Leading from the Heart

The leadership breakthrough hiding in plain sight.

Burnout, fractured trust, and high turnover plague organizations from hospital floors to corporate boardrooms. The missing protocol isn’t another productivity hack or management trend. Instead, it’s self-empathy: the ability to see yourself clearly, regulate under pressure, and extend compassion without depleting yourself.

In Leading from the Heart, Dr. D. Ivan Young turns this overlooked key into a practical, measurable skillset that belongs in every coaching program, healthcare training, and executive curriculum. Drawing on behavioral neuroscience, decades of executive coaching, and a global reputation for transformational results, Dr. Young delivers a curriculum-ready blueprint to:
· Prevent burnout before it takes root
· Create psychologically safe, high-performance teams
· Align personal well-being with professional excellence
· Lead, teach, and heal from a regulated nervous system

Endorsed by distinguished industry professionals, this book will redefine leadership, clinical, and coaching approaches in business, healthcare, and beyond. No matter your organizational role, Leading from the Heart is your playbook to transform self-empathy from a buzzword into your most valuable professional asset.
