Making Waves: Inspiring Transformational Leadership Through Positivity, Persistence, and Aloha

Some of the best leaders don’t start out wanting the role—they step up because they see a problem and refuse to ignore it. In Making Waves: Inspiring Transformational Leadership Through Positivity, Persistence, and Aloha, Davin Kazama redefines leadership for those who never saw themselves as leaders. With deep humility and personal insight, he shares lessons from his own journey, from navigating business challenges to the transformative experience of fatherhood. This book explores the power of leadership in service to others—how individuals who lead with authenticity, service, and integrity create lasting impact. Drawing from his upbringing in Hawaiʻi and the aloha spirit, Kazama illustrates how true leadership is not about dominance or showmanship, but about resilience, responsibility, and community. Through engaging storytelling and practical wisdom, Making Waves offers a roadmap for anyone ready to lead in their own way. Whether you’re a young entrepreneur, a mid-career professional questioning your leadership potential, or a seasoned executive looking for a fresh perspective, this book will help you harness your strengths, bet on yourself, and step forward with confidence.
