The Changemaker: A Leadership Story of Courage and Character
At the heart of this leadership story is the central idea that one's ability to impact others is directly related to his or her ability to lead from a place of authenticity. Sara Davis, the Chief of Staff for powerful Congresswoman Clara Becker, has come to a crossroads in her life. When Clara Becker suddenly is gone, Sara must decide what to do next. When she discovers Clara’s video diary, Sara begins to realize she has the power within her to change the world. Sara’s journey, and the wisdom she uncovers along the way, is an inspiring story for everyone. Inside each of us is the ability to be a changemaker. We simply have to dare to step into the arena.

He’s done it again - Bridwell has used the power of storytelling to communicate key leadership truths along with practical examples displayed throughout the story. This resonates with my learning style so I’m a big fan. Definitely worth the time to walk through his “______maker” series.
