Praise for STILL STANDING "The performance of every business leader hinges on their ability to respond quickly and clearly. Still Standing gives leaders the ability to adapt by using their most underutilized asset: tough conversations."
--DAN MARTELL, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Buy Back Your Time "Still Standing was written with entrepreneurs and leaders in mind. A practical resource, this book gives leaders the tools to thrive and to lean into the tough conversations that unlock our greatness."
--GIOVANNI MARSICO, three-time Emmy-winning producer and Founder and CEO at Archangel "Still Standing is needed at a time when business leaders, especially founders, are navigating tough times. Being a founder is a rollercoaster ride, and in the most difficult times, there are few resources available. This book is genuine, uplifting, but most of all, empowering to those who need more real talk in their lives."
--BEDY YANG, Managing Partner at 500 Global "This book is an important contribution to our innovation ecosystem. Cherry Rose Tan gives business leaders the actionable frameworks to build their resilience, so they can thrive in the workplace for years to come."
--BRICE SCHESCHUK, Managing Partner at Globalive Capital and Co-Founder and CFO at WIND Mobile "Having spent over 20 years as an entrepreneur, operator, and now VC, I can attest to the critical importance of workplace mental health, and yet how often this is overlooked or brushed aside. Still Standing is an honest and compassionate look at the conversations founders and leaders need to have today to ensure long-term health and vitality."
--JANET BANNISTER, Founder and Managing Partner at Staircase Ventures
