It all began as a group of leaders sharing their challenges and dreams on social media chats and hangouts. Whether we worked internally for organizations or consulted from the outside, one thing for sure was clear- we enjoyed learning from one other and our energy became infectious. Our time together empowered each of us to gain a better understanding of what strong leadership really looks like.

From these conversations, five of us started to embrace the idea that leadership was about insightful storytelling with powerful lessons to be learned. If we could be energized through each other’s anecdotes, then maybe we could reach out to other leadership experts we met on social media to share their stories too.

The five content coaches LaRaeQuy, Alli Polin, Karin Hurt, Chery Gegelman and myself (Terri Klass) created an outline of ways for leaders to energize their leadership. We recognized that we couldn’t tackle any of our roadblocks without first discovering who we are and what we bring to the table. So began our process:

Discover  Ignite  Break Through

Over a period of two years, sixteen global leadership gurus collaborated to bring Energize Your Leadership to life. Through our true stories, we reveal our vulnerabilities as well as our key “take-aways” from leadership moments. You will be able to relate to many of our imperfect leadership experiences, interjecting your own individual tales.

As with any meaningful project, we always grow in the process. For me, the most compelling part of the journey in creating this book was our story of coming together- taking social media and virtual connections offline, and forging deeper friendships. I met strong and gifted leaders who opened their hearts and generously shared their knowledge and wisdom. Our energy levels just kept building.

Energize Your Leadership epitomizes how each person is capable of leading from wherever they are if they want to make a difference. Everyday leaders can transform into extraordinary leaders by harnessing the energy within themselves.
