For the past several months, I have been thinking about starting a mentoring group. As a result, I have bought several books on the topic. However, the best one I have read so far is Mentor Like Jesus by Regi Campbell. In a moment, I will tell you how to get a free copy.
As I was thinking about starting my group, I looked at numerous models, including Seth Godin’s special (and very innovative) internship program. Based on that and some other input, I developed a a fairly detailed plan that I was very excited about.
I was all set to issue an invitation to my program when a friend suggested I read Regi’s book. Boy, am I glad I did. It made me re-think everything. As a result, I have now taken an entirely different tack. I plan to blog more about this later this week.
Here’s the problem: We traditionally think of mentoring as having the following characteristics:
- The mentoree initiates the relationship by approaching a prospective mentor.
- The mentor and the mentoree agree to meet one-on-one, usually in an informal setting.
- The mentoree drives the agenda by virtue of his questions.
- The mentor does his best to offer advice on personal and professional matters.
- The relationship really has no official ending point.
In Mentor Like Jesus, Regi turns all of this on its head by simply looking at the example of Jesus. He says,
We have visualized Jesus as CEO, Jesus as an environmentalist, and even thought about what Jesus’ politics might have been. But in reality … in history … regardless of your religious beliefs, Jesus was a mentor.
He then goes on to describe the eleven characteristics of what he calls Next Generation Mentoring. Each of these are the subject of a separate chapter.
- It is on purpose. Mentoring is an intentional relationship that is unlike any other. Regi says it is not about knowing something. That is education. It is not about learning to do something. That is training. Mentoring is about showing someone how to be something.
- It is a selfless endeavor. Mentoring is about giving back to others. It is hard work for the mentor. The benefits are not always immediately apparent. It is about the mentorees and investing in their future. It is about them, not about the mentor.
- It starts in a group context. Jesus did meet with people one-on-one. He also spoke to large crowds. But He primarily worked with a group of twelve men. He mentored in the context of a small group. This was His priority.
- It involves hand-picked mentorees. The twelve disciples did not chose Jesus; He chose them. He did so after praying all night (the longest prayer mentioned in the Bible). As the mentor, He took the initiative, not the mentorees. He chose them—and they responded.
- It is for a defined period of time. He gave His disciples just three years of His life. He could have started earlier. He could have started later. But He began definitively, and He also ended definitively. His discipleship program lasted three years.
- It is centered on truth. Jesus taught His mentorees about truth. He focused on the Scriptures and living life in a way that pleased God. He told parables and stories. He asked tough questions. But it was all for the purpose of having His mentorees confront the truth about God, themselves, and the world.
- It involves the practice of prayer. One of the disciples’ first requests was, “Lord, teach us to pray” (see Luke 11:1). Jesus not only taught them to pray, He prayed with them.
- It requires transparent modeling. Jesus’ mentorees saw Him in the good times (e.g., the triumphal entry into Jerusalem) and the bad (e.g., the Garden of Gethsemane). They saw how He reacted to daily life. What He did spoke as loudly as what He said. He was completely and utterly transparent.
- It incorporates a contextual component. Jesus appointed twelve “that they might be with Him” (see Mark 3:14). They saw how Jesus responded to daily life. They saw him confront injustice, face temptation, and weep publicly. He did not offer theoretical instruction. He “did life” with them.
- It demands mutual commitment. Jesus’ discipleship program was demanding. He asked his mentorees to make a radical commitment. This was not a lowest-common-denominator program. Their relationship with one another took priority over everything else—for Him and for them.
- It requires a multiplication element. Ultimately, the disciples’ relationship with Jesus wasn’t about them individually or even their own group. It was about the people they would ultimately reach. He required them to “pay it forward” and invest in others (see Matthew 28:18–20 and 1 Thessalonians 2:8).
If you are thinking about mentoring, you must read this book. It is relatively short—only 152 pages—but revolutionary. It is my prayer that it launches a movement. I hope I can play a small role here by giving you a sense of its potential.
Just to prove how valuable I think this book is, I am recommending it to you despite the fact that it was published by B&H Publishing Group, one of my company’s competitors! However, they have graciously made 100 copies of Mentor Like Jesus available to my readers. To get a chance at snagging one, you must take the following three actions:
- Leave a comment below. Tell me why you want this book. Be creative. I really do read these comments and base my decisions on them.
