The Modern Leader's Journey
A Coach's Guide to Presence and Impact in Turbulent Times
You've built the résumé. You've earned the title. But somewhere between the last promotion and now, a gap emerged—between your performance and how you're perceived, between the leader you are and the one this moment demands.
The Modern Leader's Journey is your field guide for closing that gap.
Drawing from over 25 years coaching senior leaders through their most critical transitions, this book reveals what separates leaders who survive disruption from those who transform through it.
Inside, you'll find:
Proven frameworks including the Fear-to-Presence Model™, the Hidden Job Description™, and the AI Disruption Equation™
Practical tools for navigating high-stakes moments, difficult conversations, and leadership transitions
Real coaching conversations showing how leaders move through self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and executive loneliness—and emerge more grounded
Strategies for leading with authenticity in an era of constant change and AI disruption
Guidance for aligning your inner clarity with your outer impact
This isn't another book about productivity hacks or leadership competencies. It's about the inner work that makes outer impact sustainable—whether you're stepping into a new role, rebuilding after setback, or ready to lead at your highest level.
The climb was outward. Your next ascent is within.
