What if the experiences that tested you most became the foundation for how you lead?
Built From Broken: How Purpose and Perseverance Shape Powerful Leaders explores what it means to lead, grow, and move forward when life and leadership do not unfold according to plan.
Drawing from her own journey through setbacks, uncertainty, rebuilding, and transformation, Dr. Clorinda V. Sanders connects personal experience with practical leadership insight. She examines how purpose, perseverance, self-awareness, resilience, and intentional growth can shape the way leaders respond to challenges, recognize potential, and create meaningful impact.
This is not a book about becoming a perfect leader. It is about becoming a more purposeful one.
Through reflection, leadership lessons, and practical application, Built From Broken challenges readers to examine what has shaped them, rethink what may have once seemed like a limitation, and use those experiences to lead with greater clarity and intention.
Whether you are an emerging leader, an experienced professional, an entrepreneur, an educator, or simply navigating your next season of growth, this book offers a reminder that powerful leadership is not defined by an obstacle-free journey. It is shaped by what you learn, how you grow, and what you choose to build from what you have experienced.
Your story does not disqualify you from leadership. It may be part of what prepared you for it.
