Lead with HEART: Dear Leader, Set the Tone and Do It First

Leadership isn't about position-it's about presence.
It's not about having all the answers-it's about having the courage to go first.

In Lead with Heart, executive coach and leadership strategist Kathy Taylor invites leaders at every level to step away from performative leadership and step into the bold, quiet power of authenticity. Through poetic reflections, heartfelt letters, and practical wisdom, she reminds us that the true work of leadership starts within-with Honesty, Empathy, Authenticity, Responsibility, and Trust.

This isn't just a book. It's a mirror and a movement. A call to those ready to shift from compliance to connection, from management to meaning.

Whether you're leading a boardroom, a classroom, or your own comeback, Lead with Heart offers you tools to:

• Build trust in high-stakes environments

• Communicate with clarity, care, and conviction

• Strengthen your leadership through relational intelligence

• Make decisions rooted in purpose, not pressure

• Inspire a culture that values people as much as performance

If you're tired of leadership that feels like a performance and ready for leadership that feels like purpose, this book is for you. Because when you take care of your people, your people will take care of your stuff. And when you lead with heart, you create a legacy that outlives any title.
