Summary

The world we live in confronts us with unavoidable, and at times unprecedented, challenges and adversities.

These experiences can – but do not need to – impede your ability to lead. Leader Awakened invites you to accept, embrace and work with difficult or traumatic events and experiences. It gives you the tools to use them as a powerful catalyst for change and enable learning, empowerment, agency and wellbeing.

Learn how to:

  • Become more acutely aware of the internal, external, personal, professional and organisational factors that affect you as a leader
  • Understand the impact of your life story on your thoughts, behaviour, values and actions
  • Discover fresh perspectives and explore new directions to see and do things differently
  • Enhance your ability to deal with and navigate uncertainty
  • Accept and face up to adversity and challenge and improve your wellbeing, relationships, agency, performance and sense of fulfillment

Critic reviews

‘Samreen shows why taking the time to build on your strengths (underpinned by life’s adversities) unlocks unhealthy patterns. This book has given me a deep and practical psychological vantage point and the inspiration to consider and reflect on how I work and live my life.’

― Morten Nilsson, Chief Executive Officer of BTPSM

‘Samreen demonstrates how leadership is not an approach that is architected; it stems from the intrinsic, grounded and core aspects of who I am and why, who I want to be and what this means for how I choose to lead others both professionally and in life.’

― Cilesta Van Doorn, Chief Marketing Officer of Global

‘Both humbling and thought provoking, Leader Awakened enabled me to relate my own personal journey to that of my professional behaviours. Putting theory into practice with Samreen is leading to significantly higher collaboration, trust and understanding in my team.’

― Mike Hallam, Managing Director of Service Express UK and Europe

Courageous and well researched - Highly recommend

I have listened to this twice and will listen again. I particularly like the way in which systems thinking and a leader’s responsibility to deliver results are infused with the reality of being human, the dichotomy of being both fragile and resilient. It really made my heart sing to hear echoes of the stoics entwined with modern day research. This book should appeal to aspiring leaders but is even more appropriate for leaders who have perhaps been in leadership roles for many years and need a fresh perspective on Leadership in the new era and to reflect on deeply entrenched behavioural patterns which may no longer serve them well. The audio experience was enhanced being read by the author herself as storyteller.

Very insightful!

Captivating right from the start. Samreen's narration adds a personal touch as she skillfully demonstrates how to transform challenging life encounters into powerful drivers for positive change. The audiobook left me reflecting deeply, offering insights that enhanced my self-awareness and interpersonal understanding.
Samreen masterfully weaves in her personal stories and client narratives, drawn from her extensive background as a prominent executive coach, seamlessly interwoven with well-researched concepts.
Don't miss out on the enriching exercises provided after each chapter – they're truly worth exploring.
