Publisher's Synopsis
Before you even contemplate leading others, you need to have the courage and curiosity to lead yourself first.
When we look deep inside to better understand ourselves and what matters most to us, our voice comes from a place of assurance and conviction.
By understanding how to regulate our own emotions and how to better navigate situations and relationships, we can use this stronger voice to move forward with focus and integrity.
Through learning to open up and use our power within, we open boundless possibilities in our lives and our careers.
Start with You: Lead from the Inside offers the tools to find your voice and propel your leadership out of autopilot to become a highly-valued, and emotionally-aware leader.

I really enjoyed your recent presentation to the Australian Institute of Packaging ...we enjoyed it so much we bought 5 copies of your book...one for each family member, that is how much we valued that which you said in your presentation. I have finished reading my copy and wanted you to know how much I value your book. I have put it to good use in my work. I lead the World Packaging Organisation as their president and have already applied various of your suggestions. Being a global organisation, I cross different cultures and value systems and have seen results in some area already where I have implemented some of the suggestions.
I wanted you to know the value of your work and how much I appreciate the difference it has made.
