We Wrote the Book Most Leaders Avoid Writing, and It Just Became a Finalist

We Wrote the Book Most Leaders Avoid Writing, and It Just Became a Finalist

Most leadership content tells you what to think. Ours asked nine leaders to show their actual work.

Leaders Of Influence: Insights to Inspirational Impact brings together senior leaders writing from the front line of their own decisions, not from a distance. We built it to fill a gap the standard leadership playbook leaves wide open: the practical mechanics of earning trust, changing how a culture behaves under pressure, and making the right call when the way forward isn’t obvious.

Built From Lived Experience, Not Theory

Every chapter in this book comes from someone who lived the problem before writing about it. That’s a deliberate choice. Readers get board-level governance frameworks, communication strategies that scale across large teams, and accountability structures that hold up when things get genuinely difficult, not just when they’re easy.

External Validation, Right on Time

We’re proud to share that Leaders Of Influence has been named a Finalist in the Stevie Awards For Women In Business, Book of the Year category. An independent panel reviewed the entry and moved it forward, which tells us this thinking is landing with people well outside our own circle.

This builds on a strong launch. The book claimed number one Amazon best seller status across three business categories within a day of release, and this Finalist placement adds credible weight to that early result.

We’re grateful to our co-authors for putting their real experience on the page, and to every reader who backed this project from day one.
