Brand Intervention

33 Steps to Transform the Brand You Have into the Brand You Need

It’s a mentality. It’s actually acting like you don’t have any money and forcing creativity, exercising what I call ‘The Power of Broke.’ ”

Even Undercover Billionaire Grant wrote, “David is a branding genius.”

Claude Silver (Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia) wrote, “This is not only an outstanding book on branding but is an excellent example of branding, design, and content I keep in my office. I only wish I had this book at the beginning of my career.”

The Bellwether Effect

Stop Following. Start inspiring

As a CEO of a large health system, our organization engaged Lance and his team at the Secretan Center to guide a cultural change that strengthened the leadership skills throughout our organization and thus enhanced our success.

The Bellwether Effect is the most complete description of strategies we used to improve our performance, and it is simply the best description of mistakes organizations make and suggestions for positive change that I have read. This book is refreshingly practical and has many how-to examples that can be used by leaders who wish to find a new way to create positive change.

Every leader can profit from Secretan’s thinking on leadership and change. The Bellwether Effect ought to be considered an owner’s manual for all leaders wishing to understand why methods often used are not working and how we can inspire a new model of leadership. This book is just what most leaders need. —Joseph C. Calvaruso, Senior Vice President, Ohio Health
