Lead Yourself to Success Ordinary People Achieving Extraordinary Results Through Self-leadership

Lead Yourself to Success is your personal guidebook to greatness. Alan Chambers has led many expeditions to the North and South poles but you don't have to lead a national team or a multinational corporation to be successful, as long as you can lead yourself. The desire to learn is human nature, and lessons from those who have been where you want to go are extraordinary opportunities. You gain the insight and guidance you need to get there, and learn how to lead your own expedition down the path to success.

Like any adventure, good preparation is key. You don't take off for the North pole on a whim, and you don't just leap into leadership without understanding the responsibilities it entails. This book shows you how to develop the leadership mindset to get wherever you want to go in life, trust your own judgement and come out on top of the world.

• Uncover your inner leadership potential
• Learn how others succeed
• Find the adventure in everyday life
• Lead yourself on an expedition to greatness

Alan helps thousands of people every year unlock the door to higher performance. Every single one of those people was a leader waiting to happen, even if they didn't know it – but once they truly realised where their potential could take them, they became unstoppable. Let yourself become unstoppable with Lead Yourself to Success.

Alan Chambers is an internationally-recognised motivational speaker. Alan is a polar explorer and adventurer, who led the first successful British team to walk unsupported from Canada to the Geographical North Pole. He has since led many expeditions to both the South and North Poles, and incorporates themes such as motivating, leading, inspiring, and developing winning beliefs and behaviours, into all of his expeditions and everything he does.
