This isn’t a book about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming more aware of who you already are, and who you could become if you stopped avoiding the work in front of you.
Most people think bravery looks dramatic. But in everyday life, bravery is often much quieter.
It’s stating the truth you’d softened to keep the peace. Having the difficult conversation you keep avoiding. Letting go of the pattern that is no longer serving you. Sharon Hartley wrote BRAVE because she believes organisational change begins with personal change. Before you can improve a team or a culture, you have to look honestly at yourself first. Drawing on decades of experience in leadership, operational improvement and coaching, as well as her own deeply personal reflections, BRAVE offers practical tools to help you think more clearly, act more honestly, and lead with greater alignment.
A practical framework for recognising patterns and creating change
The book is built around a reflective framework designed to help you recognise avoidance, confront it honestly, and create meaningful change through small everyday actions.
Understand what’s really driving you
Recognise the patterns, habits and avoidance that shape your behaviour.
Build confidence through action
Bravery is not about confidence. It’s about taking action with uncertainty.

Lead and live with greater alignment
Make decisions that reflect who you truly want to be, not just what feels safest.
Create real change that lasts

Whether you’re navigating change in leadership, work, relationships, or within yourself, BRAVE is your practical guide for the journey

The ideas in BRAVE also shape how enapay works
The avoidance patterns we see in organisations also show up in personal life. BRAVE explores both, because the courage it takes to look honestly at a struggling team is often the same courage it takes to look honestly at yourself. The mirror comes before the method.
Writing BRAVE helped Sharon articulate what she’d always believed: meaningful change rarely begins with a process. It begins with awareness, honesty and a willingness to do something different.