- Fill out the special form. I have set up a separate contact form to make it convenient for you to provide your mailing address. Please do not put your shipping address in your comment. This will automatically disqualify you.
- Twitter a link to this post. You can do so automatically by clicking here. If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can use Facebook. Yes, I know if more people read this, it will hurt your chances of getting a copy yourself. But the only incentive the publisher has to provide these books to giveaway is the free publicity that you and I collectively provide.
On Monday, November 30, I will select 100 people, based solely on my arbitrary and subjective evaluation of their comments. If you are one of those selected, Lindsey Nobles on my team will notify you via email. If you don’t hear from her, you can assume you didn’t make the cut.
Update: If you are interested in joining a mentoring group, read this.
Building Champions has been coaching me since 2002. They have taught me to be more proactive and intentional in both my business and personal life. Visit their Web site to learn more and see their special offer for my blog readers.

I'm a church planter in Charlotte, N.C. and we are working hard to establish a culture of mentorship in the early days and want to be equipped and equip our leaders to walk along side all of the new believers at our church. I would absolutely love to take all of my small group leaders through this book to equip them and empower them to begin mentoring people in their groups.
Hi Michael. I work at a University where we are creating a four year student leadership development program with an emphasis on servant leadership. One of the assumptions that we are building off of is this: "Students simply need a guide to catalyze their leadership growth." I think this book would be extremely helpful in this endeavor.
I was just talking last night with a godly man who was challenging me on what my 2010 plan regarding discipleship would look like. I kept insisting that I stick to a study like Discipleship Essentials with 2-3 other guys, but he was persistent in saying I needed to focus more on one individual and do ministry 2-by-2, like Paul and Barnabus. I would love to receive a copy of this book, but will put it on my Christmas list if I'm not picked – it sounds to good to pass up. Thanks for a great recommendation.
I don't want a copy of the book, though it is without doubt inspirational, earnestly, technically well composed and the author is a fine Christian leader, writer — and mentor!! (not because Thomas Nelson didn't publish it ;) ). The book can be expected to contain much well-presented and Biblically supported practical advise.
It is simply that no one can ever "mentor like Jesus".
The best "how to" book by Jesus remains The Bible.
I guess I haven't learned everything I want to, yet, from my favorite author.
I typically mentor people in a one-on-one format and I've mentally wrestled with the idea of intentionally mentoring in a group setting. My biggest challenge in mentoring is that I've never had a set strategy for mentoring. So far, it's been a little of this and a little of that; This and that being, prayer, serving and eating dinner with my family of five (soon to be six).
Based on your review of Mentoring Like Jesus I can be more specific about the process of mentoring others. I believe, like Regi describes, Jesus sought out the 12 rather than the 12 seeking out Jesus. Mentoring happens both ways for sure, but it's nice to be the hunted and found attractive by great leaders who see greatness in you.
I am a church planter in Memphis, TN and currently launching the church. Of course, I am trying to develop leadership within the church and would love to gain any insights into helping me be more effective at doing this great task. Obviously, on a church planters budget I am limited on resources that I can purchase. :)
Michael – thank you for your perseverance and impact you make – I love to read but with 2 small children, housework, a husband and trying to write – my daily quiet time amounts to about 30 minutes if I am lucky. Sometimes, if I don't pass out by 9:30 pm, I snatch some reading time but it hasn't been as often as I want. I am haunted by your comment "readers lead and leaders read." I do my best! :)
My wife and I are preparing to lead a small group in our church. My natural tendency is towards the command-oriented model of leadership; I'm trying to find resources aimed at leaders coming alongside people rather than leaders standing out in front banging the drum and expecting people to fall in line. Your description of the book sounds like it'd be a perfect fit. Thanks for your consideration.
I was talking to my wife about starting a mentoring group in Jan. and she smiled saying, "I think you really need to read this 'Mentoring Like Jesus' first."
How does this book differ from Robert Coleman's "Master Plan of Evangelism?" I remember reading that book years ago and being impacted by its simple observation and wisdom drawn from the life of Jesus Christ. Your comments highlight the challenge of discipleship and its purpose–to expand the Kingdom of God through the influence of Jesus Christ.
