That’s what I’ve spent the past 10 years researching and doing. And that’s exactly what you’ll discover in my new book,The Confident Leader.

My name is Dr. Larina Kase. After receiving my MBA and Doctorate in Psychology I spent years doing leading-edge research at the world-class Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at University of Pennsylvania and running my own executive and small-business coaching company.

What I discovered during that period not only changed my own life…allowed me to build a thriving consulting practice, write several books (one of which became a New York Times best-seller), and change my clients’ lives and businesses…

But it also led me to discover the breakthrough research that reveals why people stay the way they are…what steps anyone can take to reliably go to the next level, with predictable and measurable results…

…and the exact order in which people should take those steps to consistently achieve dramatic growth, change, and success.

Make no mistake: you actually won’t find this level of research and scientific validation in most other business and leadership books

What exactly will The Confident Leader help you accomplish?

Here’s a Preview What You’ll Be Able to Do After Applying What You Learn in Part I:

• Get clear on the change you want to make and whether you’re ready to make it (p. 3)
• Avoid the six most common mistakes that leaders make when trying to change (p.11)
• Know the four things you need to achieve exceptional goals (missing one of them will make achieving goals “beyond your reach” haphazard at best) (p. 14)
• Stop making the fundamental error that causes you and your team to constantly “ride uphill” (and start making change and growth far more enjoyable and fluid) (p. 20)
• Understand how to make change more consistent successful with the Five Stages of Change (pp. 21-29)
• Determine whether it’s right to “jump right in” or take the change you want to make more slowly and deliberately (p. 31)
• Hire and collaborate with the right people, for the right reasons (and know why you need to work with others to get the best results…even if you’re a “lone operator”) (p. 36)
• Lead people with the style that best suits your team and the situation (p. 37)
• Shift your language and communication style to get buy-in—and not resistance—from others (p. 43)
• Ask yourself the million-dollar question to determine whether you should take an opportunity or not (p. 56)
• Learn the right balance between “thinking” and “feeling” your way into the right decision (p. 61)
• Take confident action with high-pressure, “in-the-moment” decisions that hit you by surprise and demand quick action (p. 62)
• Change your most frustrating and common habits that prevent you from changing with a simple three-part formula (p. 65)
• Understand why some anxiety is actually the key to success (and why resisting or ignoring all anxiety can lead to results we don’t want (p. 68)
• Stop letting healthy anxiety turn into unhealthy anxiety (many go-getters make this mistake, to the detriment of their well-being and, at times, their work) (p. 75)
• Handle anxiety with composure—and without getting lost in your emotional experience (p. 77)
• Use the “principle of habituation” to get the best results from your team, partners, customers, and everyone else you interact with in your business (p. 79)
• Navigate through the “paradox of control” and avoid getting the opposite results from what you originally intended (this is a subtle yet critical distinction that most of us don’t understand) (p. 85)
• Break the cycle of debilitating nervousness and exhaustion by learning the key differences between compensation and overcompensation (p. 89)
• Learn how to do the opposite of what you normally do (and are afraid to stop doing) to get exceptional results (p. 91)
• Develop the ability to focus with the appropriate degree of intensity (many achievement-oriented people are actually over-focused and get worse results because of it (p. 92)
• Use your strengths in the right way (instead of over-relying on them or discounting them altogether) (p. 94)

After you’re finished with Part I, you’ll have an entire formula for getting outside your comfort zone and achieving what you previously couldn’t.

 Part II teaches you how the world’s most successful people turn problems into incredible opportunities for growth and change—with real case studies and interviews with today’s leading experts, such as Seth Godin, Tim Sanders, Annie McKee, and Joe Vitale.

Here’s What You’ll Be Able to Do After Applying What You Learn in Part II:

• Apply the Harvard-defined principles of achievement, significance, legacy, and satisfaction to keep the big picture in focus (pp. 101-102)
• Use the one question you need to ask yourself to avoid tunnel vision and regain perspective (p. 104)
• Reduce “Urgency Addiction” by determining whether the tasks in front of you are both urgent and important (pp. 106-107)
• Think bigger about who you are and what you offer to the world (p. 110)
• Become more optimistic while still being realistic about failure (p. 119)
• Regularly enter states of “flow” and learn how to manage your energy more consistently and reliably (pp. 122-126)
• Realize your explicit and implicit motivations, and frame your goals to capitalize on which motivation inspires you most (p. 131)
• Use the right language and incentives to motivate others based on cutting-edge research in relationships and management (pp. 136-138)

• Use the STING formula for ending procrastination when you’re faced with a typically challenging task that you’d typically avoid (p. 156)

• Tailor your communication style to connect with others without losing your authenticity (p. 206)
• Take the lessons of “antileaders” like Sir Richard Branson and tailor them to your own leadership style (p. 212)
• Apply Seth Godin’s wisdom of the “Purple Cow” to get outside your comfort zone and be remarkable (pp. 216-217)
• Create the optimal level of tension with your team, employees, clients, and partners to bring out the best in you and them (p. 221)
• Not get stuck in the “Sucker’s Choice” and instead look for the “and” that can make all the difference (p. 225)
• Bring out the best in the people you can’t stand (pp. 227-232)
• Inspire innovation and change by framing it in the right way (p. 234)
• Create an “authenticity revolution” in yourself and others (you’ll learn from my client Joe how he used it to transform his company’s culture) (p. 241)
• Take small and big actions each day that develop your confidence, leadership, and sense of accomplishment, meaning, and fulfillment…and get you unbelievable results (p. 243)

As you can see, the particular combination of research and real-world results I share in The Confident Leader is both new and unique in its comprehensive and systematic approach.
