We all need a kick in the pants from time to time, and Justin Patton provides a deep dive into what’s holding us back for achieving our true potential (and even figuring out what that is). He offers exercises, questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and other ways to take care of ourselves first and act like champions. Patton, an executive leadership coach, quotes the gems of insight from the big names in the field such as Oprah, Simon Sinek, and Brene Brown, but he also adds plenty of stories about success from people in his life and others who have inspired him. It’s these stories that make the key points that lead to breakthroughs in leadership, business, and life (as his subtitle promises). Of particular interest was his chapter on body language, which tells so much about a person. Listening is another trait we all need to develop.
