Strong Like Water - How I Found the Courage to Lead with Love in Business and in Life

Laila Tarraf

Summary

Laila Tarraf was the Chief People Officer for Peet’s Coffee and Tea, the iconic Berkeley coffee roaster that launched the craft coffee movement in America, but she had a secret: she was failing in the most important relationships in her life. Yes, she was a strong and effective business leader, the successful daughter of immigrants, and the mother of a toddler; but she was also disconnected from her own feelings and had little patience for the feelings of others. All that changed when life handed her a trifecta of losses: her husband died of an accidental drug overdose, and her parents' deaths followed in quick succession. Laila had spent her life leading from the head, convinced that any display of vulnerability would make her soft. What she didn’t expect was that soft would turn out to be strong. As she reconnected to her heart, one painful step at a time, something remarkable happened: she became a better leader, a better mother, and a better person. Her heart turned out to be the true source of her power, at home and at work. This is a book about healing, about waking up, about learning who you are—who you really, truly are at the core—and reclaiming and embracing all the pieces of yourself you long ago abandoned in the name of survival. Women longing for balance will discover a path to infusing our leadership and relationships with love, compassion, and authenticity.

Now I’m also going to show you that it is very possible and I must add – humanly possible—for anyone or any ordinary individual to pull off a massive product launch on a huge scale and achieve extraordinary income within a short period of time.
I want to make a disclaimer before I continue. This does not imply that this is a get-rich quick scheme because you have to put in a lot of effort and that is undeniable. You have to put a lot of effort into launching a product successfully and all the steps must be done in a correct co-ordination otherwise even if you do implement a lot of effort into launching your product, it could actually fail if you don’t follow the steps correctly or reach out to your market in a way that has mass appeal.
If you study the launches of successful million dollar makers on the Internet, you will find out that they will all have 4 criteria’s where they launch a new product which is firstly revolutionary. Secondly it has mass appeal. Thirdly it is something that helps people solve their problems or help make people’s lives a little bit easier. And with some touching up on the advertising side, they make people very excited, and as a result they have created a million dollar success.
This is something that differentiates the top Internet marketers and those who are just getting by every day. You may want to ask yourself seriously; which side do you want to be on?
