Brown is known for her decades of retail industry experience, including her transformative, nine-year tenure at the helm of retail furniture company Tipperary Sales, where she was the first woman to serve as CEO. She spearheaded remarkable revenue growth and company expansion, as Tipperary Sales is considered one of the most successful retail furniture companies in the U.S. today. Brown now dedicates her expertise to coaching business leaders – those already in the C-suite or aspiring to grow there – and in It’s On You, she guides readers on a stair-step journey toward building self-awareness, finding their authentic selves, and experiencing rewarding results.

“With this book, I wanted to provide readers with the type of practical frameworks and actionable strategies that I share with my executive coaching clients,” said Brown. “Leadership is about continuous growth and inspiring others to achieve their full potential. My hope is that readers will find the tools they need to reach their next level of success and fulfillment.”

Drawing from her proprietary coaching approach centered on self-awareness and digging within oneself to elicit the behavior that drives results, It’s On You stands out in the crowded self-improvement market by focusing on navigating a path to ultimate success that doesn’t always feel clear or easy. As Frances X. Frei, Ph.D., Professor, at Harvard Business School said, “ It’s On You is your light at the end of the tunnel. If you are questioning what’s next for you as a leader, this deeply practical guide will lead you to identify your potential and pinpoint how to focus your efforts, so you can reach that higher gear of ultimate fulfillment and success.”

It’s On You is available to order today, February 4, 2025, on Amazon. To learn more, please visit its-on-you.com.
