Mimi’s Books

Mimi’s first book, Softening The Edge was the world’s first book to fuse storytelling and corporate experience to highlight the 30 year global empathy deficit, and its tragic impact on our people and our workplaces. It instantly became a bestseller worldwide.

“Softening The Edge bravely breaks the corporate conversation, about our worryingly low empathy levels, wide open.”

A sell-out in key markets, Softening The Edge takes inspiration from some of the world’s most powerful opinion leaders – President Barack Obama, Jacinda Ardern, Oprah Winfrey – and creates a compelling case for a global organisational empathy intervention. This leadership book, embedded within the tumultuous true story of a business turnaround, is equal parts inspiration, business lesson and personal story.

Empathy at Work

Launching in India in the Summer of 2024, Empathy At Work, is an edited and updated second edition of Mimi's bestseller Softening The Edge, created especially for India. Looking at the power of empathy as an organisational skillset to turn around the $8.8 Trillion loss in productivity world wide, Empathy At Work will inspire and challenge leaders in equal measure.

The Connection Prescription

Mimi's second book to launch globally looks at empathy and belonging as the keys to longevity. In life, in business and in health. Unpacking unique concepts from the fields of leadership, business and relationships, this book is set to reframe the criticality of maintaining our human connections - and the true damage of our loneliness epidemic - forever. Launching in November 2024.

"Humans are wired to connect, and this connection drives our health, our careers and our marriages. Yet, we have allowed our Empathy Deficit to grow 48% over the last 3 decades. We are living in a human crisis, seeing our highest-ever levels of racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, religious discrimination, whilst watching a mental health collapse unfold. 400,000 million people are depressed, the second biggest killer of our youth is suicide and 52% of people want to resign - is our social disconnection the issue? Find out in the Connection Prescription."
