I know Lindsay as a brilliantly talented coach and I was therefore eager to get hold of her book. It’s an excellent read offering great advice, examples, and with practical pointers at the end of each chapter. It’s impressive that she has covered so much sensible advice for leaders in this short, jargon-free book. It’s a must-read for anyone working in business (and non-business)! -Gerard Harkin, Director of 3inno Ltd.

Lindsay touches on important topics for leaders and coaches alike. In today’s global marketplace Lindsay highlights the need for those who can lead effectively across diverse cultures and generations, building trust and engagement through their own authenticity and emotional intelligence. Lindsay points to what lies at the heart of all of this – self-awareness, and a number of routes to develop it, including mindfulness.

Very informative and insightful. This is the forward book for a person seeking guidance, and lack leadership skills, but has the potential and skills to be a great leader
