Wish you TOOK MORE CHANCES with your LIFE and CAREER?
The biggest regret most people have later in life is what they didn't do rather than what they did. If you want some inspiration to take more chances, Learn to Leap: How Leaders Turn Risk into Opportunity needs to be on your reading list. This compelling book from business leader and executive coach Kip Knight is a fascinating collection of real-life stories and lessons learned.
Kip, the co-author of Crafting Persuasion: A Leader's Handbook to Change Minds and Influence Behavior, believes the best way to share powerful and motivating insights is through stories. Learn to Leap has a wide and unique collection of them.Have you ever wondered what it would take to walk in off the street and get an executive position at a Fortune 500 company? Or what it's like to meet with the National Security Council in the White House? Or how to psych yourself enough to walk barefoot across a hot bed of coals?
With each story, the reader can draw their own lessons on how to push themselves to try new things and learn how to become a better person and stronger leader. Each person's life is a unique, separate, and remarkable journey. We all have opportunities and situations throughout our lives that vary dramatically in risk and nature. Some are easy decisions; others pose difficult choices. Learn to Leap is written for anyone who has a dream but isn't quite sure how to make it a reality.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Kidnappings, fist fights, terrorist attacks ... take the "Leap" and you'll be with Kip as he rides Arabian steeds, jumps from bulletproof cars, crawls from dark mines, and navigates steep cliffs like no other chief marketing officer you've ever met. Most importantly, you'll learn the secrets of how to turn risks into personal growth opportunities that will enrich your life forever. Terrific book to read and live by."
Robert Chesnut, author of Intentional Integrity and former General Counsel & Chief Ethics Officer at Airbnb
This is a rare leadership book that feels like a long, delicious dinner party, and you're the guest of honor. Kip regales readers with his collection of intimate, self-deprecating, and honest stories told from his 40-year long career across 60 countries. It's the authentic guide to lifelong leadership you need now and will feel lucky to have been invited to enjoy."
Beck Bamberger, CEO of BAM Communications and Emmy winner for "Best on Air" talent
With over two decades of my life spent at the forefront of teaching how to build authentic relationships, Learn to Leap is a collection of powerful stories that effectively demonstrate what goes into creating and honoring your most critical relationships in life and at work. And on top of that ... a fun read! I highly recommend it."
Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone and founder/chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight
I've known the author for over 30 years and can confirm Kip is one of the best storytellers (and marketers) I know. If you are a young professional looking for some inspiration and ideas on how to live a full life as well as create a satisfying career for yourself, search no further-this book is perfect for you."
Greg Creed, author of R.E.D. Marketing and former CEO of Yum! Brands
I've known Kip for many years, as one of the stories in here attests, and I still don't know whether things happen to Kip Knight or Kip Knight happens to things. You'll get plenty of examples of both in this book. It's a story lover's delight by a storytelling master, but not just that: underneath are many memorable and transferrable lessons of leadership. This is a wild, wonderful, and very wise read.
Stan Slap, New York Times bestselling author of Bury My Heart at Conference Room B and Under the Hood
This is a highly entertaining yet pragmatic book on what it takes to win friends and influence people in the 21st century. In a world where one is likely to face unexpected challenges and setbacks daily, Learn to Leap gives the reader just the right perspective and attitude adjustment
to keep on going no matter what happens.
Klon Kitchen, Author of The Kitchen Sync and former National Security Advisor
Kip shares some timeless principles of leadership through personal stories presented with cinematic quality and impact. There are parts of it I enjoyed immensely-his stories brought me smiles that went beyond smiling to outright laughter."
John Pepper, Former CEO of Procter & Gamble, former Chairman of the Walt Disney Company

Superb!
Kip's book "Learn to Leap: How Leaders Turn Risk into Opportunity" is equally real and impressive. The book is very entertaining and easy to read while being actionable - a very difficult thing to achieve. While many business books are theoretical and focus on a single idea like productivity, focus or persuasion, Kip gives readers a glimpse into the real world of business and marketing, and gives us a way to solve problems. I especially loved his stories of resilience - in today's world where people are being fired or laid off, these can be confidence boosters.
Reading the book is like meeting Kip in real life. Inspiring, engaging and motivating. A must read for anyone stuck in their career and looking for actionable advice.
