Stoic Empathy shapes the kind of leaders who move human consciousness forward—those who lead not by dominance, but with clarity, emotional integrity, and deep human insight. By combining the ancient discipline of Stoicism with the relational power of empathic leadership—and grounding both in modern neuroscience—the book offers a new framework for influence in an age of overwhelm. It helps readers navigate high-stakes conversations, regulate emotions under pressure, and transform conflict into connection. Rather than react impulsively, readers learn to respond with grounded authority and strategic compassion. The tools in Stoic Empathy are immediately actionable in negotiations, leadership, and personal relationships—equipping people to lead with calm, connect with intention, and elevate the environments around them. In helping leaders evolve, the book helps everyone they serve.

Transforming Healthcare Through Negotiation fills a critical gap: healthcare professionals face high-stakes conversations every day but receive little training in negotiation. This book empowers them to stop feeling powerless in difficult workplace situations and become confident, collaborative problem-solvers. Built on the HEAR™ Framework—developed at Johns Hopkins—it includes practical tools like the Healthcare Negotiation Mapping Tool and real-world case studies. Readers learn to secure resources, manage conflict, and implement changes where others hit barriers. Results include $3.1M in cost savings, biotech licensing breakthroughs, and major improvements in care delivery. Most importantly, readers report stronger patient outcomes, reduced burnout, and renewed fulfillment in their work. They become the people others turn to when tough negotiations arise—leaders who bridge divides across clinical, operational, and business priorities.
