How is your book helping others?

Most business leaders report that they are seeing success, yet often struggle with self-doubt, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, anxiety about business growth, poor work/life balance, and the sense they’re not yet the leader that, deep down, they know they need to be.

My Daily Leadership equips business owners, top-level executives, and managers with daily leadership habits, mindsets, and strategies to reach their full potential and become the extraordinary leaders their people and company deserve. Packed with journal prompts throughout, the book encourages leaders to develop a habit of self-reflection as they discover and strengthen their unique leadership style, transforming the way they think, behave, and lead. By implementing the Five Core Elements of Exceptional Leadership and the Twenty Critical Performance Competencies, leaders learn to futureproof themselves, their people, and their business, building a lasting legacy of high performance – one day at a time.
