Description
Nothing can prepare you for a fatal diagnosis.
Business leader Eeki Elner faced such news when multiple doctors told him he had stage four lung cancer and a prognosis of only six months to live.
Using the principles and tools of his leadership training experience, he was determined to fight for whatever time he had left. He gratefully found a fifth doctor who would help him win against all odds. Six years later, Elner’s life path overcame what could have been a short-lived dead end. Now, more profoundly, Elner uses his experience to teach others to find and fulfill their full power and capabilities.
Part memoir, part prescription, The Last Year of My Life is a journey of self-discovery and spiritual renewal.
The Ten Leadership Tools presented in this book transcend the motivational strategies that line the shelves of business people. Instead, Elner, with writer Joshua Adams, offers a guidebook that will change how readers approach challenges as they strive to reach their fullest potential.
