Leaders often know what they need to do, but don't have a clue who they need to be.
Being Essential presents the seven questions that will help any leader discover an authentic path to the true self and master aĀ virtuous cycle of self-awareness that fosters purpose, value, and joy at work and in life.
Without a true essence of self, their leadership can feel void of purpose and confidence, affecting both teams and stakeholders. But when leaders discover their essential selvesāwho they are at their cores and why they show upāit enables them to reach a state of "radical self-awareness," a game-changing skill that unlocks a more effective, commanding, agile approach to leadership.
For more than thirty years Dain Dunston has been coaching top executives to find the essence of their personal and professional journeys. Now readers can learn the holistic method he uses to calibrate leaders' minds for radical self-awareness and help them achieve more satisfying professional experiences.
