Overview

Inside The Book

THERE ARE BILLIONS of us on the planet, and if each of us understood our power and leadership potential the world would be a better place. Through media and socialization, we are often erroneously led to believe that leadership is a quality gifted to a limited few who either have charisma or connections. While we have some great leaders, who have reshaped communities and industries by challenging the status quo, or creating something new, leadership is not about a position or a podium.

In watching others lead we come to believe that we are not enough to make the change. We will sit waiting for instruction. Africa needs us to take a different approach. We must start with ourselves and be part of the solution. We need courage, direction, teamwork, integrity, resource management, forecasting, analytical thinking, and so many other skills to redress our socio-economic position. There is something breath-taking and momentous about coming to stand in your power, unstoppable, confident in your beliefs.

This does not require hours and years of study. Instead, it needs self-awareness of your experiences and interpretation thereof, and an openness to feedback. We need to teach our children to do likewise building a new generation of leaders. Coaches and mentors are great for helping you develop your own leadership signature and brand.

I am purposed to activate the leader within my clients and people who cross my path through my many experiences as a teacher, lecturer, mother, and wife. There is a leader in all of us, but most people are not aware. Leadership is not the domain of what they perceive in the leaders of the world. Leadership is a as private as it is public. It starts within and radiates outward. Embracing the leader in us can change the world, it can make an impact and powerfully move from a small world to a bigger world.

In The Leader Within, You Will Learn

You can also lead and succeed in your own unique field in your own unique way. Young professionals can leave their mark on the world whether they are in a management position or not. The changing face of work and employability also means that many will become entrepreneurs who will innovate, meet changing customer needs, and leave the world a better place.

One of the critical realisations for me as a child was that my parents accepted all of us and treated us as equals. Even at school we were allowed equal opportunity. However, as a middle child I always felt I was not heard enough and needed to work harder at school to compensate. Perhaps that gave me the drive to get to the levels I have achieved in Education.

My professional career has taught me the value of effort and diligence, and that it pays to work hard and see your students performing well. There is no greater reward for a teacher than to see a student being employed in a well-paying job or becoming someone of substance. That one has been my great joy.

Leadership happens within and within the most important social unit, the family. The route to solving many of our socio-economic ills on the continent comes down to strengthening our families.

Stay true to who you are. There are many role models, supporters, and icons who will inspire you along the way. But they can never be you. So, take the parts that motivate you and add it to your unique characteristics, keep learning, and you will surprise even yourself

Audience

PROFESSIONALS

The Leader Within is for every professional who is passionate about education and leadership. And one desiring to understand how these two elements can bring about change and transformation in the world using innovation, creativity, and adaptive learning.

LEADERS

Leadership is a complex role that involves technical knowledge, people skills, and skills you can't plan for as situations arise. I see a world where we network with each other, from various parts of the world, like we are doing now. Leadership is largely a mental role that needs constant learning to stay effective, which is why reading The Leader Within is a key.

STUDENTS AND YOUTH

Discovering your God-given leadership traits at an early age is a good place to start your leadership journey of discovery and growth. Purpose to activate the leader within you believing that the greatest movements and revolutions that changed our world were led by young men and women like you.

WOMEN

The Leader Within highlights that we must start with ourselves and be part of the solution. We need courage, direction, teamwork, integrity, resource management, forecasting, analytical thinking, and so many other skills to redress our socio-economic position. There is something breath-taking and momentous about coming to stand in your power, unstoppable, confident in your beliefs.
