“This book is amazing, I had so many ‘aha’ moments. Although not really a self-help book, I’ve learnt so much about myself from Cillín, I’m now more comfortable being me and more aware of my personal rules, I didn’t realise I had so many! The wisdom Cillín shares has enabled me to become more resilient, a better leader, and most importantly, a better parent.” ~ Luke Johnstone. Director, Double-O Consulting.

Are you frustrated with how some people ascend the organizational ladder at lightning speeds and you can’t seem to get on that first rung?

Have you ever wondered what the core skills are you need to successfully become an authentic leader?

First, Lead Yourself
First, Lead Yourself not only tackles the biggest problem in leadership development that holds millions of people back from achieving their full potential, it weaves together the essential ingredients required for your own success as a leader. This book is full of practical tools, exercises and insightful stories that will accelerate you along the path towards achieving your leadership goals.

Backed by research into personal change, high performance, resilience, and advanced communication skills, First, Lead Yourself is the perfect guide for anyone looking to step up and lead.

First, Lead Yourself is not your ordinary leadership book. It doesn’t tell you how to run a team, set a strategy, or lead a business. What it does do is to give you the tools you need to become the type of person that people will naturally follow, a leader that gives off an air of genuine authenticity.
Focusing on the key aspects of self-leadership, the core topics in this book are:
– Developing self-awareness
– Building resilience
– Advanced communication skills

‘Working with Cillín as my coach over the last few years he has taught me many, many tips, tricks, techniques, and strategies to inspect and learn about myself so that I can grow in my own leadership journey. This book is an amazing toolkit collection of those teachings and I for one am extremely grateful to have it all pulled together in one place. I can see that my own copy of this book is going to be well thumbed through and dog-eared before too long. Cillín’s story telling and real life examples make this book memorable and, most of all, enjoyable to read.’ ~ June McClintock. Manager Products, FMG.

‘Cillín’s book is not only beautifully written, it is full of thoughtful and useful advice – the sort of advice that works in the real world. Recommended.’ ~ Clarke Ching. Author of Rolling Rocks Downhill and The Bottleneck Rules, Speaker, Coach.

<strong>FURTHER PRAISE FOR <em>FIRST, LEAD YOURSELF</em></strong>

‘”I have had the pleasure of working with Cillín Hearns in my professional career and I was very excited to read this book. This was an inspirational and helpful book indeed! His approach is very practical and there is something for everyone to take away from this book whether you are dealing with work, colleagues, kids or many other aspects of your personal life. I enjoyed how Cillín was able to relate his personal journey into the books narrative; it showcased his honest and pragmatic approach to life and used real life scenarios to demonstrate methods and ways to improve one’s self. This isn’t a book you would read only once – this is a book that you will hang on to and pull out time and time again. I highly recommend to friends and colleagues alike.’ ~ Mariska Carlson-Smith. General Manager, Velocity.

‘First, Lead Yourself by Cillín Hearns certainly isn’t the stereotypical paint by numbers approach to coaching books. Instead it is full insightful stories of someone I have got to know but didn’t know. A book about how to become extraordinary for the average person. Open, Read, Think.’ ~ Nick Roberts. CEO, Momentum Consulting Group.

‘Our team has been fortunate to experience transformational work with Cillín. Now, with First, Lead Yourself, his self-led development approach mixing stories and exercises is available to everyone.’ ~ Stevo O’Rourke. Director, Ocular.

‘Too often books about leadership jump right in at the high level. Generally the author is a success in his particular sphere of influence and as such anticipates his readership will also be operating at a similar level. Seldom is there a book about leadership that recognises the single most important factor; leadership of self. In First, Lead Yourself Cillín draws from years of experience in the corporate world where his leadership and coaching has assisted many in getting started on their leadership path. His book is a reflection of that graft and journey. Written with unapologetic vulnerability and full of useful, tangible tactics that we can all use to improve or begin our leadership experience, this book is so much more than just a leadership “instruction manual.”’ ~ Stew Darling. Founder of the Lead through Life Programme and stewdarling.com

‘An insightful journey in finding out more about yourself and understanding what is important in your life. Cillín makes this come alive through practical exercises that help to develop your self-understanding and values. One of the many aspects of this guide I like is that once you have read the whole book you can re-read individual chapters that you wish to develop and get an even deeper understanding. A must read for anyone wanting to go through self-development and understanding so that you can better work with, and lead, others.’ ~ Gee Sing Rahi. Customer Engineering Competence Lead, Nokia.
