How to Shed Fear, Live Courageously, and Own Your Peace
Becoming a Peaceful Powered Leader is a coaching companion for leaders about how to take action and step into accountability. It aims to, and delivers on, solving the problem of needing more time, struggling to stay connected to values, and building engagement with those on your team and in your community, including ourselves.
Ended
Every leader starts out their new role with a sense of excitement, passion, and intent to take care of others. Real selfless leadership is hard. And it gets harder. Our excitement can fade, passion may dip, and our connection to the values we started with may hit a low point until we ultimately question why. Why am I doing this? Why did I start in the first place? Should I keep going?
Through this process the leader goes from optimistic and excited to struggling to find peace, stay afloat, and lead their team the way they hoped to. According to Gallup, companies have shared they missed the mark 82% of the time, on hiring high management talent. It doesn’t have to be this way though, for the organization or the leader trying to give their best.
In Becoming a Peaceful Powered Leader: How to Shed Fear, Live Courageously, and Own Your Peace, Jared Narlock, a certified human resources trainer and coach, teaches readers to explore a different view of accountability as leaders not only in our careers, but in all aspects of our life. While the book is written to connect primarily with those in leadership roles, it also is built to connect to any individual seeking inner peace in their life. It aims to, and delivers on, solving the problem of needing more time, struggling to stay connected to values, and building engagement with those on your team and in your community, including ourselves.
83% of the workforce suffers from work related stress, according to the American Institute of Stress, and rumbling with their inner peace. In this book there are tools, research, and experienced advice provided to demolish the slag weighing us down and become a truly peaceful powered version of ourselves. Peaceful Powered Leadership shares six actionable steps that help individuals own their peace. In the book readers will dive into reflection, exercises and application in the six areas of Becoming A Peaceful Powered Leader:
1. Set and Own Your Reality - The first essential and grounding foundational piece of Peaceful Powered Leadership involves accountability. Leaders who operate in an ownership mindset look for ways to grow, make a point to pay attention to what they say, and understand the power of choice. They connect the accountability they own to the way they serve those they have the privilege to lead.
2. Build Others Up - A large part of peace involves looking for opportunities to elevate others and bring gratitude forward. Peaceful Powered Leaders commit to their own success and define what it looks like for them with healthy ego management, in an effort to stay out of comparison and competition in service to others. Their narratives are kept in check and they commit to continued growth in working toward healthy ways to embrace the full spectrum of emotions.
3. Put Service to Others Ahead of Self Service - Serving others ahead of self-service decisions seems easy on paper but research shows that when faced with tough decisions leaders often struggle with the choice. A key piece in making the decision easy and maintaining peace in the process, is connecting firmly to our values and sharing them regularly in word and action with those we serve. The connection of values involves often walking the path of what's right over what is easy or comfortable. Peaceful Powered Leaders have a process that allow them to stay connected to values, role model service to others consistently and open the door to extend trust further.
4. Invest in Others - Building others up through reward and recognition is essential and taking it further with investing in others through partnership in development helps create an environment connected to engagement instead of entitlement. Peaceful Powered Leaders model the way in investment on how they create opportunities through ownership and help distinguish the difference between venting and investing with those they lead.
5. Set Sacred Time with Themselves - It's hard for leaders to be deliberate in investing in others if they aren't also investing in themselves and being deliberate in treating their development time as sacred. Sacred time is focused time for detachment and reflection. Reflection on what's going well, what's coming forward, and how can the leader best serve their team and their organization. Reflection also provides opportunity to work toward strategy in growth. It sets up a deliberate practice that keeps leaders away from firefighting and jumping from meeting to meeting, and instead creating through investment in others a team of problem-solvers and being essential in how they build strategy together.
6. Empower Yourself and Create an Environment for Others to Thrive - A common misconception is empowerment is given. This piece of becoming a Peaceful Powered Leader ties right into setting and owning your reality, as empowerment is stepped into not given. Peaceful Powered Leaders give options though, not excuses and model this process for those they serve. They understand failure is a learning experience, it is okay, and work to partner with others on focusing on their try!
Whether you're a newly promoted leader, a seasoned vet, or an aspiring CEO, this book will help you figure out what peace means to you, and how to hone your efforts and talents to create people powered moments through leadership.
Author Jared Narlock, has himself been a practicing leader at all levels of leadership, from supervisor to executive, having been a Director of People and Organizational Development for two different organizations, and a Vice President of Talent Development. He is a keynote speaker, certified coach and leadership development consultant for over 15 years. He strives to help grow the way people view their communication, accountability, and growth around professional and personal development. He works with groups of all sizes around the world, helping them find courage, step into action, and lead through influence to create workspaces that open the door for empowerment and engagement built on strong foundations of trust and communication. Jared doesn't claim to have all the answers, but he will teach you how to ask the right questions and how to take action when you find the answers.
The main audience for this book would be those in leadership roles or those that aspire to be in leadership roles.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

Looking forward to reading and applying the processes you’ve highlighted in this newest book, Jared! Your leadership and mentorship are an inspiration to me as I continue to grow as a leader!
I look forward to reading it, Jared! I have subscribed to the “Servant Leader” philosophy for most of my career. In the last year or so I have felt myself slipping into a mind frame where I felt like more of a gopher than a leader. I suspect that stems from the fact that I’ve changed career paths, and have had to learn much from those who report to me. I’m looking forward a renewed perspective! dd
Can’t wait to receive my book Jared! Miss you in Rapid!
Looking forward to reading this and learning from you! Best wishes for massive success!!
Thanks Jared for writing such a compelling book on leadership with a refreshingly new perspective. I look forward to its arrival at my home.
All the best,

Congratulation on your second book! What an accomplishment. I am looking forward to reading it.
Hi Jared! I don't believe I've ever had the privilege of meeting you, but, I used to work with your wife at BHFCU while in the Contact Center. Her stories were always fun to hear and the way she described you always caught my attention. A couple years back, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Jason Miller during his time at BHFCU and he shared similar and great things about you from his time with you at the hospital. I work with the Learning and Performance team at BHFCU and am very excited to get to hear some of your views on leadership. Thank you for taking the time to put this book together!
Regards,
Mitch Linster
