This week on the podcast, I’m delighted to bring you two authors for the price of one. They are John Baird and Edward Sullivan, both of Velocity Coaching Group.
Their book together is called Leading With Heart: Five Conversations That Unlock Creativity, Purpose, and Results, and it’s already spent a few weeks on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list.
In it, they share hundreds of hours of research and firsthand accounts of guiding leaders at some of the world’s most respected big brands and small startups (Apple, Nike, Google, Slack to name a few).
At a time when workplaces are struggling to build high-morale and connected cultures, LEADING with HEART will help leaders to unlock the best version of themselves and those around them with transformative results.
No matter where you are in your career, their book is your launch point to leading with heart.
By encouraging you to ignore outdated “leadership hacks” and embrace introspection and growth, Leading with Heart guides you to ask the right questions and find your own answers. Now you too can create a leadership game-plan that is authentic to you and brings out the best in those around you.

- And lots more!
