Choose Possibility

More about the book

Each of us dreams of possibility in our careers and personal lives, but our pursuit is often hindered by the Myth of the Single Choice. This myth convinces us that one major decision determines our success and that a single misstep could lead to failure, causing paralysis from fear. Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, a respected tech executive in Silicon Valley, acknowledges that her path to success has not been straightforward. She has founded three companies, including theBoardlist, which promotes women on corporate boards, and served as president of StubHub, sold for $4 billion. Along the way, she has faced failures, misfires, and unexpected challenges, learning to confront and navigate these obstacles. Drawing from her experiences and those of other leaders, Sukhinder illustrates that success stems from overcoming the fear of missing out (FOMO) rather than the fear of failure (FOF). This mindset encourages continuous action and the development of a risk-taking muscle that diminishes the weight of any single choice. In this narrative, personal success is not about making one 'correct' decision but rather about engaging with numerous choices that enhance future possibilities.
