Hello,

I would like to update you on my co-authored book, Finding Your True North, and on the public three day True North course Bill George and I are teaching in October.

First, Finding Your True North shipped over 15,000 copy in its 1st two weeks. The Personal Guide builds on the ideas of True North (which has sold over 100,000 copies) with two hundred pages of new content and sixty exercises for individuals and groups to use to develop their leadership. The Personal Guide is designed for individuals who want to develop their leadership abilities, corporate leadership development and training programs, academic courses on leadership, executive coaches, leadership teams, and discussion groups.

The book is now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, my publisher Jossey-Bass, 800CEOREAD, or your local book store.

Second, The October 21-23 True North Course is an opportunity to experience the key insights from our work first hand. Program participants will learn how to follow their internal compasses, discover their own authentic leadership, and tap into their inherent ability to foster dynamic growth and successful change -- both within themselves, and their organizations.

Sincerely,

Nick Craig
