This book is a powerful reflection of those values--an inspiring guide that empowers young people to step into leadership with confidence and purpose.

Change Your Game shows young people how to take control of their lives and makes the concept of leadership feel personal, possible, and worthy of their time.

This concept alone could revolutionize a generation of young leaders by teaching them how to listen and speak with uniting and empowering affirmation and acceptance.
