Do you want to cultivate stronger relationships? Rise from adversity? Innovate more quickly? Be more collaborative? Feel more peace in uncertainty? If so, this book was written for you.

Take Your Shoes Off First is a fast and entertaining listen that illustrates how easy it is to limit what is possible in your life - without knowing you are doing it. You will be pulled into a thought-provoking story about an executive who finds a better path forward through a challenging situation by embracing one simple idea. As he learns to see himself and the world more clearly, you will be inspired to do the same.

After listening to this book, you will understand:

  • how powerful, stealthy, and costly beliefs can be
  • how easy it is to be fooled into thinking that a situation is black and white when really it is filled with a rainbow of possibilities
  • what you can do to change everything in your life for the better

As the world faces unprecedented challenges and becomes increasingly more connected, there has never been a more important time to see possibilities more clearly and learn to bridge divides created by radically different experiences.

Taking Your Shoes Off First helps with just that. This book will provide you with a set of principles that can accelerate breakthroughs and transform all interactions for the better. Be entertained while learning how to quickly improve your life and relationships! An hour today will lead to a lifetime of better outcomes, both personally and professionally.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

As a leadership coach myself, I sometimes get stuck in a habit of thinking that I already know all the things about personal development. But Julia‘s book knocked me out of that pattern and reminded me to shift my perspective back to that of a beginner—especially when struggling to find common ground with those around me.

Thought provoking

Julia provided me with this audio performance of her dynamic change coaching book in exchange for an honest review. And honestly, this book is well worth the hour and a half of your day...indeed, it could be one of the most valuable 1 1/2 hours of your time, both personally, and for your business.
Julia has successfully distilled the process of identifying and implementing, true change ( again, either personal or team-wide) into digestible, bite-size, and actionable pieces. If you have listened to as many self-help books as I have over the years, you will know that this is rarely the case, but Julia has pulled it off.
Granted, it is somewhat "top-level" and requires somewhat of a leap of faith to completely buy into the concept at times, but overall, this is a great start for someone or a team looking for help in moving from the current state to a more enlightened state.
Highly recommended!

Brisk, fun and approachable change is available!

Hard to tell 'how to’ in a story but she did.
It’s a short story but long enough to get the 'how to’.

Well said !
