How is your book helping others?

This teaches leaders the crucial mindset shifts they need to be successful based on the latest in neuroscience and psychology. It's extremely practical, meaning that managers and executives can take any of the 48 skills taught in the book and use them right away.

Readers learn how to;
*Overcome imposter syndrome and develop unshakeable confidence.
*Transform from a tactical expert to a strategic leader.
*Develop leadership presence that people naturally respect and follow.
*Engage and inspire your team through empowerment and growth.

Leadership Mindset 2.0 gives a complete evidence-based roadmap for success.

John Baldoni

How is your book helping others?

"Grace Under Pressure: Leading Through Change and Crisis" focuses on three things leaders need to do when change and adversity strike: take care of their people, take care of themselves, and prepare for the future. And they must do it all with a sense of grace—calmly, collectedly, and compassionately.

Baldoni's timely and much-needed new book, describes what it takes to remain calm and in control in moments of urgency. When "fight or flight" seem like our only options, good leaders do neither. Instead, they stay put and lead with grace and compassion, knowing that their own futures and livelihoods are bound up with those they lead.

Among the themes Baldoni explores are fear and loss as well as empathy, resilience, and hope. This book also provides a roadmap for leaders seeking to create community as they meet the coming challenges with dignity and grace.

It gives leaders a theoretical and practical underpinning they can use for deeper reflection and personal growth to turn their new-found knowledge into action.
