Read “The Summit Within” – with Learning Cohorts!

Ever feel like you’ve been thrown into the deep end of leadership? One experience stands out for me – standing at the base of a towering volcano in Mexico, a team of expectant faces looking to me for direction and thinking: “Am I really prepared for this?”

That pivotal time – and three decades of leading teams since – has inspired me to capture essential leadership wisdom in a story that resonates with emerging and seasoned leaders alike.

Not Just Another Leadership Book

The Summit Within follows Maria, a young leader who steps into her first leadership position only to discover that technical skills alone won’t get her – or her team – to the summit.

As Maria navigates the challenging terrain of Izta Volcano (and her own self-doubts), you’ll uncover practical wisdom for your leadership journey:

• Leading with authenticity by bringing your whole heart into your leadership role
• Building genuine team connections that foster trust and psychological safety
• Cultivating a “we, not me” mindset that transforms individual contributors into a cohesive unit
• Implementing collaborative problem-solving that ensures all voices are heard
• Embracing transformation through effective coaching and constructive feedback
• Creating supportive processes without sacrificing genuine human connections

Designed for Busy Leaders

If you are balancing multiple responsibilities while developing leadership capacity, you’ll discover actionable steps in each chapter. The included discussion guide and reflection questions make this perfect for:

• Individual leadership development
• Team book studies
• Mentoring relationships
• Leadership training programs
