Drawing upon insights from experienced leaders, you are guided through your own leadership journey. Composure helps you frame and focus your personal quest, develop an understanding of your key leadership challenges, learn to live in courage and faith, and to develop your unique leadership presence.

    4.0 out of 5 stars “We need leaders who can operate with cool heads and warm hearts
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2015
    Never has there been a greater need for this book. Leaders of today are under tremendous pressure to do more, be more and deliver more. With unrealistic expectations and mental, emotional and physical capacities reaching breaking point, Composure provides the answer to the question we’re too stretched to ask; How do we stay centered in the storm of leadership life? How do we hold true, stay calm and show grace under fire in the very moments we don’t want to or don’t know how to? As Routh says, “We need leaders who can operate with cool heads and warm hearts, regardless of external circumstances.” This book presents a compelling case for the importance of centered leadership. Filled with interesting and poignant case studies and personal stories, Routh combines her linguistic prowess and endearing expression with wisdom, vulnerability, transparency and compassion. She invites her readers to step into the best version of themselves and holds the possibility for everyone to be able to take this step. Through her practical concepts and strategies the path to centered leadership is well lit. Thanks for sharing this profound work with the world!

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book for leaders within large organisations to read!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015
    What a great book for leaders within large organisations to read! With so much going on internally it can be hard to navigate time and space for empowering your team and yourself. Zoë’s style of writing is very personal, and she generously shares a great deal of herself in the pages, which makes this an easy read. The insights shared and thought provoking suggestions help guide the reader to consider themselves, their role as a leader and how they are (and want to be) received. It can be challenging to negotiate a strong position as a leader within a large organisation, so this book is a great step in the process of building your position as a leader of note, someone others want to work with.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It's in our moments of greatest challenge that being centred has the biggest impact
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015
    You can't read Zoe's new book without a few moments where you think 'did that really just happen'? From fighting cancer, to tragedy at a fun run, Zoe writes about confronting the dragon we all face. It's in our moments of greatest challenge that being centred has the biggest impact. These are not moments we can plan for, these are moments that simply happen. Do some corporate executives live a lifestyle that has a higher chance of them burning out or blowing up? Zoe shows how being composed as a leader is not a fad or a fashion, but one of the most important tools for the modern leader. Whether you're guiding yourself, your team or your organisation this book is full of practical examples and exercises to help you develop your unique leadership presence.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Face down the dragon
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2015
    Adventurist and survivor Zoë Routh has written an impassioned invitation for leaders to go boldly to the places that scare them, face down their fears, and come out the other side renewed and better able to share their gifts in service to others.

    Using the Quest as a framework, Routh weaves together stories from her own life, stories of inspiring leaders, and a practical survival kit for the journey to centred leadership.

    If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, embattled, or stressed as a leader, this book may be just what you need to reframe your approach.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Belief Busting Matrix is great!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2015
    Great book! I picked up the book because I was feeling the pressure of work (and life!). Two sections that stood out for me were the Belief Buster Matrix - challenging what I believe about myself and the three principles for framing the quest - what you want to achieve as a leader. Great book and an easy read.
