58 Years, One Birthday Wish, and the CORE Leadership Journey

Celebrating 58 With You, a Birthday Wish, and a Small Ask

This week, I’m turning 58.

I don’t hide my age. I feel humbled, grateful, and shaped by each one of those years and all the experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to live and learn through.

And in the spirit of celebrating with you, I’ve decided to reduce the Kindle price of CORE Leadership to $5.80 until June 1st.

Birthdays tend to make us reflect. Over the years, one thing I’ve learned is that giving often brings just as much happiness as receiving. Sometimes even more.

So this birthday, I wanted to use the opportunity to do more of what inspired me to write CORE Leadership in the first place: help people lead their lives with greater intention, purpose, and self-awareness.

I wrote this book because I believe that the hardest person we will ever lead is ourselves.

So many of us operate on autopilot, driven by old habits, inherited expectations, and patterns that no longer serve us. CORE Leadership was written to help people step out of that autopilot and lead themselves more intentionally.

The CORE framework helps readers:

  • Clarify who they want to be and what truly matters to them
  • Operationalize their intentions into consistent action and habits
  • Reflect so they can respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically
  • Evaluate the gap between their intentions and their impact

In other words, it is about leading from the inside out.

And this framework has not only changed the lives of my clients and readers, it has changed mine as well. It has helped me lead with greater purpose and intention, especially during challenging moments and important transitions in life.

Hundreds of people have already purchased the book, and I would truly love to hear from more of you.

So here is my birthday wish.

As of today, CORE Leadership has 50 Amazon reviews. I would love to reach at least 58 reviews, one for each year. But honestly, I’m aiming higher.

In Hebrew, we often wish someone “until 120,” a blessing for a long and meaningful life. So why not aim for 120 reviews as well?

Why more reviews?

Reviews help more readers discover CORE Leadership. They build credibility, increase visibility on Amazon, and help the book reach people who may benefit from its message. Every review helps expand the impact and momentum of the book, which means a great deal to me.

So if you’ve read the book and found it meaningful, I would be incredibly grateful if you took a couple of minutes to leave a review on Amazon.

And if you have not yet read it, this week is a wonderful opportunity to discover it for just $5.80.

Thank you for being part of this journey, for your support, encouragement, and kindness along the way.

Here’s to continuing to grow, learn, reflect, and lead ourselves with greater intention, one small step at a time.
