The world has transitioned from the mantra “ask and you shall receive” to a much more effective model of “give and you shall receive.”

Leadership

::a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task::

Everyone has a different point of view as to what defines good leadership.   Looking at the textbook definition of leadership, you’ll see social influence and support of others necessary to help a leader accomplish the goal set.  In my opinion and experience though, while these are two great components of leadership, they’re not enough into today’s world to truly define impactful leadership.

To truly be a leader you have to combine both brains and heart to accomplish goals and to create impact.  Here’s also the thing – a leader isn’t just defined as someone designated by hierarchy or corporate structure.  You will find leaders at all levels within an organization, as well as in the community they’re involved in.  They are seen in all walks of life.  Leaders are individuals who step up and want to create their mark in the world.  They’re obsessed with making a difference and creating positive change. 

With this in mind, I’m excited to share with you the exciting news of the launch of my new eGuide called The Impactful Leader:  The Top 10 Skills to Set You Apart.  I wrote this eGuide with those in mind who are looking to feed this obsession and better themselves to better the world around them.  The book discusses the Top 10 skills that set apart the impactful leader.  It is an offshoot of a blog posting I wrote that was my top-ranked article over a one-year period.  I’m very passionate about helping those who want to step up to the plate and take on leadership responsibilities.

It’s a powerful and transformational eGuide and workbook that you can print out and carry with you.  It shows new leaders how to combine both brains and heart so they can positively contribute to their life, family, organizations, communities, and the world at large.

To celebrate the launch of my new book, I want to live up to what I preach.  Namely, that it is in giving that we receive.  So, for any purchase of my book for the next two weeks (until Thursday, August 1, 2013), I will donate 50% of my sales to the Animal Welfare Association of NJ.   The AWA-NJ, a private, nonprofit organization, operates the oldest and largest low-cost spay/neuter clinic, adoption center and no-kill animal shelter in South Jersey. Through a variety of innovative programs including adoptions, veterinary services, pet therapy, trap-neuter-return and humane education, they strive to ensure that animal companionship is accessible to all.

I adopted two precious adult cats, Merlin and Mystic Morrigan, from this shelter after dealing with the immense loss of my beloved 16-year old cat, Rusty.  The shelter team was wonderful and my two new furbabies have been a true blessing.  However, I would like to honor my beloved Rusty through donating 50% of my book sales.
