The Person in the Chair: Becoming Your Authentic Self - Paperback

by James Protin (Author), Olivia Behanna (Foreword by), Betterbe Creative (Cover Design by)

True authenticity comes from living in your heart, not in your head.

Inspiring people aren't necessarily born that way. Often, they are the ones who make their own paths, who spend more time on rock bottom than on top of the world, and who are open with their stories and love to give others a hand toward their goals.

Author James Protin hasn't always considered himself to be inspiring ... or even someone you would want to grab a coffee with. But placing one foot in front of the other, he has walked through the darkest times in his life-divorce, bankruptcy, depression, and job loss, to name a few-and wants to share what he discovered about life, about himself, and about our place in the world.

This book is a collection of lessons learned, motivational thoughts, and stories culled from the good and bad experiences of his life so you can feel your way through your own life.

It's based on the five pillars of leadership that James's father taught him by "sitting in his chair"-by taking the time to advise and inspire because it mattered.

In this book, you'll discover how you too can be-

• Brave enough to truly live.
• Open enough to truly love.
• Humble enough to truly learn.
• Connected enough to truly pray.
• Vulnerable enough to truly inspire.

All the things that make life worth living and help you be a true leader.

Whether you already know that you want to lead with heart or you are just trying to find your way up from rock bottom, you'll love letting James sit in your chair to help you be more.