My sports coach helps me think through how to tweak my performance and my career coach helps me navigate the corporate maze. The critical things — my wife and children — are too valuable for me to leave to my own vices. Mentors I have worked with in the past have been integral in helping me think through how to be intentional and deliberate with my family. A focused narrative on Mentoring would be an extremely valuable asset.
Aside from my professional role in HR, I am very involved in my church. Recently, we began a younger women's Women on Mission group and this would be a great group to help mentor. Additionally, I work with young girls in our church and feel that there could be no better mentor to follow than Jesus!
Michael,
Thanks for the recommendation for this book.
The insights and logistics for starting a mentoring group written by Regi have been an inspiration and will continue to be a resource. I am now praying about how and when to start a group.
This is my first year as a children's pastor and by God's grace I have found a mentor who has been a children's pastor for 30+ years. He's great, but wanted to give him something that would help further our mentor/mentee relationship and try something beyond the typical mentoring experience as you so aptly described!
I mentor several college ministry students (about 5) at present. However, I need to "step up" the goals and process of these mentoring relationships. Your investment of this book into my library is an investment into future generation of Christian leaders. Thanks for the post, the review and the offer of B&H Publishing for making this resource available!
What a fantastic looking book. Since we are beginning a campus pastor mentorship program this would be a great book to have as a resource. Already those points from your blog post have made me think a lot about the process.
I know I'm way beyond the 100 comments but this will be a book I look more into…thanks Michael for always being such a great resource.
Ready for this story:
Next semester I have to train and lead 12-13 new interns (in tandem w/ three other people). But I'm 19 and not currently equipped to do that. I'd say I could use this book. :)
I realize I'm not much of a leader, though I try. So this is for my boss, who is a good man and has been a mentor to me. He is a natural leader and someone I support. I think this book would compliment his talents.
I am a vol. coordinator for preschoolers at a church in SC. We have realized that it's impossible for as individuals to personally care for & mentor to 70 volunteers when Jesus took on 12. So we are starting Key Leaders that we have prayed about and picked. We will care for these few and pour into them. I want to make sure that I am living, praying, leading, them the way that is purposeful and effective as Jesus did. If it's not done through life and done purposefully i feel as if it won't be something they keep with them and pass onto the people thay they pour into. I desire with great passion to be an effective mentor. Help :)
How exciting to hear about this resource! It sounds like a paradigm shift in mentoring and even evangelism. This would be a great book to use with our small group at church. I can see this resource helping our group journey together while reaching out and investing in others through what we discover about ourselves and God.
I have tried a mentoree/mentror approach with men who volunteered in the minstry I was leading. I did it completley opposite of what this book talks about. I was not transparet because I did not want them to see my failures and I approached it as me teaching them something I was an expert in. I feel this book would change my approach as we go about making disciples. Who better to learn from than Jesus.
Mike, I am reading this book right now. Actually started reading it this morning and then learned that you had this post. A wonderful book. I had difficult putting it down. I have lead a number of mentoring groups through the years. This will alter what I do. Thanks.
I am excited to see such a huge response to your giveaway of Regi Campell's book "Mentor Like Jesus." While it significantly decreases my chanceof being selected to receive a free copy it encourages me greatly. Mentoring is a biblical principle. Yet over time it has become somewhat buried. As a result we have a growing number of immature believers on our hands. In all actuality it is our fault. We've failed to work the plan that was modeled by John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul the Apostle, as well as so many others.
A few years ago, after 20 years in ministry, I returned to school to pursue a degree in BIblical Counseling. I saw such a lack of one-on-one relationships in the Body of Christ. True biblical counseling is mentoring, one-anothering, or discipleship.
I've read quite a few books related to discipling.Unfortunately they do not provide a model that works well for me. Thus this book would be invaluable to me as a mentor.
Mike, I really need to read this book. Ever since I wrote Why Men Hate Going to Church, I’ve known there’s something wrong with the way we disciple men. I’m getting ready to launch a men’s discipleship group that will eventually mentor 72 men the way Jesus did in Luke 10. It sounds like this author is tracking with me. Pick me!
