The Last Year of My Life: Ten Leadership Tools That Transformed a Deadly Diagnosis Into a Path of Renewal - Paperback

by Eeki Elner (Author), Joshua Adams (Author)

Eeki Elner was at the pinnacle of his career when four doctors told him he had stage four cancer with a prognosis of only six months to live. Eeki is a pioneer in leadership training in the business and social world. He gratefully found a fifth doctor who would help him fight. Six years later, the miracle is clear and every day a gift. But, more profoundly, Elner learned to use the tools he had been teaching others to understand their full power and importance. Part memoir, part prescription, The Last Year of my Life is a journey of self-discovery and spiritual surrender.

The Ten Leadership Tools presented in this book transcend the motivational strategies that line the shelves of business people. Instead, Elner, with writer Joshua Adams, offers a guidebook that will change how readers approach challenges as they strive to reach their fullest potential.
