Book Overview
Discover Your Leadership Compass
This book is a transformational coaching workbook for leaders and aspiring leaders who feel stuck, misaligned, exhausted, or successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside. Your values are your compass. When you ignore them, you drift. When you align with them, you thrive.

What Leaders Are Saying
This book transformed how I lead. I was successful on paper but felt completely disconnected from my work. The Values Audit helped me identify where I'd compromised my core values, and the exercises gave me a clear path back to authentic leadership.
Within weeks of realigning with my values, my confidence returned, my team noticed the difference, and I remembered why I became a leader in the first place. This isn't just a book—it's a compass for your leadership journey.
Sarah Mitchell — VP of Operations, Tech Industry
I thought I was burned out, but Esmé's framework helped me realize I was experiencing 'Values Fatigue.' The distinction between inherited, chosen, and aspirational values was eye-opening. I'd been living someone else's definition of success.
The tools in this book are practical and powerful. My Leadership Values Declaration now guides every major decision I make. I'm leading with clarity and purpose I haven't felt in years.
Marcus Johnson — Executive Director, Non-Profit Sector
As a coach myself, I use this book with every client. The exercises are brilliantly designed to create deep self-awareness. The ICA Model alone is worth the price of the book—it helps leaders understand the difference between values they inherited and values they've chosen.
Esmé has created something rare: a book that's both intellectually rigorous and deeply practical. Every leader struggling with misalignment, confusion, or loss of purpose needs this book.
