Praise for UNLEASHING YOUR INNER LEADER "A 'must' read for all business leaders. Be prepared to be inspired! Vickie Bevenour's (Coach Vickie's) approach to discovering your 'inner leader' is engaging, incisive, authentic, and pragmatic. A can't miss formula for professional and personal growth." -Debbie Murtha, Retail Consultant (former Senior Vice President of Macy's and May Department Stores) "This book has universal value to anyone aspiring to or already occupying a leadership position. Its greatest strength is the articulation of the simple yet powerful notion that we each OWN our leadership potential. The follow-on notion that we can optimize that potential as leaders by demanding excellence of ourselves becomes the challenge to the reader. The author then offers a great series of learning devices to enable that growth. The end game is the recognized requirement by the would-be leader that sustained excellence comes only with his or her commitment to the lifelong self-awareness and improvement cycle that keeps us current and viable as leaders." -James M. Loy, Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard (Retired) Senior Counselor, The Cohen Group "Vickie masterfully uses real leadership growth stories to coach us on how to manage our value, not just our careers. She illuminates a sustainable path to personal and professional fulfillment by showing us how to create and leverage high self-awareness to ultimately leave an inspiring legacy." -Horace McCormick Jr., former Vice President, Human Resources, Fidelity Investments and Executive Coach "Filled with real coaching vignettes and thought-provoking exercises, it's just like sitting down for one-on-one coaching with Vickie! Whether you ead the book from cover to cover, or work through it a section at a time, you will emerge from it a changed leader." -Melissa Bennett, Clinical Director, CareCore National
