Artificial Identity: The Unearthing by Renee Brown, book cover

New Book

You Have Been Leading. But Have You Been Leading as Yourself?

Artificial Identity: Excavating the Leader You Were Actually Built to Be

In a world that rewards performance, most leaders have become experts at playing the role. They have mastered the language, adopted the posture, and built careers on a version of themselves that looks like leadership but does not always feel like it.

Artificial Identity is the book that asks the harder question. Not how to lead better. But who is actually doing the leading.

Through honest assessment, sharp insight, and a framework built for high-performing professionals who are ready to stop performing and start leading, this book takes you through the excavation process of uncovering the leader you were actually built to be before the titles, the pressure, and the expectations covered them up.

About the Book

Artificial Identity is the first book in a two-part series by Renee Brown. It lays the identity foundation that every leadership conversation should start with but rarely does. The audio version, narrated by Renee herself, is also available for leaders who prefer to absorb on the move.

The leader the world needs from you is not the one you have been performing. It is the one you have been hiding.
