Description
Emily is a career-driven thirtysomething with big ambitions and a young family. She is making an impact as a leader at a tech company, but after being passed up for multiple promotions, she finds herself at a loss for how to improve. Fate answers her in the form of a kind—and surprisingly direct—older man in a coffee shop. A well-respected CEO before he retired, David has deep and rich leadership knowledge. Emily needs direction, and David is the perfect mentor.
Growing Influence offers readers both practical advice on how to develop leadership skills and a relatable account of one woman’s growth by applying the principles in the book. Unlike nonfiction business books or business memoirs, this story is a business fable that is both impactful and transformative.
Advance Praise
“Growing Influence is a powerful and transformative story about leadership that is perfect for anyone facing adversity and desiring a new approach and mindset. I found David’s lessons for Emily humbling yet encouraging, and the book inspired me to reflect on my own leadership development.”
— Tyler Andrew, president and CEO, Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific
“I love that this isn't your typical instructional guide on leadership; it's a beautifully written story about a mentor who teaches a young woman valuable lessons for life and business. Growing Influence is a unique and powerful book that will inspire readers. It should be mandatory reading in corporate America. Highly recommended!”
