I recently had the pleasure of joining Charlie Hoehn on his podcast Author Hour, to discuss my book The Duck and the Butterfly: Coaching Questions for Leaders at Work. During the episode, I share some of my favourite and most powerful questions to help you lead your life, lead others, lead organizations and create a positive difference in the world.

Had a wonderful evening at a book launch event sponsored by Valley First Financial in Kelowna. The event was held at Valley First's new downtown office at the Innovation Center (cool offices with very modern features). Valley First is an impressive organization led by impressive people.
Thanks Joy Playford of Mackay CEO Forums for helping to organize and co-sponsor the event.
And the wine..... was local of course.... isn't it wonderful to be in a city where there are hundreds of wineries making some of the best drop in Canada!

A special thank you to the clients, CEOs, friends, and family who attended the official book launch for our newly published book, Your CEO Succession Playbook: How to Pass the Torch so Everyone Wins. It was heart warming to see the support for this project in the business community.
The book addresses the human and political side of CEO succession. It helps CEOS and Boards to identify the political pitfalls that often derail the process as candidates vie for positions, and it helps CEOs to understand that a successful transition is often more about who they are being as a leader more so than the tasks that they are doing.
The CEO stories and the tips and tools in this book will guide you through this process that can be fraught with expectation, politics and emotions.
By providing self-coaching questions throughout the book will help CEOs to apply the concepts to their business, and overcome blindspots.
You will find it on amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Your-CEO-Succession-Playbook-Everyone/dp/099599580X
And, you can receive a bundle of free CEO Succession Resources at https://www.yourceosuccessionplaybook.com. This includes an E-book of coaching questions for uncovering CEO potential.
We are excited to share the news that our book – Your CEO Succession Playbook. How to pass the torch so everyone wins – has been completed and is now available for pre-orders on amazon!
