The memoir
A Memoir of Letting Go, Leaping and Leading All the Way
Across six parts, the memoir moves from The Making and Becoming into The Climb, At The Helm, The Big Leap, and The Rebuild: personal formation, executive ascent, departure, and beginning again.
Inside the memoir
Cordless Bungee Jumping opens as a memoir of formation, becoming, executive ascent, leadership pressure, the leap away from certainty, and the work of rebuilding after the leap.
The six-part arc gives readers a narrative spine rather than a summary: origins, identity, climb, command, departure, and rebuild, held in the warm wine, gold, and cream atmosphere of the Book page.
From memoir to model
Cordless Bungee Jumping remains a memoir first: Clara's life on the page before it becomes language for leadership.
The Cordless Leadership Model is allowed to enter here only as an echo from the story. Each capacity below is tied to one verified moment in the manuscript, then left with the intimacy of the book.
In the telecoms leap, Clara is new to the language of the industry, so she writes what she does not know and keeps pulling the room back to the customer.
Not knowing forced me to ask better questions.
The decision to leave British American Tobacco after twenty-one years is not staged as drama. It is certainty held quietly while a whole professional identity shifts.
I walked out without bargaining, and I did not keep any doors open behind me.
In the Jah Prayzah office moment, the new telecoms role does not require Clara to shrink. It asks her to carry work seriously without performing seriousness.
I am serious about work. I am not overly serious about myself.
On the factory floor before her farewell, trust shows itself outside titles and protocols. The team wants a goodbye that happens person to person.
Face to face. Shoulder to shoulder.
In early fieldwork, there is no perfect map for the township routes. Clara and Belinda follow public transport, ask shop by shop, and move with what they have.
Making progress without perfect information.
These are not abstract principles. They are traces: a question asked in a new industry, a letter sent at the edge of certainty, a room entered without shrinking, a farewell held shoulder to shoulder, and progress made before the map was complete.
