Professor Lea Waters, PhD, organisational psychologist, researcher and author of the Strength Switch.
Never have we more needed the ability to embody the qualities of 'antifragile'. Paige's work is a critical tool for leaders in all industries looking to build strength, longevity and a new level of adaptability to their teams. It also holds an important place at a personal level, where we all need new perspectives on how to navigate in uncertain times and reimagine a new world of work and life.
Skye Tipler, Director, Mkt. Communications
Dr Paige Williams has that extremely rare ability, to take big and complex ideas, 'antifragility' and not only understand them, but help you to use them in your personal and professional lives, at a time in history when we so need this. But Paige goes further, not only how to use the idea as a tool, but how to become antifragile - inspiring you to your own preparedness and potentiality. The ROBUST principles she proposes are relevant to multiple contexts in your life, at home, at work, in the best of times and the worst of times."

If our life is defined by the choices we make this might be one of the most important we choose to make: to see adversity and suffering as a place for growth and opportunity. This book explores that choice brilliantly!
Matt Church, Leadership Expert, Founder, Thought Leaders
At a time when businesses - large and small - are under more pressure than ever, Becoming Antifragile offers leaders practical principles to help us navigate the challenges and get better from it. I found Paige's work easy to read and translate into my own leadership practice, and I've used it with my team and seen the difference it's made to their energy, attitude and mindset. This is a must-read for leaders who know that there must be something beyond resilience; there is: Antifragile...and this book explains how to get there.
