What if the most important leadership meeting you could attend was the one you had with yourself? In a world that rewards leaders for looking outward — for strategy, results, and the management of others — the inner life of the leader is often left unexamined. Lead from Within is a daily companion for the journey inward. Written by licensed therapist, certified professional, and leadership development expert Akemie Jones, MS, LMFT, LCAS, CPTM , this 365-day guided reflection book offers one carefully crafted thought prompt for every day of the year — each one designed to deepen your self-awareness, strengthen your emotional intelligence, and help you lead with greater intention, empathy, and authenticity. Inside you will find: • 365 unique daily prompts organized around the five pillars of emotional intelligence: Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Empathy, Social Skills, and Motivation • Seasonal and weekly themed prompts that honor the natural rhythms of the leadership year • Generous reflection space on every page for your private written responses • A personal foreword, a practical guide on how to use the book, and an introduction to the science of emotional intelligence • A contemplative, unhurried tone that meets you wherever you are in your leadership journey This book is for the leader who knows that the quality of their leadership is inseparable from the quality of their relationship with themselves. It is for the manager who wants to be remembered as more than productive. It is for the executive who is ready to look inward. It is for every leader, at every level, who is willing to ask the questions most people are too busy to ask.
