As our world evolves, so must we. The Leadership Reset is more than a book, it's a transformative journey that reshapes how you lead at work, at home, and within yourself.

"You don't need more noise; you need a reset."

What begins as a chance meeting becomes a journey of unlearning, reflection, and rebuilding. Through honest dialogue, hard truths, and small but profound moments, Lance begins to question everything he thought leadership required. Told through the lens of a story and grounded in real-life leadership struggles, including the lingering impact of the pandemic and the challenges of a shifting workforce, The Leadership Reset is a moving guide for anyone ready to lead with more trust, intention, and humanity.

You'll gain the clarity, courage, and practical tools to:

• Reconnect with your purpose

• Build trust that lasts

• Lead with intention—not just direction

The workplace has changed. The pressures are real. The old playbook is obsolete. This isn't theory, it's the reset today's leaders urgently need. Proven strategies used by leaders at organizations you know and trust.

Includes a free companion manual to help you apply the principles and launch your own leadership reset immediately.
