ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP LABYRINTH
The Leadership Labyrinth is not a roadmap to the corner office—it’s a compass for women navigating the winding journey of leadership. This journey is not a neat ladder of promotions and accolades, but rather a labyrinth of bold choices, resilience, and reinvention.
Through powerful storytelling and practical exercises, Jade offers more than reflection. She equips women with tools to pause, recenter, and move forward with intention. Her signature “Endeavors” illuminate the challenges women in the C-suite from global brands like Rare Beauty, JP Morgan Chase, and ESPN, have faced, including the weight of being “the only” in the room, the tension of balancing ambition with family, and the sting of being underestimated.
Whether you are building a career, navigating a pivot, raising a family, or finding your place in spaces not built for you, this book affirms that you deserve a seat at the table. Your path, however winding, is not a detour. It is the way.
The Leadership Labyrinth is a companion for every season of leadership: climbing, resting, rebuilding, or rising again. It is both permission and provocation to lead with a full heart, to reimagine the rooms we enter, and to leave a legacy not just in titles, but in the lives we influence and touch.
Jade Floyd has elevated women in leadership across Fortune 500 brands, investment firms, professional sports teams and global philanthropies. Previously, Jade spent nearly a decade as Vice President of Communications at the Case Foundation and Revolution Venture Capital, where she worked to elevate grantees and portfolio companies who were changing the world. Jade is an adjunct professor at George Washington University where she teaches on Social Impact Communications. Jade is a recipient of the PR News People of the Year, the Washington Business Journal s “40 Under 40” and Huffington Post “IGNITEGood Millennial Impact Challenge Award”.
