There are so many lessons from these amazing humans and Jade captures that perfectly. A highly recommended read for anyone aiming to be the best version of themselves and to be a contributor within their own teams.'

'What my Sherpa Taught Me about Teams was a lot of fun! With more people working from home than ever before, it's critical to know how to establish and sustain engaged, connected teams. So many leadership books are pure theory, but I found this to be both thought-provoking and practical. I'm excited to put some of the ideas and suggestions provided into practice; this is a book I would recommend to leaders who want to increase team engagement and create genuine connections.'
