The Book Behind the Training
Did You Know This Site Is Built on a Book?
One of my founding ideals in business and leadership is holding yourself accountable to a timeline. I set a hard deadline for Action Leadership From the Edge: August 11, 2022, my birthday. Boom! Done.
Every course on this site grows out of those pages. Read the book, then put it into action with the training.
Speaking
Bring Action Leadership to Your Organization
In the spring of 2022, I presented this leadership concept to the Giver Marketing Network, the first time I spoke publicly on the subject before the book was released. Since then, the message has only sharpened. Let’s talk about bringing it to your team or event.
