What to expect
Learn how to take risks, thrive and build your dream career.
‘Sukhinder is one of Silicon Valley’s most well-respected leaders. Her unique style of authenticity, optimism and hustle will help anyone unlock their career potential’ – Eric Schmidt, former chairman & CEO, Google
Each one of us dreams of possibility – in our careers and in our personal lives. But our pursuit of possibility is hamstrung by ‘The Myth of the Single Choice’ that has led us to believe that one large choice stands between us and success, and that a single failure may topple us should we choose ‘wrongly’. We let fear trump possibility: we become paralyzed.
Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is one of the most well-respected leaders in Silicon Valley, but her path to success has been far from linear. While she has started three companies including theBoardlist, and has served as president of StubHub, she’s also encountered failed choices, misfires, and all other types of pitfalls that she had to learn how to overcome and incorporate into her new path forward.
Drawing on her own experience and those of other leaders, Sukhinder shows that when people thrive, it’s because their fear of missing out on an opportunity overtakes their fear of failure, and compels them to take action. Better yet, they keep acting, building a fundamental risk-taking muscle that under weighs the importance of any single choice in favour of continually ‘choosing’. Choose Possibility is a thrilling and insightful new way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success.
‘An excellent guide to help anyone learn how to take risks in their own careers and thrive’ – Kai-Fu Lee, chairman & CEO, Sinovation Ventures and author of bestseller AI Superpowers

Choose Possibility presents a new way of looking at - and embracing - risk and possibility, and there’s not a better person to deliver this unique perspective and practical advice than Sukhinder. She’s an extraordinary entrepreneur and businesswoman, and the ideas she presents in this book have the potential to make a tremendous difference in anyone’s career or life.

We often see that in high performing organisations, subject matter expertise and numerical intelligence get commoditised. Naturally, then the question becomes how do aspiring leaders in such organisations differentiate themselves. Showing courage and taking smart risks are often underrated as critical leadership traits; all aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs must embrace these traits, and help others around them increase their ability to embrace risk proactively and succeed. Choose Possibility shows you how to do just that.
Kalyan Krisnamurthy, CEO Flipkart

A fresh and relevant voice on the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Breaking down what risk is and isn't, Sukhinder offers valuable insight for founders and employees, seen through the lens of someone who has been there.
Scott Galloway, business professor and bestselling author
-
With a combination of a clarity and candor, Sukhinder offers up clear frameworks to help make risk-taking an understandable and repeatable process for anyone looking to achieve more. This unique blend of analysis and authenticity is what’s made her equally successful in starting and building companies over the last 20+ years that I’ve known her.
Theresia Gouw, veteran venture capitalist & co-founder Acrew Capital, Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women and 9x member of Forbes Midas List
