A lot of leadership advice sounds great and then disappears the moment your calendar gets chaotic. We wanted something sturdier than motivation, so we’re sharing the story behind Dr. Katie Urban’s newest release: 52 Weeks of Leadership, a guided hardcover journal built to turn leadership development into a weekly practice you can actually keep.
We talk through what makes the journal different from a typical workbook or inspirational read. Each week focuses on a leadership skill and moves you through a simple sequence: a clear definition, reflection prompts, an action to practice in real life, and a stretch that nudges you into the conversation you’ve been avoiding. Katie shares a concrete example from the Respect week, including how to name the boundary, value, or need that gets violated when you feel disrespected, and how to turn that moment into better communication, stronger relationships, and more confident leadership.
We also get practical about format and access. The book is available on Amazon (including Amazon International), and you don’t need to be in Katie’s Catalyst Development programs or the Kansas City Leaders Institute to use it. Organizations can buy copies for employees, run book studies, and even explore bulk pricing through Katie. Because the journal is independently published, there’s flexibility for special prints for schools or teams while keeping the core leadership content intact.
If you’re ready for a leadership journal that blends emotional intelligence, growth mindset, active listening, and bias awareness into weekly reps, press play and join us. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more leaders can find the community.
