Lead In: Mindsets to Lead, Live and Work Differently

The challenges we face require us to lead in a new way. There is a deep, untapped reservoir of leadership potential within each person, each organisation, and every community. Yet too many of us hide from it, clinging to old notions about who we think we are, and what we think we are capable of.

This book will help you unlock this power to achieve your goals, empower others and make the difference you want to make.

Why Lead In?

We face so many obstacles and our normal way of dealing with them isn’t working anymore. We are exhausted and worried, and there’s not much energy left. Without developing mindset capabilities, it will get harder to respond effectively in these challenging times.

Too often we lead out - worrying what people think, reacting to conditions we can't control, and feeling like we are always on the back foot. This keeps us focused on the wrong things and stops us from doing the work that actually matters.

When we lead in we bring awareness to our mindsets, beliefs and behaviours. We focus on what’s important. No matter what the world throws at us we respond with power and grace. We lead in a new way.

About Lead In

We know that mindsets are key for overcoming obstacles and challenges, yet the how-to of developing them has seemed tricky – until now.

Lead In is your practical and accessible guide to activating the mindsets you need to step into a new way of leading.

Lead In will help you:

  • Identify old beliefs and stories that are holding you back – and transform them by using the Mindset Process™
  • Expand what you think is possible for you, your team, and your world
  • Discover your default leading style - and how to change it to the Leader’s mindset
  • Lessen the grip of the Scarcity mindset
  • Learn how to empower others to Lead In as well
  • Realise that you are enough - as you are - to lead, to matter, and to make a difference.
