Are you tired of saying, “This year I am going to finally…,” and then Do Not follow through?  Guess what?  You’re not alone!  Thousands of people have the same problem.  They start out each year optimistic, but soon find themselves losing motivation…Is this you?  Then I urge you to read Take The Lead, by Betsy Myers.

Learn how to motivate, inspire, and be the best you can be in life!

Myers is the executive Director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, one of the founders and former Director of the White House Office for Women during the Clinton administration, and COO of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  Betsy Myers unveils the keys to effective leadership.  It offers a unique and practical set of seven principles that will guide you to your highest potential, and in doing so help the people around you to become inspired and motivated to collaborate with you to reach a common goal.  These principles pinpoint how some people are able to evoke feelings of passionate engagement in those around them, and how we can harness these keys to leadership success in our own lives.

These seven core principles are:

1.   Connection – Making people feel seen, heard and valued
2.   Collaboration – Being willing to embrace differing points of view
3.   Authenticity – Knowing who you are
4.   Respect – Treating each person as important
5.   Clarity – Laser focus and uncompromising consistency
6.   Learning – Always listening and staying open to new ideas
7    Courage – The courage to take risks; to apologize; to tell the truth; to grow

Author Betsy Myers of Take The Lead

No excuses people…Betsy is a powerful and successful woman.  You couldn’t ask for a better book or personal motivator!  Start off 2012 in a better place…I know you can do it!
