Power of Intention on CD.

The Radical Leap was given to me by one of our great Seniors, Sexy Rexy. It reminds me, in a fun way, that Leaders life on the edge, outside their box, and are called forth to be bold and audacious in their choices. This is not comfortable (of course), and it is necessary to create connection and love in the world.


What are some other good Leadership and/or Transformational Books?

- Fri Aug 12, 2005 9:09 pm #40 There are a bunch I've read that have helped me grow. The Power of Focus by Canfield, Hansen & Hewitt. Also, The Power of Now by Eckard Tolle. From a business point of view I've enjoyed Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Cashflow Quadrant. The Four Agreements by Ruiz is wonderful... :shock:

- Fri Aug 12, 2005 11:56 pm #42 I really liked The Radical Leap, too. Another good book is The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable.

- Sat Aug 13, 2005 10:30 am #43 I own a bookstore and I recommend lots of transformational books to my customers. My new favorite is "Pronoia is the antidote to paranoia: how the whole world is conspiring to shower you with blessings" by Rob Brezney. The book is witty, irreverent and deep, and I learn something new everytime I open it. The format is set up so that you can read it front to back, or back to front, or open it randomly (which my favorite). Brezney doesn't make the claim the global transformation WILL happen, he claims that it already IS happening. Get yourself a copy and be inspired.

- Sun Aug 14, 2005 4:06 pm #49 Recently I read Dr. Wayne Dyer's 10 Secrets to Inner Peace. The first secret landed for me and that one is "Have a mind open to anything and attached to NOTHING". It's so simple. But at the same time it is really not that easy to accomplish. It is incredible the number of objections and biases I have unearthed in myself just from applying this one secret.

Out of the ten secrets, there is something for everyone. While I was reading this book, I wanted to go out and buy a copy for everyone I know.

Love and belief,

- Sat Aug 20, 2005 11:22 am #58 I am reading The Success Principles, How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, by Jack Canfield. I have given it as a gift to several people that have graduated from the trainings. These principles are the same ones that we learn about in the trainings: vision & committment, setting goals, measuring results, RESPONSIBILITY. There is even a study guide that I have copied and I have declared that I will present workshop before the end of 2005. This will never take the place of the trainings. (There is nothing like the experience - I say the reading touches my mind - the experiences touch my soul.) This is one way that I can give back.

- Tue Aug 23, 2005 5:13 pm #82 I am reading a super great book - called passionate marriage - it shares how our sex lives are just like we do everything in life - another reflection of ourselves - it also shares how to create intimacy in relationships - anyway - I love the book.
Lori - use this one for the upcoming sexuality workshop
I have The Book of Secrets by Chopra on tape and I listen to it over and over - everytime I hear something else I can use in my life as a leader. Get that one
I am also devouring A Course in Miracles - the thing about this book is that every sentence can leave me deep in thought - like every sentence is a book in and of itself. The book is SO TRUE - a bible of transformation.
A few great books - also - The Architecture of Abundance and Getting Real. . . this is a topic I can go on and on about.

- Tue Aug 23, 2005 10:05 pm #85 I just finished "Invisible No More" By Renee Fisher, Joyce Kramer and Jean Peelen. This book came out of the work these leaders completed after they took Mastering the Art of Relationship about five years ago.
