DDS is a business and cultural impact maker. They help organizations to transform through an extremely rare blend of emotional intelligence and practical business acumen. DDS's people-driven models are easy to digest, yet help solve complex challenges facing the global organizations of today. This book is a must-read for all business leaders looking to create the conditions for their people-and their business-to be successful. Brandon Friesen, CEO at Just Global As a fifty-eight-year-old CEO, to have someone you just met look past your executive demeanor and gently challenge you to be authentic is a disruptive experience. To have it lead to a series of personal epiphanies that are now transforming my career is a revelation. My work with DDS could best be captured in the quote from their new book, You Can Be Yourself Here, by an early colleague, Paul Smith, when he said, 'I see you.' DDS has developed insights and data that allowed a late-career CEO like me to rediscover what it means to be authentic to myself and to embrace my responsibility to support an environment of safety and belonging for everyone. While working with DDS as an executive coach is an amazing way to get the benefit of their wisdom, reading You Can Be Yourself Here is the next best thing. I strongly recommend you make this the next book you read. Courtney Buechert, CEO at Eleven Inc. In our ten-year working relationship, DDS has consistently made me smarter. Their empathy and intelligence has helped me see beyond my biases, grow as a leader, and in truth, be a better human being. This is an important and timely book, elegantly capturing critical insights from DDS's personal and professional journey. It should be an essential read for all business executives, and anyone who just wants to learn. Joshua Spanier, Vice President of Marketing at Google DDS has a magical way of looking at all perspectives. They have used their unique vantage point to create this incredible book, which is based on their own experiences and the powerful work they've done with clients. Read this book-and learn from one of the best on the topic of belonging and inclusion. Jennifer Remling, Global Chief People Officer at WPP
