The Courage to Build: Leadership Lessons to Thrive in Changing Times and When Time is Running Out (Paperback)
What if building your vision didn’t require burning out to get there?
The Courage to Build: Leadership Lessons to Thrive in Changing Times and When Time Is Running Out is not another manual on productivity — it’s a mirror, a map, and a quiet revolution for those who are done leading at the expense of their peace.
Dr. Gabrielle Wallace writes with rare clarity and care, inviting leaders, visionaries, and builders to return to themselves. Through a blend of lived experience, strategic depth, and gentle insight, she offers more than frameworks—she offers relief. Relief from urgency. Relief from performance. Relief from the quiet ache of trying to carry it all.
This book is a lifeline for the one staring at the calendar wondering, Can I keep doing this like this? It’s for the leader whose heart is heavy with ambition and exhaustion. For the builder who wants to create something that lasts—without losing themselves in the process.
Inside these pages, you’ll find structure that breathes, strategy that honors your energy, and a rhythm of leadership that makes space for grief, joy, clarity, and return. Because leading well is not about doing more—it’s about becoming more whole.
If you’re ready to lead with your full self—brilliant, tired, healing, honest—this book will meet you exactly where you are. And walk with you from here.
