Acclaimed YUM! Brands CEO and author of the New York Times best-selling leadership book, Taking People With You, David Novak, teams up with Jason Goldsmith, the coach to some of the world’s best PGA golf stars, to bring you groundbreaking lessons on personal growth and professional development.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOU teaches you the secrets to self-coaching. Everyone could use a good coach to help them reach their full potential. Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough good ones to go around, and the ones that exist are often too expensive or sought-after for most of us to even consider hiring them.

But that doesn’t mean you should go without! Your life is too important to leave your personal growth and professional development up to chance. Take Charge of You helps you define for yourself what you want out of life and give yourself what you need to succeed.

Written by two highly successful coaches from the worlds of business and professional sports, this book provides a straightforward process that will guide you on your self-coached journey to success, including:

  • Getting into a coaching mindset
  • Using all 5 senses to spark your brain
  • Visualizing success
  • The practice of neutrality
  • The action of belief, and more

Chock full of stories, exercises, tips, and questions to ask yourself to spark insight, it’s designed to provide not just the knowledge you need, but tools you can use to create real, lasting change so you can lead a more fulfilling and successful life—now and well into the future.
