• Effective ways to develop a professional presence that’s powerful, authentic, and effective.

 “Nailing It”

Salafia examines traits we inherently develop when faced with personal and professional challenges. As a result, we can now understand the skills and preparation required to “nail” a presentation.

Another key area for me was the author’s ability to share narratives from real-life clients. These focused on individuals who struggled and succeeded in getting past their self-imposed limitations. There are many great lessons here.

Rookies and Veterans

Leading From Your Best Self shows that it is consistency and reliability that builds the reputation of a leader.  A “rookie” or a young professional is largely judged on their best performance.

Conversely, the reputation of a “veteran” or an experienced professional is often based on their weakest performance. As expectations rise based on past strong performances, an experienced leader can be relied upon to reproduce past success.

Knowing the Difference

Understanding the craft of leadership is essential to bridging the gap between an occasional strong performance and reliable effective leadership. This book presents the tools needed to develop this understanding.
