This is not your typical leadership book.

It's the story of two very different women, Judith M. Judee von Seldeneck and Aileen K. Alexander, who built their careers in two very different eras. Each started out in public service--Judee on Capitol Hill in the '60s and Aileen in the military in the '90s. Each had a front row seat to observe leaders through challenging and historic times. And they share a common purpose: widening the circle of leaders for a changing world.

In Deliberately Different, Judee, founder of Diversified Search Group, and Aileen, now DSG's CEO leading one of America's top ten executive search firms, share their inspiring leadership journeys. From Judee launching the firm early in the women's movement to Aileen steering it through this transformational era, they share tough decisions, personal memories, and observations about both the timeless qualities and essential traits for modern leaders.

Presented as an open and engaging dialogue between the authors, this book is full of entertaining and uplifting anecdotes that will be useful for executives in any industry, any generation, and any context. Their forward-thinking wisdom sets a new standard of excellence for the leaders who will shape our future--including you.

Easy to understand and simple to implement, Masters of Uncertainty is essential for any person or team that wants to operate even better than they do now.

--Simon Sinek, optimist and New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and The Infinite Game

Retired Navy SEAL commander and performance expert Rich Diviney reveals a revolutionary method for training individuals and teams to perform at their best, no matter what.

For Navy SEALs, success isn't only a result of relentless training in shooting, skydiving, or combat--though they are experts at those things. The real secret is that they use their innate human capabilities to turn the stress of uncertain and complex situations to their advantage.

In more than two decades of leading, training, and coaching top performers, Rich Diviney (founder of the SEALs' Mind Gym) discovered that while most elite individuals and teams are masters of preparation, it's how they react when things don't go according to plan that separates the best from the rest. They are Masters of Uncertainty.

With Diviney's science-backed Mastering Uncertainty Method, you and your team will learn how to:

- Turn any uncertain or chaotic moment into an opportunity

- Use your body's natural performance engine to keep going when the going gets tough

- Stay cool and calm in the heat of any moment

- Become a person or team who gets better under pressure

- Gain new insight into your raw self (inherent identity and attributes) to figure out the best course of action in any scenario

- Avoid the traps that cause 95% of teams using traditional business and leadership models to consistently underperform

- Cultivate the four domains of trust that are common to all high-performing teams

Masters of Uncertainty is a battle-tested handbook for everyone--working together or alone--to survive and thrive in our increasingly unpredictable world.

From the former Head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney comes a practical toolkit to help all of us Think Differently, come up with innovative ideas, and bring them to life.

This is not your typical business book!

We are all born creative and curious, but that sense of play and imagination gets squeezed out of us by the time most of us enter adulthood.

Think of The Imagination Emporium as a cherished recipe book, a well-worn companion that busy people like you can dip in and out of, filled with useful ingredients to empower you with innovative solutions for your business, be it big or small.

Duncan played a pivotal role in fostering innovation across Imagineering, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar, and Disney Parks, crafting enchanting new storylines and experiences. He has worked with NASA to launch Buzz Lightyear into space and teamed up with brands like the Star Wars empire and Marvel superheroes. Now, in The Imagination Emporium, Duncan shares his extensive expertise to make innovation accessible to all, demystify creativity for those uncomfortable with ambiguity, and infuse the process with joy and excitement.

In a world where we learn a vast variety of subjects, one thing often goes untaught: HOW to actually Innovate.

This book is here to change that by showing you the way to innovate, generate creative ideas, and bring them to life.

Let the journey begin!

When veteran executive coach, professor, and ultraendurance champion Urs Koenig signed up to be a NATO peacekeeping commander and United Nations peacekeeper in his fifties, he thought he knew a thing or two about leadership.

What he discovered was a new way of thinking that replaces the top-down, heroic leadership of the past with a more human-centered approach that views humility as a strength and key to achieving goals in today's complex world.

The deeply researched Radical Humility framework centers on making five Shifts that will help you elevate your leadership from Heroic (THEN) to Humble (NOW):

1. Dig Deep--from blind spots (THEN) to self-awareness (NOW)

2. Tough on Results, Tender on People--from heavy-handed (THEN) to high-touch, high standards (NOW)

3. Lead Like a Compass--from micromanaging (THEN) to empowerment (NOW)

4. Full Transparency--from secrecy (THEN) to open doors (NOW)

5. Champion a Fearless Culture--from afraid to speak up (THEN) to fearless (NOW)

With a flair for storytelling that has inspired teams at Amazon, Starbucks, Microsoft, and the Society of Human Resource Management, Koenig shares his own compelling leadership journey as well as those of leaders from health care, government, tech, the military, professional sports, and more.

