Inspiring & Instructive Easy Read

How would you like the opportunity to sit down, one-on-one, with 21 of the exemplary top leaders of our time? What would you ask them? Would you enjoy getting to know them and yearn to begin applying what you learn to make a difference in your own life-and the lives of others? What questions would you ask them to unlock the secrets of their success? Oh, you might be a little bit intimidated to ask personal questions, like "what is your secret of success?" "What are their best practices?" You want to know what really makes them so successful, what makes it all come together. It might be helpful to have someone else ask those questions on your behalf. Keith Harrell is a been there-done that motivational speaker who knows how to get inside the issues to learn the real truths. That insight is what makes him one of the most popular figures on the speaking circuit today. In these pages, Keith (you'll feel like you're friends from the beginning) takes us on an exciting and enlightening journey. Not only does he dig in to get profound answers for his readers, he offers his own expansion of the leaders' responses...with challenges for us to consider how we might want to apply the learnings to change our own lives. Each chapter concludes with a sort of official biography in smaller type to help us understand who we're learning from. In putting this book together, Harrell has selected well-known and not-so-well-known leaders. Each has an important message to share, and the author's style brings those messages to life. And, as a bonus, there's an extra chapter filled with a sort of rapid-fire collection of insights from other people Keith wants to share with us. An index enhances the value of the book. For current and aspiring leaders, this is a worthwhile read.
