ABOUT THE BOOKForgiveness is the least talked about and most desperately needed soft skill in leadership. Now more than ever, as we aspire to build cultures of true belonging, we need leaders who are free from the distractions of resentment, shame and mistrust. Unprocessed pain causes good leaders to step out of alignment, rob themselves of joy and diminish the potential success of their team in hundreds of accidental and unconscious ways. This is a book about reckoning with our stories so we can be the people we mean to be consistently. It provides a tactical strategy for navigating forgiveness using the surprising playbook found in improvised comedy and mindfulness practice. The deeper I go into the work of mindful improv, the more I am convinced of all it can do for leaders, parents, pastors and heart-centered humans aspiring to make a positive impact in the world. This book is just the beginning! |
This humble book is making its way around the world, and is being read by leaders on every inhabited continent. The next generation of leaders are taking hold of these ideals - Mindful Improv Thinking is currently being taught to business students and rising leaders at universities in the US and Australia.
