Serving From The Heart (Faith Driven Stories and Transformative Strategies)

A leadership book from the perspective of leaders in different fields. Transform Your Leadership. Inspire Change. Leave a Legacy. Unlock the power of servant leadership to create lasting impact in your life, business, and community.

The Collaborative Book project of top leaders who are sharing their insights is launching the month of February. This is a great spot to be a part of reaching more people on how to incorporate this into life, work and community. We would love to have you a part of this opportunity and get private access to interviews, give aways, and announcements. 

And yes, I am a co-author. So, I hope you will visit our page for information to order your copy when it come out in a few weeks.

A big welcome to folks who I have recently invited. Please consider joining in as well. This (hopefully) will be the place to help launch this collaborative book and let you know the date and places to order so my felllow authors have a great launch. Thanks for your help and support.

BOOK QUOTES

A quote from this time that's in the book: "As Ron walked out, I turned to Mike (Nordin) and said, “someday I want his job.”"

The photo is of me in 1987 at Camp. I earned that hat.

Another lesson and quote from the book. “I won’t describe what happened next; it was not pretty, nor am I proud of any of it.

I felt like a "BOSS" that day.”

One of my favorite stories in this book has this passage: “I had an anthropology class in college, and I remember the professor saying, “people don’t paint their toenails, cultures do.””

I like to think that goes for Obi Wan as well!

I am so humbled, blessed and honored to be writing alongside such talented people in life, work and faith. This Leadership book will be Life Changing for so many.
