Whether you’re a CEO, a manager, or an individual contributor who wants to make a difference, Finding Time to Lead will provide you with perspectives and tools to maximize your capacity to lead.

Drawing from more than twenty years of experience working side-by-side with leaders of new organizations and new leaders in established companies, Leslie Peters offers a framework of clear and concise shifts, practices, and tools to put you in the fast lane toward becoming the leader you want to be.

What does it take to be a good leader? Are there shortcuts? How can you prioritize the limited time you have available for all of this “leadership stuff”? What should you spend your time on that will help you build a culture that will attract and keep great people?

Productively engage with others to build the kind of trust that leads to commitment, collaboration, and innovation;

Confidently lead through change;

Prioritize your time to have maximum impact on your corporate culture;

Leslie Peters brings a no-bullshit, straight-talk perspective to the unique responsibility of leadership – with compelling real-life stories and a clear pathway to guide the very human leader inside us all.” –Dean Carter, Head of Finance, HR and Legal at Patagonia

Get Schooled in Comedy this Summer:

The Fillmore Elementary Educators Return with
More Hilarious Antics in Season Three of Teachers! Tuesdays 10:30 ET/PT on TV Land

Go to the Head of the Class with Co-Stars
Katy Colloton & Katie O’Brien as they chat with Ric



Class is back in session this summer as TV Land’s hit comedy series Teachers returns for a third session. After a much needed long recess, the leaders of the playground are back and ready to conquer a new school year and this season our fearless heroines are fighting the spread of the vicious and highly contagious lice epidemic. The Teachers are put to the test when the dreaded curse of creepy crawlers enters the classroom, and the question remains – who will make it out alive?

Teachers stars The Katydids, the improv group consisting of Caitlin Barlow (Ms. Cannon), Katy Colloton (Ms. Snap), Cate Freedman (Ms. Feldman), Kate Lambert (Ms. Watson), Katie O’Brien (Ms. Bennigan) and Kathryn Renée Thomas (Mrs. Adler). The Katydids write, star and executive produce the series.

Teachers revolves around six elementary school teachers who are trying to mold the minds and lives of America's youth, even though they really don't seem to have their own lives together at all. Last season, Variety hailed the cast, stating, “in terms of acing the midterm, the Katydids have indeed done it,” while Bustle said “the female-driven sitcom is hilarious, insightful, and totally cute.”

Katy Colloton stars as the narcissistic 'Ms. Chelsea Snap.' Colloton received her B.A. in theater and psychology from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. After college, Katy moved to Chicago, where she performed with the Second City House Ensemble, among others. TimeOut Chicago called her the "breakout" performer at the 2013 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival. Colloton has developed a TV series for NBC Universal and a feature with Bluegrass Films.

Katie O'Brien plays the naïve and well-intentioned 'Ms. Mary Louise Bennigan' in Teachers. Originally, from Omaha, O'Brien later moved to Chicago, where she performed in comedy and was the youngest cast member in Nora Ephron's, Love, Loss and What I Wore with Broadway in Chicago. O'Brien met and fell in love with her best friends, "The Katydids” while embracing the Chicago improv culture. The group began doing shows, and later created Teachers. O'Brien currently lives in Los Angeles with her fiancé and her dog, aka "her son," Murrie. She is a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen and is perpetually fascinated with Mariah Carey.

The Lady Of Esterbrooke: Loves Journey Through Time by Ann W. Phillips

The Lady of Esterbrooke is a novel about a young couple and their journey through life. It begins with her life on Esterbrooke Plantation where she meets the love of her life and takes them through old age. They grow in their faith and love as the years go by, and they learn to cherish each other. They raise their children to respect their faith and to love animals. Marla and Lance are our main characters. He and his family are from Spain, and they own the plantation.

Marla’s dad is the caretaker of the plantation. This story carries them through the courtship, the children, and into old age together. Their faith and the fact that they put Christ first in their marriage keeps them strong. They love the horses, cats, and donkeys that are on the plantation. And they love watching their children share their values as they grow into adulthood.

About the Author

I was born on Estherville Plantation in Georgetown, South Carolina. My dad was the caretaker of that plantation at the time. He was a self-taught watch and clock repairman, he put down wells and he worked on the railroad trestle.

My dad and my mother were hard-working, God-fearing, honest people. They are respected by their community and everyone that got to know them. They were never rich in earthly riches, but they were rich in what really mattered. My dad and mom were animal lovers and they taught us, my brother and I, to respect nature. I had a dream childhood filled with love and respect. I married my husband, Stephen Lamar Phillips in 1963. We moved to Mount Pleasant, S.C. and I still live there. We had two great children, Cheryl and Stephen.

I worked as a school lunchroom manager and wrote stories in my spare time. I finally decided to publish my children’s book, Friends and Everywhere. Then I wrote The Lady of Esterbrooke after my husband passed away. My dad had been a caretaker of so many plantations while we were growing up, that I decided to use a plantation as my story’s backdrop. I am now living with my crazy cat, Charlie. I am working on my third book and hope to have it published by next year.

A SHADOW AWAY : ALEX CORT ADVENTURES by Joan K. Lacy

Get Ready to Journey into a Supernatural Adventure.

When British archaeologist Andrew Seaton discovers a jewel-encrusted golden statue, he realizes he may have uncovered the key to the lost city of El Dorado. The statue disappears before he can verify his findings, and Andrew must rely on private detective Alex Cort to recover the prized artifact.

The two men find themselves caught up in a dangerous race against a corrupt colleague and a ruthless art thief who will stop at nothing to claim the statue for themselves.

As each new clue leads them up the Amazon River and deeper into the jungle, they soon discover things are not quite what they appear. When all seems lost, the mystical powers of a beautiful woman guide them out of danger and ultimately to the ruins of an ancient city, where Andrew must right the wrongs he committed in a past life and Alex discovers a secret of his own.

About Joan K. Lacy
From a young age, author Joan K. Lacy loved travel, meeting people in other countries, and learning to speak their languages. This interest led to leaving UCLA to live a year in Europe, where she got excellent practice with French, Spanish, Italian, and German. Joan is intrigued with myths and legends from all over the world, and now is happy to combine all she’s learned, researched, and experienced into exciting and entertaining adventure stories with a magical twist.

As an artist, the wild and domestic animals she loves became her subjects for drawing, painting, and sculpting. Science, from quantum physics to the cosmos, piqued her interest and broadened her scope for storytelling. In her free time, Joan enjoys playing the banjo, bossa nova guitar, and Irish fiddle, and spinning alpaca fiber into yarn. Her other artistic interest is creating silk floral arrangements within unique glass vases.

Her forthcoming novel, A Shadow Away, is the first in the Alex Cort Adventure Series, where she combines research, imagination, and personal experience to create exciting stories filled with metaphysics, folklore, mythology, quantum physics, and archaeology. In a world where time and space are not always what they seem, Joan shows readers that anything is possible if they just believe.
