Two for Tuesday - A FREE copy of my new book
Hi Reader,
I have a new book coming out, and I want you to be among the first to know. In fact, I'm so grateful for you, I want you to have a FREE copy, no strings attached. You can download it in Kindle, Ebook or PDF format.
This is a VERY short book. A shout out to Michal Naka who said I should write a family systems book for Millennials. I think it's an accessible introduction to family systems theory for people of any age.
The book releases this Friday, December 15. The Kindle version is already available for pre-order on Amazon. I'll send you an email on Friday to remind you that the print version is on sale, in case you want to order it as a Christmas gift. Thanks!
Recommendations
This week's recommendations will help you make the most of this holiday season.
Learning to Let People Be Disappointed - by Kathleen Smith (substack.com) This article will prep you for the upcoming holiday season (and for the whole year, for that matter). What would it look like if you could let other people be responsible for themselves? That's self-differentiation. Go for it.
On the Frustration of Waiting - Leadership Freak In this season of waiting, this is a reminder that how we wait matters. One benefit of living as a non-anxious presence is the ability to be present and savor every moment. I hope you will do that this holiday season.
Podcast
Episode 257 of The Non-Anxious Leader Podcast, 5 Ways Non-Anxious Leaders Facilitate Healthy Organizational Culture, is now available.
