    About this ebook

    This book addresses three core ideas essential to life and leadership mastery:
    (1) The ability to take self-responsibility releases you from the victim mindset.
    (2) The ability to deal with strong feelings allows you to mine the jewels in those grenades.
    (3) The ability to live and lead from the 3rd altitude of life--the level of purpose. You will learn to climb the mountain from power, to principle, to purpose.
    These three keys to self-mastery will build true competence and compassion in your life.

    Ramon G. Corrales Ph.D.

    Ramon Corrales, Ph.D. is a life and leadership coach who has spent many years working up close and personal with people. This has given him the "inside story" about what makes people tick as individuals and as leaders in their families and their organizations. In the early part of his career, he spent a number of years as a family therapist. In these roles, Ramon discovered the patterns of great leadership, high performance, and successful relationships. He took those success patterns and coded them into leadership principles and techniques for self-mastery and for leadership mastery. He calls his approach THE CODE OF WISDOM. Every idea and practice he offers has been tested in his own life, in work with leaders and their teams, and in families he helped to heal and to thrive. Ramon was born and raised in the Philippines of Spanish descent. In his early twenties, he spent 7 years as a monk in a Catholic monastery. After he left that life, he got a masters degree, married his wife, got a Fulbright scholarship, and received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. He and his wife, Annabel, raised two daughters in the US and have become citizens of this country. His deep sense of spirituality, nurtured as a young man, has inspired much of the depth of his work with leaders and their relationships. He and his wife Annabel live in the Kansas City area. Annabel is a teacher of preschoolers who uses the Montessori method with expertise in the phonics approach to reading. Rachel, their firstborn, is an HR Director for a bank in Sydney, Australia, and Anna-Lisa, their second-born is an attorney who practices New York area. Ramon and Annabel have two grandchildren. Ramon is passionate about teaching the principles and practices of self-mastery as the true foundation for Living and Leading On Purpose. For this reason, he has developed the SALT Leadership Program which aims to teach everyone to become Secret Agents of Love & Transformation.