I would be really interested in reading this book because I have recently been placed in a unique situation. For the past few years, I have served as the Dean of Students at an awesome Christian middle and high school. I have enjoyed the opportunity to work alongside our students to watch many of them come to Christ and many more grow in their relationship with Christ and with each other. Just a few weeks ago, our principal resigned, and I became the principal of our middle and high school. I now find myself in the midst of an incredible opportunity to mentor almost 500 students as well as lead 50 teachers and staff. We have an incredible team and I believe that God has prepared us all for this season. I want to make sure that in all I do, that I point people to Jesus. I think this book would be a great resource for me in this quest. Thanks for considering it Mike and again for always making such good resources available to leaders!
My church here in Florida is starting a Mentoring Program in January called one to one. It is based off Paul's charge to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1-2, "You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." We are going to be having life on life relationships with another man and studying scripture. Our hope is to entrust the word to faithful men who will teach others also. We hope to see disciples multiply based on this approach. I hope to receive this book in order to maximize this opportunity. In the illustrious words of Christian rapper LeCrae, "we need disciples who make disciples, disciple cycles." I hope everyone will be benefited by this read in fulfilling the great commission.
I've recently found myself unexpectedly in the role of mentor. I teach a college girls' class and have realized that these girls want much more than a teacher–they need a mentor. But me?
I need some direction as I try to chart a course alongside these super-impressionable girls. I want to help them become all that God wants them to be and avoid fashioning them into clones of myself.
What I want is to mentor like Jesus. This book seems perfectly suited for my need.
Having been in several failed mentoring relationships (I was the mentoree), I typically blamed the mentor for lack of initiative, or myself for lack of time, etc. After reading this post, maybe it was due to a lack of vision and purpose from both parties. I am in the midst of starting a non-profit, that will have a mentoring component. This book appears to be a great resource not only for that, but for future mentoring relationships that I could be involved in.
the steps to get there (we all start somewhere, most start at the beginning). I agree w Regi, it's not teaching, it's Showing HOW we do it. "Our Experience Life Story" – the good, the bad and the ugly… REALITY! "We are HUMAN & human's WILL will fail [or as I like to say "off track or set back"] but …2/3
God's WILL never fail US." Mentoring also involves being the best LISTENER you can be because w out that quality you won't keep a mentoree for very long!!! Life's purpose IS about COMMUNICATIONS period. Whether verbal or none verbal… or another words [IF one stays w Jesus] Life is about Spreading the Word of God. 1 far warning re: Mentoring though, don't allow yourself to be dragged away from Jesus or you'll find yourself where I ended up… back at the beginning!!!!
*Note to Michael ~ I apologize for the rude comments in the past ~ You've no clue of my life this past year so plz don't assume I'm your nightmare. It's been the worst possible 2yrs ever AND I'm still a "baby at the beginning" AGAIN! Full of Knowledge w lots of experience but little Wisdom in the Bible! ~Hang w me – cause things are CHANGING "One Day at a TIME"
Joni, your comments must not have been too rude, because I can't even remember them. I think that's a good thing! May the Lord bless you as you conform to his image. I am learning one day at a time, too!
I am wiling to buy he book. I posted my nme and title but not my address for that reason. Mt g-g-grandfather was Precaeptor to the Archduke Karl of the Hapsburgs. In those days,( early 19th century) mentors were Field Matshalls, great literati, philosophers, and saintly men and women. I speak and write in 3 languages. I lecture on the early Fathrs of the Church Saints and on Jesus life, I am a Roman Catholic and so, I think someone who belongs to a Christian order would benefit more from the book. I do enjoy your blog and read it faithfully. How about reading mine?

I would love a copy of this book to help me pour into the young church (with a special focus on men) we planted a few years ago. Spiritual Maturity is a must and leadership development is a 2nd must. The future of our church and transformation depend partly (in a big way) on the authenticity and spiritual maturity of our community. This will only happen starting with a few and allowing it to multiply. I also am looking for guidance in this area, so this book would somewhat mentor me in this area.
(from Montreal, Canada – one of the least reached NA cities)
I have been feeling very strongly that God wants me to be in a mentoring role for others, particularly women who are struggling as single Moms or women whose husband don’t share their same faith. I have started to try to process this and think through how I could do it. But, I was definitely using the model that we are all aware of and you mentioned in your blog. This way of looking at mentoring is so much more powerful, and I would love the opportunity to learn more about it.
I am a missionary, and as we are building our team and maing disciples it is important to have the best methods available. Obviously, the best methods are biblically based, and this book seems to highlight a biblically based model. I am a leader and therefore a reader, and I want to read about the best way to mentor the young men on our team!
