Palo Alto, Calif., Oct. 31, 2023— Launched today, Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired (Waterside Productions) by the highly-regarded psychologist and executive coach Yosi Amram, Ph.D., introduces a fresh perspective on leadership and offers practical insights for individuals and leaders seeking to inspire and empower authentic and purposeful leadership.
In Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired, Dr. Amram, a pioneer researcher in spiritual intelligence, provides a compelling roadmap that equips leaders with the means to connect with the true source of their authentic power and presence deep within themselves. Within this book, he explains that spiritual intelligence profoundly shapes our experiences and functionality in all aspects of life. Through research as part of his doctoral studies in transpersonal psychology, Dr. Amram found that spiritual intelligence begins to grow when we connect to the depth of our being, our spirit, whereby we are naturally inspired, empowered, and are most inner- and inter-connected.
“Spiritual intelligence is not religious belief in a higher power or deity, but rather our life force emanating from our connection to the core of our existence – our spirit,” said Dr. Amram. “We cannot inspire others unless we are inspired ourselves. Through my latest book, Spiritually Intelligent Leadership, executives and other leaders will learn how to motivate their workforce, build, manage, and inspire high-performing teams with heart, to lead thriving organizations, all while experiencing greater fulfillment and joy.”
In Spiritually Intelligent Leadership, Dr. Amram provides real-life case studies of CEOs who confronted and overcame substantial challenges within their work settings through spiritually intelligent leadership. With each quality and dimension of spiritually intelligent that is outlined in the book, Dr. Amram incorporates “Your Turn” transformative exercises for readers to put the concepts into practical use in their own lives.
Dr. Amram will host the official virtual launch party on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, at 1 PM PT. You can register to join here: weavinginfluence.zoom.us.
