Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin

We kick off Season 2: Beyond the Book in the spirit of the summer!

This episode was recorded at the beginning of summer and I decided to spend some time during the summer re-reading a few books that have had the most impact on me.

One in particular, that has left an imprint on my heart and my soul and my way of seeing myself is a book with the title "Sparked: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work that Makes You Come Alive" by Jonathan Fields.

That's why I wanted to bring to you an encore of a conversation I had with one of my favorite people Dr. Kim Middleton... in hope that it inspires and encourages you to spend some time this summer having conversations with some of your favorite people and/or rereading some of the books that made the most impact on you.

I hope you discover your unique imprint for work... work that makes you come alive and fills you with meaning joy, purpose, and possibility.

Welcome to Season 2 - our theme for this season is "Beyond The Book."

Authors are some of the best leaders there are... whether they are in official or unofficial leadership roles, capacities, or positions... and they have purpose in the message that they share through their books.

Our focus for "Beyond The Book" will be on using books to make a difference in others lives as well as leadership purpose through books... about books... for books... and with books.

We'll talk about book writing, book publishing, book promotion, but all centered around leadership purpose through books.

So if you are someone who has written a book or are aspiring to write a book, or you're just fascinated by books that make a difference, then you'll get advice, tools and tips. Also, you'll get motivation and inspiration for your own life and work.

During each episode we will have conversations about books and beyond. Some will be with authors; some will be with non authors; and all will be related to books and leadership purpose through books.

Some of the episodes will be solo, and others guest episodes. All will be about leadership purpose connected to the book in ways that encourage, inspire and motivate you.

I'm so excited for you to take the this journey with us. So tune in to the next episode and I'll see you there.
