"I am absolutely convinced that leaders must embrace transpersonal action to enable thriving in and out of work - we must urgently put our egos in place and be radical, ethical, authentic and emotionally intelligent in as many contexts as possible".
Dr Tony Wall, Professor of Transformational Management & Learning and Head of the International Centre for Thriving, UK
"A global pandemic changed the way millions of people want to work and the leaders with whom they choose to serve. Transpersonal Leadership in Action is a must-read for those who lead and those who aspire to be leaders.

This book is a trusted guide to coach you on your leadership journey as you navigate the realities of digital transformation and change, honorable diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, and the unexpected crisis that will test your limits and impact your company culture. Learn to perform with purpose, hone your empathy, and develop others to create the virtuous cycle of doing well and doing good."

"In my business experience, unfortunately, I believe not every leader aspires to be a radical, ethical, authentic leader who is emotionally intelligent. Maybe because it is hard work. Maybe some of these same folks simply don't know how to become that kind of leader. Transpersonal Leadership in Action may not change your desire to be a transpersonal leader, however it can and will change your ability to become the leader the business world, actually our entire world, needs now."
