THE INSPIRATION CODE: HOW THE BEST LEADERS ENERGIZE PEOPLE EVERY DAY
KRISTI HEDGES
Great leaders inspire action with their words. They spark enthusiasm and commitment. With a single conversation, they can change the direction of someone's life.

Executive coach Kristi Hedges spent years studying exactly what inspiring leaders do differently.

Eye-opening and accessible, The Inspiration Code dispels common myths about how leaders communicate?and guides them in cultivating qualities that authentically excite.
Inspired companies need inspirational leaders. Learn to unlock motivation, lift peoples' sights, and lead them into the future.
