If you want to be a powerful speaker, a sought-after influencer, and confident leader, this book will give you the confidence and know-how to do so!
I know you hide who you are and you often bury what you truly believe.
I also know you're ready to be your true self and shine for all the world to see. You are ready to unleash that hidden X factor that will propel you to be an influential speaker and leader who positively impacts others.
Davide Di Giorgio knows what it’s like to hide your true identity. He spent years repressing the truth that he was gay. But one day he found the courage not only to own his truth, but also to build a life for himself with a wonderful husband.
Davide also knows what it’s like to have second thoughts and doubts. He’s overcome those doubts, embraced his talents, and become one of the world’s foremost speaking and leadership experts. For more than a quarter of a century, he has been helping high achievers like you to become visionary leaders, speakers, and influencers.
Now, in Being Unapologetic, Davide shares a lifetime of experiences and the tools he offers his clients so they can embrace their identities, develop their gifts, and become the leaders the world needs. Joined by eighteen influencers who share their own stories of living unapologetically, Davide presents a goldmine of wisdom, hope, courage, and confidence for his readers.
And best of all, once you learn to be unapologetic, you’ll never look back!
In this book, through powerful stories, lessons, and experiential exercises you will learn how to:* Discover your purpose
* Develop your influential confidence, and leadership skills
* Communicate in a way that moves your audiences and followers into inspired action
* Speak your truth to empower others
* Deliver vision instead of value, and why that is far more powerful

About the authors
Davide Di Giorgio is the number one international best-selling author of “Being UNapologetic”, a keynote and TEDx speaker, Comparanoia™ expert, and a speaking and confidence consultant for influencers and celebrities. He is a writer for The Good Men Project, Thought Catalog, Thrive Global, and Success Profiles Magazine. His philanthropic endeavor, Project Being UNapologetic dares to tackle bullying and build confidence and self-esteem while funding dream projects for high school performing arts students.
Christine Rosas considers herself an adventurous spirit making the best out of living in a control freak’s body.
Christine has figured out how to successfully balance her paradoxical life by honoring the many varied parts of herself. This includes the heart-centered, angelic well-wisher, as well as the truth telling, and sometimes spastic, ranting b*tch. However, it wasn’t a clear path to get here.
In her early 20s, she became a paralegal because of John Grisham’s intense interpretation of the legal world. She then became a graphic designer because a co-worker at the corporate law firm insisted Christine shouldn’t end up like her. Even in her 30s, experiencing her childhood dream job of being a stay at home mom, something didn’t feel quite right.
It wasn’t until Christine gave herself the quiet space to listen inward to her heartfelt desires, as well as her paralyzing fears, that she realized her calling: to lead EXTRAordinary women transform daydreams into reality with simple techniques that take as little as 10 minutes a day. Just as she’s done.
Christine could end by telling you where she’s joyfully living, but that’s already changed fourteen times in twenty years over the span of three continents… and is in the midst of changing again, as of the writing of this bio. She instead invites you to experience the profound grace of trusting your inner voice (irrespective of your location or situation) by visiting www.thesensitiveedge.com.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseDavide has brought his years of experience and wisdom into a collection of stories that succinctly provide frames of reference and understanding for many life lessons.
From describing how he takes his clients through writing their own “Everyday Extraordinary Storytelling Book” to spotlighting people who are changing the world at a grassroots level, Davide entertains, entices, challenges and convinces you to be a better “You”.
I have met Davide at events in San Diego and I did not hesitate to buy his book as soon as it was released. I did it because I know him to be a talented man, a man of substance, a man with a good heart.
My faith was confirmed as I dove in and I was rewarded with his excellent writing, his ability to share what he’s learned through the years and the fun of his personality bursting from the pages!
Don’t hesitate to join me in reading and learning from Davide!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI read Being UNapolgetic and fell in love with Davide Di Giorgio. He helps people speak their truth and recounts his journey from tragedy to triumph. I’m celebrating more things in my life now because Di Giorgio talks about the importance of celebration. He says that nobody cares about your story. It may alienate your audience unless you are crystal clear about the story’s purpose and the best stories are the ones that inspire others. Di Giorgio’s anecdotes are wrappers for deeper truths. At the end of every chapter an UNapologetic Influencer shares their tips and their journey. It’s a window into about how people take a stand in their own lives. Get this book for all your friends and family. I would recommend Being Unapologetic to anyone who wants to transform their life.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseRight away this sentence grabbed me.
"The truth is that you aren’t here on this earth to discover your purpose. You arrived with purpose, and if you pay attention to the moments in your life when you acted from who you truly are, you’ll recognize that purpose."
Learning to let go of fear and be unapologetically you requires determination, insight and humor, if you're really going to thrive through the process. I'm halfway through this book and thoroughly enjoying it, relating to it and already making a list of who I want to buy copies for. With charm and humor and unequivocal vulnerability this is a book for young people to grow up with. Wish I'd had one when I was in highschool!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseBeing unapologetic takes courage … and so does writing a book that helps people live their lives authentically. Davide’s book takes years of experience — both his own and those of others — and boils the knowledge gained into bite-sized, actionable pieces.
I especially enjoyed reading the collection of stories from others who are living their lives unapologetically. Readers should be able to find at least one person they relate to!
This is a book of life lessons that help readers get more out of life by being more alive.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFrom the very first chapter, I got at least five great ideas of what I could incorporate in my next presentation. I had a smile on my face throughout and could hear Davide’s great sense of humor. (Thank you, Davide, for delivering an unboring book!) The principles taught are simple and make so much sense, yet they are very powerful! Being Unapologetic is not only a book, it’s a movement in which Davide teaches us how to be visionary leaders and speakers. Read it!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI absolutely LOVE Davide Di Giorgio's new book "Being Unapologetic: Empowering You to Become an Influential Speaker and Visionary Leader" and how the chapters are layed out each one based on short stories from various speakers, authers and other influencers giving you tips and strategies to become the leader you were meant to be. Some of the chapters also have action items for you to complete so you can get clear on your purpose and vision. I highly recommend getting this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am so thankful to see Davide speak in person recently, and then find out about this book. As a dancer, I resonate with how he teaches and the things that he talks about. As I got more into his book, it's as if he is speaking to my experiences directly, of thinking that playing small and being apologetic for who I am is the "noble" and "humble" thing to do. I am so encouraged by this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseBEING UNAPOLOGETIC shows how doing your way can bring about immense success and self-fulfillment. This book isn't shy on telling how cruel life can be and how the author, Davide Di Giorgio, turned that pain and fear into success by being himself with no reservations. For anyone who has experienced bullying in their life, this book can be provide solace as well as hope of a better, happier life being oneself, making this a must-read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The guidebook you need
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseDavide guides us on a journey, gently weaving in the threads of his own life experience and inviting us to look through this lens of authenticity into how we are ready to show up as we are and bring our gifts to the world.
I celebrate him and this book, and look forward to applying these principles in my speaking career to really hone and polish the delivery of my vision and touch more lives with the message to “Dream With Your Eyes Open”.
Thank you Davide!
