Anchored, Aligned, Accountable

Whether an ill-timed comment you made at work or a fleeting look you gave your loved one, we all have moments we wish we could do over. These moments can cause real, lasting damage and they happen when we are misaligned with who we aspire to be. In this book, Aiko Bethea introduces the Anchored-Aligned Accountable framework to show you how to live every moment intentionally: Transformation requires that we are anchored in our values, our intention and impact are aligned, and we are accountable to ourselves and others. Aiko Bethea has spent her life helping others envision and pursue their aspirational selves and empowering them to become the leaders they want to be, both in life and at work. Guiding you through real-life scenarios and first-hand experiences from her own career, Aiko shows you how to rethink the moments when you mess up as ones that offer you a choice. You can shrink away, make a half-hearted apology and refuse to enact change in your approaches, or you can apply a new framework and transform your mindset and quality of life. With a warm, inviting and witty voice, Anchored Aligned Accountable teaches you how to intentionally lean into your fears and learn from your mistakes, instead of losing your connections with others. You’ll learn to embrace connection over competition, empathy over pity and vulnerability over ego, and work towards becoming the version of yourself you can truly admire.
