“After interviewing more than 10,000 employees as the Undercover Millennial, I’ve learned that retention isn’t about ping-pong tables or bigger paychecks. It’s about whether people believe someone actually sees them. Tom Murray’s How You Show Up gets at the root of that truth: belief drives behavior, and behavior is what employees are responding to every single day, whether we realize it or not. The leaders who build the kind of culture people never want to leave aren’t the ones with the best perks; they’re the ones who’ve done the internal reflection work this book asks of you. If you want to understand why your best people stay or walk, start by evaluating how you show up.”

“I lost my mom to hate, and I had every reason to let that loss define who I became, but I chose forgiveness instead, and that response, not my circumstances, has shaped every day since. Tom Murray’s How You Show Up speaks directly to that truth: what we believe is possible for ourselves and for other people determines how we respond when life gives us every reason to give up. Resilience isn’t something that just happens to you; it’s something you build through belief, one decision at a time, and this book gives you a real framework for doing that work. If you want to lead with love instead of fear, this book will show you how to start.”

“I learned in a Texas prison cell that we can all be like a coffee bean dropped in boiling water—the heat and pressure don’t have to change us; rather, we can change the water instead. My life is living proof of the message Tom Murray shares in How You Show Up. Real transformation doesn’t wait for your circumstances to improve; it starts with the story you choose to believe about yourself—one thought at a time.

“Back in the mid-80s, when I told my college professors that I wanted to pursue sports broadcasting, a male-dominated profession, they told me I was nuts. That didn’t stop me because I never considered that I couldn’t. I believed. To this day, I maintain that if you don’t believe you belong in the room, why should anyone else? That’s why Tom Murray’s message resonates so deeply with me. It’s my story! It’s how our mindset shapes our actions, and our actions shape our future. As Murray explains, success isn’t built in the spotlight. It’s built through the beliefs we hold and the reps we put in when no one is watching. That’s exactly what How You Show Up is about. It’s an inspiring reminder that lasting success begins long before anyone notices.”
