The Spark, the Flame, and the Torch: Inspire Self. Inspire Others. Inspire the World
In Dr. Lance Secretan's latest book, The Spark, the Flame, and the Torch: Inspire Self. Inspire Others. Inspire the World, he integrates experience and theory to show us how to fulfill our destiny and create inspiring organizations. This book is typical of Lance Secretan - broad, imaginative, sweeping and radical--and breathtakingly inspiring. Lance Secretan has written many books about inspiration and leadership, but this is the first time he has taken his work over 35 years and integrated it into a unified theory of inspired leadership. Here is a masterwork, which offers a comprehensive approach to being an inspiring person and therefore an inspiring leader. Complex ideas have been distilled, in Lance Secretan's trademark style and use of fascinating stories and metaphors, into simple, easily implementable concepts, processes and exercises that explain how to inspire a team, organization or country-as well as friends and family.

ONE: THE ART AND PRACTICE OF CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP BOOK
In ONE: The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership, Lance Secretan brilliantly reframes leadership theory with a new vision for the 21st century—a vision of reconnecting each of us with our deepest human needs. He shows us how we have become detached from our innate sense of oneness and instead, have embraced the illusion of “separateness thinking.” Secretan reveals how this illusion has created profound misunderstandings about leadership and how we can, once again, become conscious leaders—through the practice of oneness.
