In times of massive change, it is more important than ever for each of us to tap our inner reserves of wisdom, creativity and resilience to rise up to the challenges and opportunities that face us as individuals, organizations, and communities. The Pinocchio Principle is a roadmap to help you get back to the basics of who you are, what you are here to accomplish, and how you can leverage your best and worst experiences to lead authentically - regardless of your vocation, title or role. Drawing from her experience as an executive coach and using Pinocchio as a metaphor, Diane Bolden guides you through a process of learning to integrate your head with your heart, utilize your intuition, challenge your limits and move out of your comfort zone to unearth your greatest work while inspiring others to do the same. The Pinocchio Principle blends wisdom with inspiration and humor and includes numerous stories and examples of personal and professional transformation as well as practical tips and tools that will help you become a true leader to others in the only way possible: by first leading yourself.