Radical Humility is packed with dozens of no-nonsense tools and practical takeaways, making it the ultimate actionable blueprint for a new type of leader for a new type of world.

In his memoir with a mission, Scott Strode shares his extraordinary journey from addiction to founding The Phoenix, a national sober active community that has empowered more than half a million people to thrive in sobriety.

Scott Strode drank his first beer at 11 years old. By 15, he was using cocaine. By his early 20s, he had spiraled into the bleakest nights of his addiction--alone in a dark alley, too drunk to light a crack pipe.

Then came a series of life-changing outdoor adventures--including competing in Ironman triathlons and climbing in the Himalayas--leading to a decade of profound personal growth. By the summer of 2006, Scott had nearly ten years of sobriety and a vision for revolutionizing addiction recovery.

What inspired his dramatic self-transformation?

It began with a mindset shift. Instead of defining himself first by his addiction, he began embracing his inherent strength and potential.

He also employed practical principles like his 5:00 a.m. rule: instead of staying out partying until 5:00 a.m., he worked to surround himself with people who regularly got up at 5:00 a.m. to share in meaningful adventures, exercise, and get stronger.

These practices and principles formed the heart of The Phoenix's empowerment approach to recovery and led Scott to lasting sobriety, marriage, fatherhood, and a long-term purpose.

More than a memoir, Rise. Recover. Thrive. is a pathway to hope for millions of people--and their loved ones--who are struggling with addiction.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will go to support The Phoenix.

In 2021, a new battleground in America's political and cultural wars emerged--local school boards.

Seemingly overnight, parents across the country joined with activist groups and political figures at all levels to engage in heated--sometimes violent--fights over issues such as COVID mandates, retrofitting bathrooms to accommodate changing gender representation, and the teaching of American history through the lens of race.

At the epicenter of this outrage machine was Loudoun County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and the wealthiest county in the nation.

As the county's beloved public schools information officer for more than twenty years, Wayde Byard had a front-row seat to the transformation of public education from the bedrock of community to a vicious political knife-fight, complete with death threats and arrests after riotous meetings.

But it wasn't until the sexual assault of a high school girl by a boy who was described as wearing a dress became national news that he became something he never expected--a target of a politically motivated felony investigation.

Accused, along with the superintendent, by an ambitious, conservative governor and attorney general of covering up the crime, Byard--who most students knew from his popular announcements of snow days--was ultimately acquitted of a perjury charge but left with a troubling awareness that what happened to him could happen to anyone.

The Battle for Loudoun County provides a rare and intimate window into the dangers of America's bathroom wars and the culture of outrage that, if left unchecked, will tear our country apart.

Chris Webber is a once-in-a-generation athlete and one of the most versatile big men in basketball history. From his baggy shorts, black socks, and trash talk that sparked a cultural revolution to becoming the first overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, Webber's career spanned fifteen professional seasons and earned him countless honors. But to know the real man is to look beyond the CWebb persona into the pressure-filled world of Mayce Edward Christopher Webber III, a shy momma's boy from Detroit.

Labeled a prodigy at twelve years old, Webber fought his way through the drugs, crime, and gang wars that plagued his tough childhood neighborhood to become one of the most heavily recruited high school basketball players of all time. He soon became the leader of Michigan's Fab Five, a team as outrageous as it was legendary, and a dominant force in the NBA. But with his rise to basketball heights came scandal, misconception, and forfeited wins that caused lasting controversy. Every step of the way, Webber leaned on the two most important relationships in his life for support: God and family.

By God's Grace offers an unparalleled look into Webber's story in his own words. He recounts the incredible highs of his personal life and days on the court, along with his most devastating lows, including his infamous time-out and the years of infertility he and his wife endured before the birth of their twins. Featuring never-before-seen photos, personal stories, and heartfelt tributes to the most influential people in his life, this is a profoundly honest firsthand account of one man's inspiring journey and how God's grace guided him through it all.

In the pursuit of performance and reputation, it's easy to overlook the actual health of your organizational culture. Before long, however, ominous symptoms often emerge--division, disengagement, silence, dysfunction, and destructive behavioral patterns--hindering you from delivering on your mission and strategy and eroding trust with your clients, team, and other crucial stakeholders.

To make things worse, many leaders are perplexed by culture, and typical change efforts are unsustainable and ineffective, with a staggering 85 percent failure rate. But there is a better way.

Having personally endured the devastating effects of growing up in a toxic cult, Tobias Sturesson committed his career to helping large purpose-driven organizations overcome their most daunting culture challenges. On his quest, he made a crucial discovery: that, just like our physical health, achieving a thriving culture requires a change of habits. A minor change to what you repeatedly do can have a significant impact on your team and organization.

