A Journey into the Heart of the Self...

"Before you take a step You must remember to step into the darkness with courage and wonder. . ."

Dear Friends, I am writing to announce the publication of my first book, In the Spirit of Leadership: A Vision into a Different Future.  It has been an amazing and eventful journey to this moment, and I am extremely grateful for all the gifts of support I have received along the way.  It has been a path of both deep trust and great joy. In the Spirit of Leadership is a book for anyone who wants to take their leadership to the next level: it is a journey through poems, inviting a new leadership consciousness by traveling through the heart of the self. "Esposito's elegant book reaches deep into the silent center of the self, where creative thoughts arise. To spend time with the poems and meditations here is to nourish the soul." - Betty Sue Flowers, international business consultant, poet, and co-author of Presence: An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and Society and Director, Johnson Presidential Library and Museum

In the Spirit of Leadership will also be available in audio CD format - for all those interested in hearing the poems as I hear them, or if you simply enjoy listening to books.  And for those of you who would like to create your own vision into a different future, I am pleased to announce that Plumb Road Publishing is releasing a companion journal subtitled Reflections Along the Journey. "This book is the perfect recipe for living on purpose - a mystic path, solo reflection and a taste of the wild. It will feed the hunger of body and soul." - Richard J. Leider, Founder, The Inventure Group and best-selling author of The Power of Purpose; Repacking Your Bags; and Claiming Your Place at the Fire This pre-publication announcement is your first opportunity to purchase In the Spirit of Leadership, the CD, and/or the companion journal.  Plumb Road Publishing is offering a special pre-order price of $44.95 for the book, CD, and journal combined.  This is a one-time, pre-order only offer, so I encourage you to forward this email to anyone who might be interested. I carry within me the poems and questions from In the Spirit of Leadership as I move through my life.  If you would like to share your story of coincidence, synchronicity or the resonant echo of a poem from my book, please email me at ce@alexsaconsulting.com.  As always, I will be delighted to hear from you. With warmest regards and holiday greetings, Cheryl Cheryl Esposito
