What happens when a leader who feels insecure is called to do something extraordinary? Diary of An Insecure CEO is Kimberly Williams’ honest and compelling account of stepping into executive leadership while privately battling imposter syndrome, doubt, and the weight of expectation. When she inherited a 25-year-old organization facing a $500,000 deficit and a 40 percent graduation rate, she didn’t feel fearless. She felt unqualified.

​

But instead of allowing insecurity to paralyze her, she allowed it to refine her.

Through personal journal-style reflections and practical leadership lessons, Kimberly shares how she transformed organizational culture, raised more than $50 million to fight poverty and homelessness, completed a successful capital campaign, and led her organization to measurable, sustainable impact.

​

This is not a book about pretending to be confident. It is a book about leading faithfully when confidence feels fragile. Diary of An Insecure CEO offers practical tools for nonprofit leaders, first-time executives, and change agents who want to:

​

• Lead through self-doubt without losing authority

• Navigate board dynamics and financial pressure

• Build culture while raising significant funding

• Transform crisis into clarity

• Develop resilience rooted in faith and discipline

​

If you’ve ever questioned whether you were enough for the assignment in front of you, this book will remind you that insecurity does not disqualify you. It can develop you.
