  Dr. Kimberly McGlonn's life is a story of two childhoods and two Americas. Born on the Northside of Milwaukee, a city Dr. Martin Luther King called "the Selma of the North," she was afforded all the comforts of middle-class life. However, when McGlonn was twelve, all that changed. What came next taught her about the consequences of poverty, the nuances of criminality, and the obstacles women in poverty navigate. 
  In Build It Boldly, she calls on the world's 524 million entrepreneurs to embrace a new kind of activism and legacy-building: one that puts people and the planet in the balance of the pursuit of profit and that promotes the kind of optimism necessary for climate resilience. A unique voice, Dr. McGlonn offers timely wisdom on what daring leadership requires and how we might use business design to create powerful impacts on behalf of the common good.

  Why do some relationships work and others don’t? 
  All relationships – at home, at work, and in life – face a similar set of inevitable hurdles. 
  Success comes from learning how to get over the hurdles ahead of time and taking personal responsibility for turning up well in our relationships. 
  When we don’t, we end up stumbling at every hurdle, living in frustration or giving up on the relationship all together. We leave partners, we leave families, we leave organizations... and in our wake we leave a trail of mental, emotional and financial trauma. 
  This book will help you understand why you need to be intentional about building your Relational Intelligence and how you can, in very practical terms, change your behaviors from habits that damage relationships to habits that strengthen them.
