  • It is such a great read. One line that resonated with me is: 'If they control your emotions, they control you.' That is so powerful and something I know I need to constantly keep in mind.

"With me being FAR from and advid reader, this was a pleasant and informative read. The breakdown of normal everyday situations into life lessons you can carry with you daily. The concerns and challenges she faced personally in different aspects of life,especially being such an accomplished businesswoman and mother, she expressed and broke it down where I think anyone can relate. It definitely coaches you on how to move forward and stop SETTLING! I do have one small "disagreement". She stated that "the motivation didnt come before the action". Well I am positive motivation can come from reading this book!"

"Raised Right: What Our Kids Already Know About Winning at Work is more than a book about leadership—it is a powerful reminder that many of the qualities that make us successful begin at home. Through lessons about character, accountability, resilience, compassion, and perseverance, Kianna Lane beautifully connects the values we teach our children with the principles that help us become better leaders. This book was especially meaningful to me because Kianna is secretly a mentor of mine. I had the privilege of experiencing her leadership personally, and the wisdom, strength, and authenticity reflected in these pages are the same qualities she shared with those fortunate enough to learn from her. Kianna, I dedicate this review to you with sincere gratitude. Thank you for believing in me, guiding me, and leaving an imprint on both my professional journey and my life. Seeing you share your wisdom through this book makes me incredibly proud. Your words will now encourage countless others, just as your mentorship encouraged me. Congratulations, Kianna, on this beautiful achievement. Your lessons continue to inspire—and your legacy of leadership continues to grow."

"I didn't expect to see so much of myself in Raised Right. There were moments I smiled, moments I laughed, and yes—a few times I threw the book across the room because something hit a little too close to home! LOL. Kianna has a way of taking the lessons, correction, mistakes, and experiences of our upbringing and showing us how they shaped who we are and prepared us to lead, often before we even knew it. What I appreciated most is that this isn't about a title or promotion. It invites you to recognize what's already in you—the lessons, values, and abilities you've carried all along. A good read, and right on time."

'The kitchen table and the conference room are teaching the same lessons.'

— Raised Right

'You can't manufacture a reputation. It's built. Through a series of interactions. Every one a little better than the last.'

— Raised Right

'I've never, not once, been ready for anything. I simply show up, and get ready.'

— Kianna Lane

Raised Right is not a leadership book you read from a distance. It is a book you live inside.

Twenty-three lessons drawn from the kitchen table, the wrestling mat, the school parking lot, and the conference room - lessons that shaped two boys and one career, and that will change how you lead, how you parent, and how you show up when it counts.

This is the book that proves the best leaders weren't made in a boardroom. They were raised.

Character

You don't build it in a boardroom. You build it in the moments nobody is watching. Raised Right is proof.

Accountability

Own it before someone else does. The lesson Miles and Makai learned at home is the same one every leader needs at work.

Resilience

Quitting when it's hard teaches you to quit when it's hard. Staying teaches you everything else.

Leadership

The steadiest person in the room has the most power. These 23 lessons show you how to be that person.

The lessons were never just for them.

Every phrase in this book was said out loud first. In a car. In a hallway. At a kitchen table at 7AM before school. What started as parenting became a philosophy. What became a philosophy became a career. And what became a career is now a book that proves the kitchen table and the conference room have always been teaching the same things.