Don't need a book – have far more than I read now (want some?) Just wanted to say that "Mentoring Like Jesus" is a lot like what we did/do as a "sponsor" in AA… GIVING of ourselves FREELY to mentor "Newbies" thru the Big Book of A.A." and to show them HOW we've stayed sober & LIVED life as Jesus would after taking… 1/2
Mike, I rarely post a comment on anyone's blog. I may forward posts and share the information, but that is the extent of my involvement. I have been reading your posts for the past couple of years now. I appreciate the insight and the candor. You have a lot to offer and have found the platform to offer it. This particular post really grabbed me. I have yearned for this kind of mentorship that you mention here. Throughout my careeer (I am in my late 30's) I have sought out Godly men to learn from them, and try to learn what it means to be a true Christ follower, and at the same time, be a successful business person, husband and father. We have moved a lot, climbing the corporate ladder. Key men have influenced my life, but I have never found a true mentor. I wish that I lived in Nashville. It sounds like your heart is truly about investing into others. I would love a copy of this book, if for no other reason, than to learn how to become a mentor myself someday. I have been around some great leaders and some very poor leaders, but even the great leaders didn't know how to mentor and raise up the next generation of leader that they could pass the baton to. Keep up the great work.
Michael, much of what I’ve seen that’s called “mentoring” or “discipleship” is programatic instead of relational. I would like to help “turn all this on its head” as well, by learning and applying mentoring priciples the life of Christ. Regi’s book will undoubtedly help me do that become a better mentee or mentor in the process.
I oversee operations of a group of faith based pregnancy community clinics in the Orange County/LA area. So many of our employees are young women and our clients are young and lack role models in their lives. I have been looking for materials to create a mentoring program for these young pregnant women and their dad's to be. We have a group of men committed to mentoring young dads but no formal program. I'd love to read the book
I would love a copy of this book! I am currently learning to be a life coach and am also a small group leader at church. My place of employment has just launched a leadership development program called LaunchPAD and we all could stand to learn from this book. The LaunchPAD program humbly aims to develop young, urban leaders in Garfield Park (a community in Chicago) who will be a voice to their generation and have the potential to revolutionize the idea of community. These men will live in 5 dorms we have set aside here at the BTMC. This is an 18 month program.
Through a collaboration of faithful men, women and Staff, these participants will walk along side their network to foster personal growth through purpose driven structure and cultivate healthy relationships with God, man and each other.
The LaunchPAD Program focus is to help it’s participants pace out their own vision for the future, constructing a healthy expression of cultural diversity by seeking racial justice and equality needed to catapult its young men and others into healthy leadership roles within society.
We are called to be disciples who make disciples for Jesus. As a GenX Episcopal priest who did the unusual thing of going straight from undergraduate to seminary, I am among the few GenX clergy with some time served, so to speak, and feel called to mentor newer clergy of our Generation. The description of this book leads me to ask, who should I seek out to mentor… among new clergy, and among my parishioners who seek to live lives of service to our Lord.
The challenge for me has been to start mentoring a group of single young men ('m a single, more mature guy). I seem to have ticked a lot of the boxes mentioned in the list of eleven chapters, so I'm greatly encouraged that I'm doing it right. Inviting the guys to 'follow me' implied I was worth following and could help guide them towards something worthwhile. 'Is that pride?' I asked myself. In the end, I realised it was the way Jesus did it, so it was probably just a statement of truth And there was much rejoicing when they all said 'yes!' (as it turned out 4 out of 6 have committed to the group). We meet weekly for prayer, scripture memory (big chunks, not isolated verses), preaching practice with critique, plus accountability with one another re thought life, since we're all hot-bloodied, attractive single blokes in need of support from one another to walk the walk. So far, two months in, it's been fun, real, spiritual, bonding, and envied by outsiders, too.
Hey Michael,
I have a cousin who is losing his marriage and asking for help. I have friends who want me to mentor them in business. I have staff that look up to me for guidance. With all of this I struggle to find just the right program to help them all. I have used Christ's examples many times in my counselling to others but never thought of how His actions could be used as a mentoring program. I would be very appreciative of this book!
