Three Colors, Twelve Notes

The Alchemy of Curiosity, Creativity, and Human-Centered Leadership

Catherine Harrison

Do you want to say “yes” to life more often?

Three Colors, Twelve Notes is a memoir and a guidebook for the curious and those who want to learn how to go for it. Catherine Harrison shares personal stories as an artist, business leader, and regular human to show us why trying new things should be a lifelong pursuit. She also invites the reader to participate in reflections of their own.

Three Colors, Twelve Notes shows us how every interaction is an opportunity to gather more insight and how every experience is a moment to learn. By noticing and reflecting on our habits, behaviors, patterns, and triggers, we can all connect the dots and learn to leverage curiosity and expand our awareness. Getting comfortable with oneself is complicated, and sometimes messy, but it enables meaningful growth, creativity, and tangible results in both life and career, for ourselves and those around us.

With a welcoming and warm approach, Three Colors, Twelve Notes encourages readers to find the best in themselves, and reconnect to their inner confidence and creativity.
