Carlii’s Courage to Be: Small Steps for a BIG Life is exactly the kind of book you want in your corner when you’re ready to stop holding back and start living a bigger, bolder life. Written in her trademark warm and direct style, Carlii guides you through the small, practical steps that lead to big shifts in confidence, presence, and opportunity.
What makes this book so special is how approachable it feels. Carlii doesn’t preach or pile on the jargon – she shares insights you can use straight away. She reminds us that growth often looks like discomfort, that intuition is worth trusting, and that we don’t need more credentials or endless time to make things happen. We just need the courage to begin, even before we feel ready.
Along the way, she shows how to shape a personal brand that feels authentic, package your ideas in ways that cut through, and create an online presence that quietly works for you in the background. It’s clever, it’s clear, and it’s incredibly encouraging.
Reading Courage to Be feels a bit like having a pep talk from a wise and supportive friend – one who knows what it takes to stand out, attract the right opportunities, and live with intention. Carlii’s own experience as an international speaker and executive coach shines through, but what really stays with you is her generosity and belief that everyone has the potential to step into a bigger version of themselves.
This isn’t a book you’ll finish and pop on the shelf to gather dust. It’s one you’ll dip back into whenever you need a nudge, a boost of courage, or a reminder that your moment really is now.
