About the Book

Leadership consultant Blackburn provides an intimate engagement with his readers to positively change the way they experience the world each day. Blackburn's book is a participatory endeavor that is designed to shake you awake, "to take you deep into a way of life that consists of sustainable optimism, fulfillment, and happiness, while being able to manage the fears of the uncertain and unpredictable future that awaits you." This book does not scatter pearls of wisdom like so much self-help guru pigeon feed, but tenders a demanding call-and-response framework to involve readers in their growth. Although Blackburn is probing and challenging, his voice is easeful, at times almost incantatory as he slides questions across the page-"How are you contributing to your future by creating something that does not now exist?" or "As you review the characteristics that are unsettling for you, do you see any common theme?" But he doesn't stop there; he provides many possible answers to mull over, or to serve as inspiration. Awareness is a big presence here, how not simply to react-a hot, urgent drive-but to give a soft, responsible reply to what is placed in your life. Cultivating that big-hearted, open-minded awareness involves the planting of seeds of intent, "small changes that are implemented over a period of time that eventually become the foundation for a more complex life transformation"-acceptance, awareness, clarity, faith and intuition, each of which is a nuanced way of being. 'seeds' interaction with readers is like a tutorial, a dynamic, encouraging relationship that offers guidance while asking you to do the serious digging-"doing new things, doing the same things differently, becoming more, and going where you have never gone before." Author Jim Blackburn offers a bracingly honest pursuit of life as a learning experience, where he might be the mentor, but you write your book.
About the Author: After more than 25 years in the financial services industry, Jim Blackburn founded The Surve Consulting Group in 1995 based on his observation of the need for leadership and personal influence development in business organizations. After relocating to North Carolina in 2004, The SURVE Partners LLC was created to continue the work started in Ohio. Since then, he has worked with leaders and their teams, delivering a unique and personalized counseling process focusing on relationships and the human aspect of the work place. SURVE Partners is a resource for the individual who desires change or is experiencing change either personally or professionally. While promoting the value and potential of people, they offer insightful, provocative, opinion-shaping conversation, counsel and direction. Throughout his leadership consultancy, Jim has facilitated leadership and talent development programs in companies of all sizes - from ten to 100,000 employees, and Fortune 50 to small, privately held businesses. Jim Blackburn received his undergraduate degree from Kent State University in Ohio and has completed post-graduate studies at Harvard Business School and The American College. He has served on various non-profit and for-profit boards of directors. Jim is a recognized author and a speaker. He has written articles for various business publications and has spoken at numerous business conferences, conventions and retreats.
