Have you ever heard someone say, 'If only life came with a set of instructions'? Success coach, Lisa Stephenson has - hundreds of times. Almost every client utters this at some point in some form. Read Me First is the book she now gives them.
It is also the book she wishes someone had given her when she found herself suddenly single with three young children and needing a new plan.
'Life is awesome, then it's hard, then it's awesome again, ' says Lisa. 'When you get to a difficult stage - in your personal or professional life - then this book is essential reading before you set out to write the next chapter in the story of YOU.'
Read Me First will challenge your thinking then provide a structured way to reflect and take action. You'll find quotes for inspiration and questions to ask yourself. Most importantly this is about doing the work on you ñ do that, and you will grow, you will change, and you will succeed. When you change, so does the world around you. That is Lisa's promise.
This book alone will NOT change your life, but YOU can, especially after reading this first.
'... that unique blend of warmth, empathy, wit and smarts...' - Mia Freedman, Co-founder Mama Mia
'An approach that sets the standard when it comes to building strong and independent leaders.' - David Hornery, Co-CEO, Judo Capital
'Lisa is an unstoppable force in supporting people to transform their lives.' - Jacqui Lewis, Founder, The Broad Place
'I really enjoyed this! The author went a lot deeper than other similar books and she was really good at pushing when needed. Including her personal story helped build up trust, and the exercises were worthwhile.' - Charlotte Duff, Editor
