Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Purpose Ignited
Alise Cortez PhD · 2020
72/100
👍 Worth It
Cortez builds a clear two-part framework that actually does what most leadership books only promise — it moves from personal transformation to team and organizational application in a structured, actionable way. Real stories from her radio show guests keep the framework grounded. The corporate focus narrows the audience, and the mainstream critical record is thin, but within leadership and organizational development circles this is a credible, useful book.
