Be the Hero: Three Powerful Ways to Overcome Challenges in Work and Life [Paperback]

An executive coach shares essential advice on how to succeed by being your best self—even at your worst moments.

Everyone faces frustration and stress, but we don’t have to let these challenging moments take control of us. In Be the Hero, executive coach Noah Blumenthal introduces us to the way of the “Everyday Hero” and shows how to turn self-defeating thoughts and behaviors into heroic actions.

All day long, without even realizing it, we tell ourselves dozens of stories about other people, our situations, and ourselves. These stories shape our emotions and behavior, making us think and act like either a hero or a victim. Be the Hero shows you how to choose the stories that lead to personal and professional success.

In the tradition of the best storytellers, Blumenthal weaves a tale of a young professional’s journey from victim to hero, one that is both captivating and profound. The powerful resources at the end of the book, including a hero tip of the week, smart cards, manager tip sheets, and more, will help you make your hero stories stick.Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith
