Book Synopsis

The only language you need to know to change your results.

Inside each of us is a vision of how things could be. Yet most people remain frustrated by a lack of impact, unable to connect and inspire the people they care about the most. Why?

There's a language we understand, but rarely use. A language that's sincere. Powerful. Compelling. A language of words--and actions--that can't be denied.

Leadership Language will help you to peel back the ineffective "business speak", so you can change the conversation. And change your results. Imagine what could happen when you replace frustration with an irresistible vision--for yourself, your team and your organization.

Today's leaders face so many challenges--employee retention, operational efficiency, culture, collaboration, leading across generations, and more--but communication is at the heart of every one of those issues. A clear message with a powerful delivery gets you halfway home. Honing in on your next conversation can drive more impact, better relationships, and greater overall effectiveness. For yourself. Your career. Your company.

They say there's nothing that can stop an idea whose time has come. So, take the lead. It's time for you to create what's missing. And Leadership Language will show you how.

• Get clear on your vision, get aligned with your story, and get others engaged with your message
• Connect with the people that matter most, in a way that invites innovation and new outcomes

• Find the courage to move forward, conquer change, and create powerful impact--while you help others do the same

From student leaders to the C-suite, there is only one way for a leader to make an impact: communication. Leadership Language is your personal guide to mastering critical skills and unveiling your authentic potential.

From the Back Cover

Complacency is the enemy of every leader. If you have a vision--for yourself, your team and your organization--you owe it to yourself to access the language that replaces complacency with results. Leadership Language is a language of authenticity. Connection. Engagement. A language of words, demonstrated in actions, and delivering an impact that can't be denied.

Whether you are an actual or aspirational leader, your words and actions will drive your results--either into the stratosphere, or into the ditch.

Beyond the likes, tweets and swipes are the connections that really matter. True influence starts with connection--and the realization that leadership lives inside all of us. There's never been a greater need for a clear understanding of how you can lead others, and share your own vision, whatever that vision might be. Whether you tweet it or tell it, you deserve a conversation that cuts through the noise.

This book is your personal guide into what leadership means, and where leadership can truly thrive. Inside you will find the antidote for the complacency in your career, your relationships and your company--as you discover the dialogue that brings your ideas to life.

Unlike other leadership books, filled with the same old tips and techniques, Leadership Language puts a fresh focus on the intrinsic and powerful source of innovation, inspiration, and impact. You will learn how to access the authentic confidence that is irresistible to others and use the language that is the source of real influence, and effectiveness. Discover how your authenticity and vulnerability can inspire others to exceed expectations, achieve more and be more.

Because complacency is never your destination.
