The Leadership Labyrinth is not a roadmap to the corner office - it’s a compass for women navigating the winding journey of leadership. This journey is not a neat ladder of promotions and accolades, but rather a labyrinth of bold choices, resilience, and reinvention.
Through powerful storytelling and practical exercises, Jade offers readers more than reflection. She equips them with tools to pause, recenter, and move forward with intention. Her signature “Endeavors” illuminate the challenges women in the C-suite from global brands like Rare Beauty, JP Morgan Chase, and ESPN, have faced, including the weight of being “the only” in the room, the tension of balancing ambition with family, and the sting of being underestimated.
Whether you are building a career, navigating a pivot, raising a family, or finding your place in spaces not built for you, this book affirms that you deserve a seat at the table. Your path, however winding, is not a detour. It is the way.
The Leadership Labyrinth is a companion for every season of leadership: climbing, resting, rebuilding, or rising again. It is both permission and provocation to lead with a full heart, to reimagine the rooms we enter, and to leave a legacy not just in titles, but in the lives we influence and touch.

“Jade's wonderful stories and profiles reflect the lessons I've learned from studying women leaders: that women's leadership journeys unfold like spirals rather than straight lines, and that women can have maximum impact when they articulate what is distinctive about them.” Sally Helgesen, author of How Women Rise, Rising Together
“Part pep talk, part playbook, this is the real-talk guide every woman needs to navigate the dizzying climb up the ladder.”