Drawing from his extensive experience and in-depth interviews with many renowned experts, researchers, and executives from well-known organizations, Tobias has identified the four most crucial and timeless culture-building leadership habits.

You Can Culture is your meticulously researched guide to these habits, laid out in twelve actionable practices. Each practice is an invitation to growth and introspection, offering reflection questions, practical tools, and leadership actions. Suitable for managers and executives alike, You Can Culture empowers you to strengthen trust, transform your culture, be a values-based leader, and leave a lasting legacy of positive change.

Youth sports are supposed to be a space for children to receive many benefits, including teamwork, character and skill development, fitness, and most of all...fun.

Unfortunately, despite the good intentions of many coaches and parents, youth sport is often delivered in ways that are not aligned with sound research and best practices. The result too often leads to poor communication and misplaced priorities when the adults are pitted against each other and kids are robbed of a positive experience.

Dr. Amanda Stanec and Richard Way have been involved in sport--as athletes, coaches, consultants, and researchers--for their whole lives. They field questions every day from frustrated parents and exasperated coaches who want more for the kids they love. Protect the Joy provides expert answers and action steps on how to get our youth sports programs back on track.

Blending key research that highlights a stage-before-age approach and tackling difficult issues head-on, Stanec and Way help coaches, parents, and sport directors better understand how the children under their watch can get the most out of the games they play.

Instead of wins and scholarships, Stanec and Way call on coaches and parents to collaborate to create an environment of fun, empathy, and healthy physical, social, and emotional growth for all kids. When we achieve that goal, we protect the joy of sport, which is what invariably keeps kids in the game.

In Beyond High Performance, Jason Jaggard, along with the coaches of Novus Global and the faculty of the Meta Performance(TM) Institute, pull back the curtain to reveal the coaching tools they use to help the best get better.

Their groundbreaking research shows there are two types of great leaders and teams: those who achieve success once and then plateau or decline, and those who achieve success over and over again. Leaders who are able to consistently and enthusiastically reinvent themselves do so not because they are more talented or have more access to resources, but because they choose to see the world differently
than everyone else and create a distinct kind of culture. Full of ideas and insights drawn from years of behind-the-scenes coaching and training with some of the most famous leaders and companies in the world of entertainment, government, business, and nonprofits, Beyond High Performance will forever expand the way you see yourself, the people around you, and your capacity to succeed at the things that matter most.

Seline Shenoy's concept of the higher self as a nomadic soul is a lyrical, thought-provoking metaphor that leads the reader into self-exploration. --Martha Beck, PhD, Harvard-trained sociologist, world-renowned coach, and New York Times bestselling author

Discover your Nomadic Soul--a profound yet often unexplored part of everyone's identity that holds the key to everything from answering our biggest questions to finding deeper meaning and joy in everyday life.

Ancient desert nomads were seekers, explorers, and vagabonds, driven by a burning desire to wander into the wide blue yonder. In doing so, they uncovered new frontiers not just around them but within them.

This primal yearning to be more, do more, and have more lives within you, too.

In The Nomadic Soul, The Dream Catcher community founder Seline Shenoy draws from realms of philosophy, history, and spirituality to reveal a revolutionary framework for discovering your true self and manifesting a life that's exclusively your own.

Inspired by visionary thinkers and doers such as Maya Angelou, and Walt Disney, and Jane Goodall, the Six Core Needs of the Nomadic Soul present a powerful new way to think about the relationship between our two most deeply felt desires: Freedom (of identity, exploration, and expression) and Connection (with our inner world, with other living beings, and with a force greater than ourselves).

Transcending one-size-fits-all belief systems and speculative or mystical theories, the actionable advice in The Nomadic Soul is more than just a guide. It's a trusted and wise companion in your journey to self-realization, deeper understanding, and a more meaningful life.

Women face unprecedented challenges in the workplace and find themselves staring up at the glass ceiling. But what if it wasn't the glass ceiling that was holding you back . . . but rather your own sticky floors--those limiting beliefs and toxic behaviors that are within your control?

Erica is a sticky floor survivor. As a high-achieving ceiling breaker and C-level leader, she masked her struggles to everyone around her--even herself. From feelings of being an impostor to using wine to cope with burnout, it wasn't until she was faced with the shocking reality that she could lose everything that she stared down her deeply held beliefs about being a perfect wife, mom, and executive. Ultimately, Erica was able to snap out of her sticky floors and find fulfillment, and uses her stories to help other women navigate their paths to success.
