Turning Up: Taking Your SELF to Work (Paperback or Softback)

What if the most radical thing you could do today was simply to turn up—as yourself?

In a world obsessed with performance, perfection, and personal branding, Turning Up is a call to something deeper: presence, purpose, and connection. This book invites you to rediscover your place in the human system - not as a lone actor, but as a vital part of a living, breathing network. It’s not about being the best. It’s about being real. And being the difference.

This is our moment to turn up and be the difference: one moment, one choice, one connection at a time.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why “just be yourself” is harder—and more powerful—than it sounds
• How to move from self-doubt and comparison to genuine self-awareness and self-acceptance
• Practical exercises and thought experiments to help you see yourself (and others) more clearly
• How to make a positive difference - one moment, one choice, one connection at a time

Many of us feel unseen, disconnected, and exhausted by the pressure to be someone we’re not. Despite endless talk of “authenticity” and “purpose,” the modern workplace often leaves us longing for real connection, meaning, and the freedom to be ourselves.

Turning Up: Taking Your SELF to Work is your invitation to break the mould. Ian Harrison, co-author of The Enabling Manager, skilfully guides the reader drawing on an eclectic range of ideas from philosophy, religion and science, and decades of experience helping leaders and teams thrive. He exposes the myths that keep us stuck and offers a practical, compassionate roadmap for showing up as your true self at work and beyond.
