Join Kerry Hamilton on a leadership adventure and bring your team on board. Rest assured the canoe is packed with the necessary tools and other resources to take your leadership to the next level. This journey is accessible, pragmatic and practical for all hungry to learn more.

Kerry Hamilton's easy and intelligent read will leave you convinced that whatever it is in life- you can do it. Her assumption is that we are all leaders, and like the picture on the cover, her clear and spacious suggestions will have you thinking that a wild ride is not a bad thing. A thoughtful gift for you or others.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Take a short trip with Kerry Hamilton down the Colorado River and orient yourself toward leadership as a journey. The Leadership River is a fun, short read packed with wisdom, ideas and practices to help you on your leadership journey. It is a refreshing reminder that leadership derives from simple concepts that we can all implement. In it, you will learn that if you have a "willingness to step back and notice what you want in the present moment and take some action...simple changes can produce profound results."

The Leadership River will stand with the leadership classics. It is the type of book you can read many times and take something new from it each time.

The Leadership River is full of powerful metaphors with practical application. Kerry Hamilton manages to inspire the imagination and help the reader put leadership principles into practice, all while demonstrating that leadership, while often challenging, can be fun. Her practical exercises complement the inspiring narrative, leading the reader into depth and breadth in exploring his/her own leadership. Hamilton's own authenticity shines through the pages as she advocates authenticity for readers. We see how her experience on the Colorado River (as well as other experiences) changed her leadership, and we change in the process. The Leadership River is a simple yet powerful book. Read it and be changed.
