""Claire Brumby's book is for anyone wanting that bit of magic back in their lives and who is fed up of settling for less. Her framework combines mindset and action, helping you to develop self-trust and to make lasting changes. She expertly blends evidence-based approaches with her own practical experience, making this book not just a good read but a practical companion to change. If you're looking for some sparkle and to get yourself into gear, get your copy."" * Ruth Kuzdi MCC, coaching psychologist and CEO and Founder of Optimus Coach Academy * ""This isn't a ""fix yourself"" book and thank goodness for that. It's a call back to yourself to remind you who you really are. Claire Brumby writes with clarity, courage and deep respect for readers. She doesn't shout, posture or try to impress. She meets you where you are, names what so many of us feel but rarely dare to say out loud and gently nudges us back into our own power. If you're tired of leadership being loud, patriarchal, performative or disconnected, this book will feel like a breath of fresh air. It's intuitive, practical and, most importantly, deeply human"" * Lea Turner, Founder of The HoLT * ""Much of what we are taught about leadership no longer works in practice. The world has changed, and so must we. This is where Forget Normal - I Want Magic comes in. It encourages us to stop defaulting to what's expected and take responsibility for the choices we make and the way they show up. Clear, practical and grounded in real thinking and lived experience, it supports readers to step into their personal power and move forward with intention. This is more than a book - it's a call to think and lead differently."" * Karen Williams, Librotas Book Mentor * ""Claire Brumby's book gave me something I didn't know I needed: permission to change the things I can. It meets you where you are - exhausted, stretched thin, questioning everything, and helps you find your way forward with clarity and compassion"" * Barbara Bray MBE, Director, Alo Solutions *
