CEO, National Military Family Association
“Having seen Cheri Mason in action as the new board chairman and CEO, I could immediately appreciate both the cultural challenges that awaited her and her readiness to meet them head-on. Early on, she infused the organization with fresh energy and a people-centric atmosphere that fostered optimism about the new direction for the board. Despite facing a seemingly insurmountable appeals backlog, she soon commanded respect through her willingness to embody the challenge and speak truth to power on behalf of her people. The results of her leadership spoke volumes as the people she valued improved the processes they used to get the desired payoff that everyone sought, in terms of timelier access to justice and restored lives for veterans and their families. I plan to add Cheri’s book to my leadership library, hand out copies to my mentees, and recommend her book to any other leader looking to supercharge their leadership skills.” —Sherman Gillums Jr., Director, Office of Disability Integration and Coordination; Federal Emergency Management Agency; and Former Executive Director, Paralyzed Veterans of America
