Get Strategic About Your Practice of Self-Leadership
Through my work with hundreds of high-performance leaders, teams, organizations, and government agencies, I’ve found that the greatest leaders don’t just talk about well-being — they model it and empower their teams to do the same.
In my best-selling book Well-Being Ultimatum, I’ll show you how to design a well-being strategy plan so you can optimize your practice of self-leadership. And, I'll share the science behind burnout and compassion fatigue so you can protect yourself and your team from their negative impact on your personal quality of life and team performance. I will also share with you my own pioneering doctoral research on the impact of social support - showing you why it is the most important component of your well-being strategy.
Although I wrote this book in 2015, leaders and teams all over the world continue to apply its teachings in their day-to-day life. The framework found in the book has also been studied as a best-practice in the coaching field, in both scholarship and coach training.

Build Your Own Thought Leadership Business and Brand without Burning Out Your Well-Being
When I started out writing books, creating online courses, and delivering keynote speeches to help people to strategically practice self-leadership, I didn't think of myself as a thought leader or call myself one. I also felt very awkward and uncomfortable "selling" my work as because I was driven by purpose not profit.
But after my mentors showed me how to transform my passion for helping people into a thriving thought leadership business -- everything changed. I started making the impact I had felt Called to make all along while protecting my own personal well-being and generating prosperity for my family's future.
That’s why I felt divinely Called to create this course — to help coaches, experts, and executives to become thriving thought leaders by showing them how they too can build a business without burning out. If you are passionate about sharing your purpose with the world, and are ready to invite more prosperity into your life while protecting your well-being, then I invite you to join our global community of more than 500 course community members across 5 continents who are building thriving thought leadership businesses and brands without burning out their well-being.
