In the wake of the consequences of an unprecedented global pandemic crisis, war, and turmoil, we are thrilled to present Activate Success: Tips, Tools, and Insights to Be A Leader In Your Niche. This book equips you with our three-pillar model that involves Self-Discovery, Change Readiness, and Sustainable Impact. You can use this model to help yourself navigate through the complexities of work and life.
The sheer enormity of a global crisis shook the world of work to its core, and we instantly knew that the world would never be the same again. People lost family members, friends, and neighbors as the crisis ensued, swiftly budding into havoc that grew to mayhem and confusion. People quietly began leaving their jobs in hoards and this led to the 'The Great Resignation'. Workplace jargon changed and expanded into a new language that required different procedures, organizational practices, systems operations, human resource applications, AI, and different innovations.
Agile business practices were desperately needed at the three levels of individual, team, and organization. The workplace was evolving rapidly, and the workplace could not keep up. Many leaders were hoping that things would return back to normal with expeditious healthcare.
As expert leaders, we never assumed that things would return to the old ways. Why? Because crisis, war, and turmoil changes people. In our quest to understand how we could use historical events to adapt to a radical change, we observed that employees were yearning for empathy, never prioritized in workplaces before. They needed the creation of something new that could keep up with a new set of values that replaced the old ones with empathy, psychological safety, and wellness.
We witnessed extreme shifts in workplace retention, as droves of individuals made the decision to enter into a new reality at home to stay with children, aging parents, and pets. The world crisis highlighted the emergence of a future employee, where belongingness, connection, and engagement emerged as requirements for the creation of a new workplace.
Activate Success will assist you to easily identify what you value most and especially during transition times, so you can better rethink the way to success for your future. We know that your spirit, soul, and intuition have also entered the new workplace. We know that you are thinking about creating something existentially greater than yourself as you bring your new values into the workplace.
We encourage you to move forward through our three pillars model, and workbook. We give you the roadmap for storytelling, so you can create your own action plan that can support your well-being at work and in personal life. Both lives have a profound effect on each other. A new, improved, nimble mindset will emerge and activate success.

Review :
The world pandemic brought to light that people have numerous choices in their life. Work life has thrown companies into a state of flux, change, and choice. It is a challenging time in history and so we must capitalize this context to create new definitions for leadership.
When I heard that two female leaders were publishing a book on leadership, I wanted to lend my support to the perspective. They bring a novel standpoint that addresses expectations for self-leading and leading others through specific essential questions of life.
As you read this book, you will begin to gain an understanding of how you can navigate through a myriad of contexts. This means that there is an individual responsibility that is at the forefront of your life for awareness, acceptance, behavior, and action.
You will see that this book is intentionally designed to assist you through self-discovery, change, and impact that can lead to a positive change and supports continuous learning.
-Shawn E. Boynes, Chief Executive Officer, American Counseling Association - www.counseling.org
Activate Success has the power to change lives, transform people, and shift journeys to a more positive place. I have known Sandra for many years, and she is a friend and colleague. She and Sujata have been making a positive difference on this planet for many years and they both continue to work hard to make this world a better place for us to coexist.
The same values that I represent in my book, "The Moral Compass," are the same values that these ladies hold dear to transforming the potential that resides in all of us. It is through self-discovery and growth that you can rise into the 2.0 of yourself.
There have been incredible leaders, male and female, throughout history that have had a strong moral compass rooted in integrity and compassion. My goals are the same in that we must stand up for something greater than ourselves so we can leave a legacy and impact this world. Not many females write about leadership so this is a great chance to have a perspective that can embrace integrity-driven success, so use their tips and tools and start integrating them in the work you do.
-Moe Rock, CEO, Los Angeles Tribune, Author of "The Moral Compass"
For anyone seeking success in the workplace, this book is a must-read. It provides actionable insights into strategic thinking, effective communication, and fostering a positive organizational culture. By promoting continuous learning and emphasizing strong leadership qualities, "Activate Success" becomes a valuable companion on the journey to personal and professional fulfillment."
-Marty Apodaca, MA, LPCC, CCC, NCC (He/Him/His) Manager of Career Counseling, UNM Office of Career Services
Based on 50 years of work in the career development field, I feel this book on leadership is exciting in that it is written by two women who have combined their expertise to greatly help you.
-Dr. Marilyn Maze, Executive Director, Asia Pacific Career Development Association
Two extremely bright, resilient, and capable leaders have gotten together to inspire this world through their intellect, knowledge, wisdom, and ideas.
They communicate empathetically on multiple levels to a wide variation of audiences across cultures and socio-economic spectrums. They had the great idea to put their heads together into actionable steps to improve the lives of others.
-Robert Ian Bonnick, Business Growth Strategist in Indonesia
