How do leaders stay grounded when everything is shaking?

The Inner Game of Leadership is not just about techniques-it's about trust. It's about the unseen skills that determine whether you show up calm, clear, and congruent... or whether pressure takes the lead.

This hardback edition is designed for leaders who don't just want to cope, but to command themselves-so they can guide others with presence and purpose.

Drawing from neuroscience, behavioural psychology, and decades of real-world leadership coaching, this book reveals over twenty-five techniques for mastering your internal state:

Tension Releasor - to instantly discharge stress in high-stakes moments Dual-Mind Reflection - to balance gut instinct with executive clarity The Worry Solver - to transform anxiety into intelligent action Decision Journaling - to refine pattern recognition and long-term judgment Connect with Yourself - to build emotional congruence and embodied presence

Whether you're preparing for a tough boardroom conversation, leading through upheaval, or simply wanting to operate at your best-The Inner Game is your manual for staying anchored.

This is Volume I in the Neuro-Resilience Skills series-a foundational guide for any leader serious about mastering their inner landscape before shaping the outer one.

Leaders don't rise to the occasion. They fall to the level of their preparation. This book raises that level.

If you've ever thought, ""I had the words... but not the presence,"" this book is for you.
