In July, the Speakers Without Borders Speakers Bureau published Leadership in Trying Times:Advice to Lead and Succeed. It is co-authored by 18 bureau members who provided their advice, insights, and recommendations on urgent and timely leadership-related topics ranging from resilience in disasters to making powerful decisions. "The topics our experts write about in Leadership in Trying Times represent the tip of the iceberg of their knowledge, experience, and program topics,"  Segal said.

"It's never too late — or too soon — to see how your leadership skills could or would measure up when the chips are down. The book is packed with practical advice for anyone who wants to build or bolster their ability to lead employees, co-workers, companies, or organizations," said Arnold Sanow and Amy Twiggs, who co-edited the book and wrote two of the chapters The book is available as an ebook and paperback from Amazon at this link: https://amzn.to/3hbFGHZ. An audio book version is scheduled to be released next month.
