The 52 Ways and choices equip you to use obstacles for breakthroughs — not breakdowns. The 52 Ways success framework did just that for the author, Ellen Castro. What some would call beating her head on the glass ceiling at an oil company in the mid-1980s was really the devastating, demoralizing experience of losing her soul at work. That experience was her launching pad for sharing with others the way to get off the exhausting treadmill of “never enough” and onto an energizing, amazing path of happiness and meaningful success. You can, too, with Spirited Leadership!

“…stunning in its clarity and simplicity. It is profound in its insight into the essence of leadership.”
—Dr. Linda O’Neal, Center for Creative Leadership

Book Excerpts

Spirited Leadership - It's All About Trust “Show Compassion. Compassion in the workplace? Absolutely! It gives a competitive advantage and is needed more than ever today. There is enough “craziness” out there.”

“Think Before You Speak and Act. The role of a servant leadership is a privilege, a responsibility and an honor. A spirited leader is aware that every word and action has the power either to uplift and energize or deplete and squelch enthusiasm.”

“Thrive on Accountability. If a communication goes awry, they reflect, ‘Did I make assumptions? What was the intent of my communication — to correct or criticize? Should I have picked up the phone instead of sending a quick text?’”

Ellen’s Five Tips for Being a Spirited Leader are:
1. Change your thoughts, change your world.
2. We are our choices.
3. Live consciously.
4. Re-define failure.
5. It’s all about TRUST™
