Susanne Madsen Intl. • Developing Project Leaders

How to Do the Inner Work (also as audiobook)

Lasting change often begins within. How to Do the Inner Work is a practical and compassionate guide to understanding yourself more deeply, working with difficult thoughts and emotions, and changing patterns that may be holding you back.

Through practices centred on self-awareness, values, breath, meditation and emotional healing, the book helps you become more grounded, resilient and intentional in how you live and relate to others.
​
These inner capacities matter in every part of life — and they are also at the heart of effective leadership. Before we can lead others well, we need the awareness and inner stability to lead ourselves.

The practices in the book can help you: 
​
  • change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour
  • transform feelings of doubt, fear and overwhelm
  • protect your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing
  • restore balance and strengthen your connection with yourself
  • live with greater meaning, purpose and intention

​This is a great and inspiring book
Susanne has gathered the core elements and key insights to bring you the essence of project leadership. This book should be your personal development tool for this year!" – Birger Kontek, Senior Change Manager, VP, Barclaycard
​A fantastic workbook
"On a whole this is a fantastic workbook, as it considers vital elements of what needs to be considered throughout the project lifecycle. As this is written from a coaching perspective it is written for you rather than a text book which has a rigid path. By making you think about what you wish to achieve, and the type of PM you want to be, it really plays on your experiences and makes you think about how you can improve all aspects of your style and approach." Project Magazine
