Here are some endorsements of UNFEAR:
I just finished my first reading of Unfear and I’m deeply moved. Karlin has done an amazing job of weaving and synthesizing important ideas and concepts in ways that support looking at ourselves, our organizations and our world in fresh, creative ways. Unfear is an inspiring and practical guide to facing our fears and taking on creating a world that we want to live in. –Marc Lesser, author of LESS: Accomplishing More by Doing Less
A leadership book that engages the head and heart! Karlin Sloan delivers: great metaphors, inspiring stories, and practical, doable, illuminating exercises. Karlin captures the unique millennial opportunity for society in her concept of unfear, and she advances that concept through an extraordinarily clear and useful four-step model for practice in a complex and fast-changing world. Leaders of organizations in search of meaning, relevance, outcomes, justice, and community engagement have a map to success in her narrative. ~Raymond E. Crossman, Ph.D., President, Adler School of Professional Psychology
“This book isn’t for everybody – it’s just for those people who are willing to believe in a bright future. Karlin’s concept of unfear and its relevance for individuals and organizations manages to be original, comprehensive, and compelling. I am going to tell every leader I know, ‘You need to read this!’ –Miles Kierson, author of The Transformational Power of Executive Team Alignment
Karlin writes beautifully; she writes from a place of depth where spirit and heart meet clear thinking. The result is a powerful narrative that addresses the most most basic deterrent to leadership – fear. – Prof. Sudhanshu Palsule, winner, Helsinki School of Economics Best Faculty of the Year Award, 2008
Without a doubt, this book is transformational–from a personal and organizational perspective. By focusing on ourselves and our connection to how we respond and react to situations and circumstances, we have untold power. It is from our own individual and unique strengths that we can have a better impact on those around us and the organizations we are a part of. This practical book is one that you will read over and over. – Lisa Harnisch, People and Culture Lead, Oregon Department of Human Services
