Underneath The Title: Conversations with leaders navigating leadership identity, growth, and the transition after exit
Underneath The Title is for leaders who are navigating pivotal moments of uncertainty in leadership identity, transitions, growth and building what's next after a career or business exit. The founders, executives, and senior leaders who show up here aren't talking about what worked. They're talking about what it actually costs to stay clear, trust your own judgment, and hold your internal ground when everything around you is shifting.
After nearly three decades as a global leader, building Fortune 500 brands and mentoring senior leaders, I realized most leaders struggle quietly inside with the weight of high-stakes decisions and the identity loss after exiting a career or business. I know this first hand because I was one of those leaders.
What you'll find here is what I call self-authority in motion. The internal struggles leaders face when options are endless, the pressure is real, and no one else can make the call for them.
If you feel like the hardest part of where you are right now isn't the strategy, it's managing the inner uncertainty while moving through it, you're in the right place.

Available on Amazon Kindle, paperback and hardcover HERE
In Whose Ladder Is This?, former global executive and creative strategist Kevin Simcock shares a raw, honest account of what happens when achievement no longer aligns with identity. After building billion-dollar brands and leading teams across continents, Kevin found himself furloughed at fifty, disconnected from his former self and unsure of what was next. That loss cracked open something deeper, the need to redefine success and realign with what truly matters.
Part memoir, part guidebook, this is not a story of burnout or breakdown. It’s a story of awakening. Through vulnerable storytelling, insight-rich reflection, and hard-won clarity, Kevin walks you through the messy but necessary process of letting go of who you thought you had to be, so you can step into the version of yourself that was waiting all along.
If you’re a successful business owner or career professional at a turning point, wondering what comes after the climb, this book will help you reconnect with your inner truth, trust your next chapter, and build a life that actually feels like yours.
