Stop waiting for permission.
Axcess News looked at what more than a decade in healthcare staffing taught Chris about potential, from building a company without a playbook to leading a team through COVID, and how those lessons became You Are Capable of More.
Lessons from a demanding field.
Axcess News ran the feature in its Books section on October 13, 2026. It follows Chris through more than a decade in healthcare staffing, starting with helping build a company when there was no clear roadmap, and watching capable colleagues hold back until someone told them they were ready.
When COVID hit, the article explains, people did not need a perfect plan. They needed a leader willing to make the next decision, own it and keep everyone moving. Later, through an acquisition and the uncertainty that came with it, the job was helping people focus on what they could control.
Those experiences shaped You Are Capable of More, a book written for anyone, not only for leaders. The piece also covers the survey of more than 200 working adults behind it and the free tools at youarecapableofmore.com.
Capable people rarely lack ability. They wait to be told they are ready. The message of the book is to stop waiting for permission and start taking ownership, starting where you are and working with what you have.
