Synopsis

Do you wish you TOOK MORE CHANCES in your LIFE and CAREER?

The biggest regret most people have later in life is what they didn’t do rather than what they did.

This compelling book from business leader and executive coach Kip Knight is a fascinating collection of real-life stories and lessons learned.

Kip, the co-author of Crafting Persuasion: A Leader’s Handbook to Change Minds and Influence Behavior, believes the best way to share powerful and motivating insights is through stories. Learn to Leap has a wide and unique collection of them.Have you ever wondered what it would take to walk in off the street and get an executive position at a Fortune 500 company? Or what it’s like to meet with the National Security Council in the White House? Or how to psych yourself enough to walk barefoot across a hot bed of coals?

With each story, the reader can draw their own lessons on how to push themselves to try new things and learn how to become a better person and stronger leader. Each person’s life is a unique, separate, and remarkable journey. We all have opportunities and situations throughout our lives that vary dramatically in risk and nature. Some are easy decisions; others pose difficult choices. Learn to Leap is written for anyone who has a dream but isn’t quite sure how to make it a reality.
