Synopsis

You built the life you thought you were supposed to want: career wins, titles, recognition. On paper, it looked like success. But deep down, something felt off. You began asking questions you couldn’t ignore: Is this really it? Why doesn’t it feel like me anymore? What if I built the wrong life entirely?

In Whose Ladder Is This?, former global executive and creative leader Kevin Simcock shares a raw, honest account of what happens when achievement no longer aligns with identity. After building billion-dollar brands and leading teams across continents, Kevin found himself laid off at fifty, disconnected from his former self and unsure of what was next. That loss cracked open something deeper, the need to redefine success and realign with what truly matters.

Part memoir, part guidebook, this is not a story of burnout or breakdown. It’s a story of awakening. Through vulnerable storytelling, insight-rich reflection, and hard-won clarity, Kevin walks you through the messy but necessary process of letting go of who you thought you had to be, so you can step into the version of yourself that was waiting all along.
If you’re a high-functioning achiever at a turning point, wondering what comes after the climb, this book will help you reconnect with your inner truth, trust your next chapter, and build a life that actually feels like yours.
