Grounded: Leading Your Life With Intention

by Nancy M. Dahl

How do you build the career and life you want - especially with chaos swirling around you, throwing out roadblocks at every turn. Only when you understand that the world isn't set up to optimize, can you begin the journey to uncover your best and lead your life with intention. Bottom life is the ultimate experience model. You don't come with an operating manual that tells you how to be your best. You just have to figure it out to find the things that work. And the discovery is never done. You have to stay engaged, curious, and willing to admit you don't know everything, so you can learn more to be your best. Dedicating yourself to the lifelong discipline of practice outlined in Grounded allows you to see what works and most importantly stay in tune with what grounds you at every turn of your journey.

The questions change as people move through their lives. In their 20s, people wonder where to begin. In their 30s, people wonder if they are headed in the right direction. In their 40s, they may begin to wonder if this is all there is. And in their 50s and beyond, they wonder what should happen in the next chapter. This notion of being grounded isn't about age, it's about attitude. Your life will have impact. Choices will be made. Grounded is dedicated to building the skill so you decide, not someone else. Your life is simply too important to leave it to chance. And if you choose to lead others, Grounded is dedicated to inspiring others to be their best because you have done the work to understand how to lead first yourself and now others.

Reviews

[Teresa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book to be very detailed with helpful and practical guidelines for effective leadership. Dahl, is inspiring and brutally honest about her leadership and life journey. The first chapter "Taking Ownership" really lays the foundation for the rest of the book. I read the book in parts and tried to take in the wealth of information Dahl lays out. If you want to improve your life and truly make a difference in the workplace, then this book is for you!

I had the privilege of receiving this book as part of Goodreads giveaway and the opinions listed above are solely my own.
