When leadership feels heavy, frustrating, or ineffective, it’s a signal—one that points back to how well you’re leading yourself.
I Lead Me challenges the myth that leadership is about having all the answers.
It starts with the daily choices you make—especially under pressure, in setbacks, and through uncertainty.
In this practical and story-driven guide, leadership expert John Bentley shows you how mastering self-leadership unlocks the trust, resilience, and clarity you need to lead people well in today’s demanding and fast-changing work environment.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Rewrite the story that's shaping how you lead
- Turn emotional triggers into tools for clarity and growth
- Build trust by leading with empathy and emotional awareness
- Influence with purpose—without relying on position or power
- Navigate pressure, burnout, and setbacks with confidence
Whether you're leading a company, a team, or simply yourself through change, I Lead Me is your guide to growing the kind of leadership that earns trust, inspires action, and creates lasting impact.
Leadership isn't a title you hold. It’s a choice you make—starting with yourself.
