Michelle Moore is a powerful voice championing a unique brand of unapologetic, yet compassionate activism for positive change in race, gender and social bias found in business, sport, government and education. In Real Wins, she uses her own experience in sport and leadership, as well as interviews with world-class athletes and leaders, to challenge stereotypes and tired assumptions and show anyone who feels held back by the colour of their skin, the shape of their body or their social background, how to create their own winning formula and to succeed on their own terms.

A leadership book your future leaders want you to read.
Revisado: 02-05-22
A practical action focused book about how to activate your leadership skills and build the muscle to be a force for good for the things that are important to you. Michelle passionately and generously shares her experience as Black British woman of mixed race heritage. She provides a black cultural lens using sport as a story telling anchor that empowers anyone that has ever felt marginalized and provides insights and learnings for people in power who want to understand how to recognize their biases and activate their privilege to empower others. A book for leaders - current and future.

Beyond race or class, our lives are defined by a powerful, unspoken system of divisions. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson gives an astounding portrait of this hidden phenomenon. Linking America, India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson reveals how our world has been shaped by caste - and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today. With clear-sighted rigour, Wilkerson unearths the eight pillars that connect caste systems across civilisations and demonstrates how our own era of intensifying conflict and upheaval has arisen as a consequence of caste.

It was worth the pain of cognitive dissonance.
Revisado: 09-13-20
The book is thorough. It was a personally rewarding listen. This story was told through the lens of a black African American female who straddles many worlds of marginalization, privilege and power, bringing alive the concepts in a way that makes the book layered and worth reading multiple times. The book empowers, humiliates, angers and consoles as it takes us on a global journey that provides parallels and analogies that creates discomfort and a-ha moments.
It provides a reference guide and framework for constructive debate and discussion. The book provides a call to action in order to empower people from different ‘castes’ to increase self awareness of the cultural codes of conduct that we are often unconsciously choosing to reinforce which is having a cataclysmic impact on the the way we all engage with the ‘mythology of power’ based on the illusion of our own superiority or inferiority which creates real consequences for the development of humanity.
Many academics, cultural commentators and race experts have articulated the points in Isabel Wilkerson’s book before but her book provides a millennial language, full of references that make it relevant for a new generation whose behaviour is informed by history but now due to globalization and technology have the ability to access information to challenge a 400 year old system that is no longer sustainable and has become counterintuitive to human and economic development.
The book provides food for thought and an invitation to radically redefine empathy. It is a book for all lives but especially those who have power and are ready to decide whether the history they create today by ignoring the past is the future they want their children to experience by reinforcing it.
The book is not a panacea but its a perfect pandemic read, that may help us to calm the coming storm by taking the time we are inside our homes to take a look at what’s really going on inside our heads and challenge it. Thank you Isabel Wilkerson for going on this journey. You are appreciated.
