"Whatever humanity has accomplished, it has done together. The benefit of leadership is a vision that brings us together to do great things, the will to do them, and the community that is more than the sum of their parts."

The Alternative Book Club has published, for your education, your enjoyment, and your empowerment, Spotlight on the Art of Leadership. Many other authors have created guides, rules, and lists of what you should do as a leader. These authors take you on their journey to leadership.

"Long before there were movies, TV, radio, books, or even written languages, humans were storytellers." ~Randy Prier

Stories capture our interest more easily than a dry recitation of facts. They bring to life experiences the teller wants to share, evoke empathy for the characters, and humanize the situations portrayed. In this compilation, the authors share their insights in how best to bring the stories within you to life.

Purchase this book on Amazon.com or Lulu.com.

It has been awhile since we have posted anything! That is about to change. As you can see, we met in person to take a group picture. Don't we look good with all our books? Doesn't Keith look sad without a book to hold? That too is about to change!!!

From Rich Hopkins:
If you've never seen it, Speak the Movie, a documentary focused on the World Championship of Public Speaking, is available on Crackle (and Amazon Prime Video, and Kanopy, I'm told). While the contest has changed, much of this movie still rings true. And 2008 World Champion LaShunda Rundles story alone makes this movie worth watching.
This is an amazing movie to watch if you ever thought about entering a speech contest.
You can find it here without creating an account on Crackle.

Enjoy the journey these speakers take in their quest for the World Championship of Public Speaking.

SPEAK follows six unforgettable characters as they prepare to compete for the title, "World Champion of Public Speaking." SPEAK is a powerful, inspiring documentary about conquering life's hurdles and finding your voice.
