COMING OCTOBER 6, 2025: Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies

SAG HARBOR, N.Y. - EntSun -- A unique and collaborative exploration of leadership, growth, and transformation, Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies is a compelling collection featuring essays from dozens of authors and insights gleaned from a survey of more than 150 leaders and professionals. Together, these voices share heartfelt stories of how the lives—and losses—of our "special somebodies" shape us both personally and professionally.

A JOURNEY BEYOND GRIEF

Guided by lead author Ian Ziskin, this project stems from a desire to go beyond personal grief and delve into universal themes of love, loss, and leadership. Ziskin and the contributing authors explore not only what they've lost, but how those experiences have reshaped their perspectives, deepened their relationships, and influenced their leadership styles

By blending diverse narratives, an exploration of the neuroscience of grief, survey insights, and compelling examples of how famous individuals tend to transform loss into achievement, this book addresses four critical questions:

1. What lessons do we learn from people important to us during their lives and deaths?
2. Can anything positive emerge from such loss?
3. How do these experiences change us as leaders and as people?
4. How can we apply these lessons to lead more effectively?
