The Leader You Will Be is an invitation to embrace the leader within us all — to step up, shine, be authentic, do good, and bring our best selves to the table for positive impact, love, and meaningful living. This concise, illustrated book is a journey into leadership and personal growth, drawing on insights from Anese’s two decades of work with business leaders, organizations, and individuals around the world. It explores behaviors, intentions, actions, and “ways of being” that Anese has taught and witnessed in her leadership advisory role and in her deep passion for the human spirit.

Performed on stages nationwide, The Leader You Will Be speaks to those seeking a more meaningful impact in both business and life — on their own terms. What began as a poem has grown into a work of love and craftsmanship, created by Anese and her team. This poem is not a prescription but an invitation, offering something for everyone. Use it in whatever way resonates with you: keep it for yourself, share the love, read it to your kids, gift it to your team, or leave it as a secret leadership surprise for someone you care about. Whether you pick one thing or five, take the invitation, lean in, and lead. The time to show up as the leader you will be is now.

In Contagious Culture, Anese Cavanaugh reveals how to create a healthy, inspiring, and energizing business culture that’s positively contagious. This book shows you how to set the tone, engage your team, and foster a dynamic environment where growth, productivity, and innovation can thrive.