I run the women's meetings in our church in Germany and want to start Mentoring to move on to the next level. So many of the ladies come to consume, but aren't getting actively involved. Last year 256 ladies attended 5 meetings and we're only 300 in our church – so we want to get these ladies into an active relationship with Jesus and with others.
For 6 months now we've been looking for a good book on mentoring, but nothing as yet has been a good fit. The way Jesus did it is a GREAT starting point! Thanks Michael – I get a lot out of your Blogs and Twitters. In fact your interview on the Catalyst Podcast got me into Twitter!!!
Perhaps this is the answer.
My husband and I are Deaf leaders in our local church, as well as leaders in the Tabernacle Mission. We are small group leaders and care for some deaf christians in our home area where they need to be encouraged to continue in their Christian walk. Hence this idea of mentoring is an excellent way to enable us to better disciple them to grow. We would love to have this book as I'm sure that you would like an insight from a deaf Christian perspective.
I'm so glad I've had an opportunity to read your blog this evening, been busy writing exams this week so I haven't had a chance to drop in. I read todays (wed 25-11-09) blog before reading this one, so you'll gage from my comment that mentoring is really close to my heart. I believe in mentoring, it's tangible,it's relational, it's often practical and the best part is, the mentor often imparts from learned experience.Point 4 jumped out at me, I love it that the mentors chooses the mentoree and not the other way around. I'd love a copy.
I manage a coffee shop on a college campus that acts as a college ministry for my church. Our goal is to affect the lives of everyone that comes in there (about 200 people a day) by connecting to people in a relational way. Whether it's by remembering patrons's names or orders or by connecting with them and forming bonds through conversation and/or expression, we want to make people feel at home. It's my personal goal to disciple to people as Christ did. I don't just want to do things the "traditional" or "accepted" way. I want to do things the way Christ did them. The best way possible. I think that this book would help me to disciple, build relationships with, and mentor students at the university in the most effective way. Christ's teachings aren't for one generation or one type of people, they are for all people. And only His teaching style will help me to affect a demographic group that feels like nobody understands them. This book will hopefully help me enhance my teaching/discipleship/mentoring.
I would love a copy of this book because I am actively trying to follow Jesus' example as I reach out to college students at Purdue University. Just last week I had coffee with two students who recently made big faith decisions, and they said that they want to do what I do. I'm planning to meet with them regularly as I continue to coach others on their spiritual journeys. This book seems like it would offer a fresh perspective on mentoring and impacting others. And if it's as good as you say it is, I promise to pass it on.
Thanks for making these available and have a great Thanksgiving!
I have mentored only three Guys in my life, and all three of them, like you first suggested, came to me. They wanted to get involved in the industry that I work in (Professional Audio – Sound for the entertainment industry) and wanted me to teach them. I worked with them all at different times and I'm very pleased to say that they have all gone on to have successful careers in the said industry. But, not only professional success – all three have gained a reputation of being honest, hard working and men of integrity in an industry that is not really know for those three virtues. I am just about to start in a new international business and this time it is down to me to choose the people who I work with…it will be a very close working relationship with the people I choose and I have been looking for a book that would help me to mentor my team – not necessarily in the skills they need to do the job from a professional point of view – but more in the way we conduct ourselves in business – to become how my first three turned out – honest, hard working and know within the industry for their integrity…to stand out, be different from the others around them…and yes, to shine a light in an industry that is know for it's debauchery. Non of us are perfect – and God Knows I'm really not, so I need all the help I can get. Showing others the way to do life and helping them to display their creative uniqueness is a huge and daunting responsibility!
I agree. However, Jamie underplays the essential nature of the way his Christian faith informs his choices in business, serving churches wih sound reinforcement and recording. His skills are respected within his industry, and the young men he has mentored have each developed excellent businesses, underpinned with integrity and honest dealings. I cannot recommned Jamie highly enough. He deserves a free book. Give him my copy, if you like.
I can think of three reasons why I would like this book. The first is that I work in leadership development for women and mentoring is a big part of what we do. I often feel like I am making it up as I go and need to read more.
The second is my husband is a pastor who does mentoring as well and this is on his wish list so we could both read it.
The third is that I will send you a book on mentoring written by my colleague, Lynn Smith, who works with me at http://www.nextlevelleadership.ca
And a bonus reason – I think if you recommend it that it must be a good book. I appreciate your insights and comments and have been disappointed so far!
