Success skills
AI can’t replace.

"I have known Anne since my first term in Congress and have seen firsthand her ability to turn relationships into results. She played a crucial role in building coalitions, navigating the chaos of Capitol Hill, and delivering the right information at the right time, helping to get the monumental Trafficking Survivors Relief Act signed into law. How Power Moves is a guide to the communication and leadership skills that can’t be outsourced."

Russell Fry, United States Congressman

“Real change does not happen through good ideas alone. It happens when people build trust, bridge differences and turn shared convictions into collective action. In my work advancing children’s rights at the European Parliament, I have seen first-hand that the ability to bring people together is often what transforms ambition into lasting policy change. How Power Moves offers valuable insights into the human skills that make that change possible.”

"Our nation’s productive capacity begins with people who have the skills, confidence, and wisdom to turn ideas into opportunity. Anne Basham’s How Power Moves offers practical lessons in building relationships and leading change that will remain essential in the age of AI.”

Burgess Owens, United States Congressman

“How Power Moves provides practical wisdom on connection and change that every leader needs. I have seen Anne build coalitions and speak to Parliamentarians around the world, and in a world guided increasingly by AI these human skills have never been more essential.”

— Robert Pittenger, Former Member, United States Congress; President, Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum

“When I was released from prison in Sudan, I needed people who would not only hear my story but help the world hear it too. Anne was not only an effective advocate on Capitol Hill, but she helped me with preparations for my trip to the United Nations, European Parliament and State Department and became a good friend. She knows how to make the ask, help survivors tell the story with truth and dignity, and bring people together around a cause. This book shares the lessons she lived out as an advocate, and anyone who wants to stand up for good should read it.”

— Mariam Ibraheem, Former Prisoner of Conscience and Human Rights Activist

“I have worked alongside Anne Basham for years on the Interparliamentary Taskforce on Human Trafficking. In How Power Moves, she shares practical lessons in building trust, forming coalitions and turning purpose into action for anyone trying to make change happen. Whatever AI changes about the pace and process of decision-making, trust, relationships and human judgement remain essential.”

— The Hon Linda Reynolds CSC, Former Australian Senator and Minister for Defence

“I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Anne for many years, and I’ve seen firsthand how she lives out the principles in this book: making an effective ask, telling a great story, and building lasting coalitions. For leaders, these skills are the difference between having a good idea and moving people to act on it.”

— Bob Rodgers, CEO, Street Grace

Having known Anne for over a decade and co-founded a nonprofit with her in 2019, I’ve witnessed firsthand her extraordinary gift of communication and connection, working with NGOs and government officials to advocate for the most vulnerable. In How Power Moves, she shares invaluable tools for building those connections and turning conviction into effective advocacy and change.

How Power Moves is an extraordinary and timely contribution that captures, with remarkable insight and clarity, what it truly takes to turn influence into meaningful action. She shows us that power is measured not simply by the positions we hold, but by how we use our voices and inspire others. In advocating for my sister, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and the Uyghur people, I have learned firsthand that confronting injustice demands courage, determination, and collective action. In an age increasingly shaped by AI, Anne’s message is essential: these distinctly human strengths are irreplaceable and vital to creating lasting change.

“Anne’s leadership is defined by her exceptional ability to foster collaboration across the public and private sectors. Her successes in Washington and in statehouses across the nation are proof that the lessons in How Power Moves work.”

— Tre Hargett, Tennessee Secretary of State

“Anne spent years fighting for a law that gave me my life back, and because of her persistence, doors I never thought possible are now open. As a survivor who received relief under the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act, I can tell you that what she shares in How Power Moves is not theory; it changes lives.”

"As a survivor leader, I know the difference between people who talk about change and those who truly stand up and make it happen. I have stood alongside Anne Basham at the Senate in Madrid and in London with the taskforce, and I have seen firsthand her incredible strength, loyalty and determination to fight for what is right. How Power Moves is an important book because Anne knows that real change comes from courage, trust and human connection, things no AI can ever replace."

“Knowing Anne personally, I have seen firsthand the deep compassion, hard work, and high moral principles that define her leadership. How Power Moves is a reflection of that commitment, proving that real influence comes from solving systemic root causes, listening well, and leading with integrity.”
