WHAT IF YOUR SUCCESS IS STANDING IN THE WAY OF WHAT’S NEXT?
You’ve accomplished a great deal. Along the way, you’ve developed beliefs about who you are, what you do best, and how far you can go. What if some of those beliefs are now keeping you from what comes next?
PRE-ORDER BEYOND POSSIBLE
WHO COULD YOU BECOME IF YOU WEREN’T STANDING IN YOUR OWN WAY?
Long before we decide what to pursue, we begin learning what to expect. Our families, experiences, and the people around us shape our beliefs about who we are and what we can become.
Success doesn’t automatically make us question those beliefs. Sometimes we keep doing what we know, pursuing what we’ve already proven we can achieve.
In Beyond Possible, Curtis Ray Hill draws from his father’s journey from the cotton fields of Arkansas to Chicago, his own transformation, and twenty years in education to explore how those beliefs take hold and how we can begin changing them.
Because what you believe about people influences the opportunities you give them, the expectations you set, and the strengths you notice. That includes what you believe about yourself.

Use the expectations you set, the feedback you give, and the opportunities you offer to help others see more in themselves.
I HAD TO QUESTION WHO I THOUGHT I COULD BECOME.
My story didn’t start on a stage. I grew up on Chicago’s South Side. I was involved in a gang, became a well-known drug dealer, and barely graduated from high school with a 1.6 GPA.
I raised a family, started businesses, experienced failures, and found my way into education. Along the way, I earned four degrees and became an award-winning educator.
The young man who struggled in school became the teacher helping students discover what they could do.
Those experiences still shape my work with leaders today. I know what it means to be underestimated. I also know how much can change when we begin seeing ourselves and one another differently. That’s why possibility is personal to me.
