Unlock your leadership potential with the Upbeat! Leadership Workbook, a transformational guide designed to equip anyone with the skills and confidence to lead others, beginning with the most important first step: learning to lead yourself.

Inspired by the innovative ideas in Dr. Matthew Arau’s best-selling book, Upbeat!, this workbook is divided into three parts.

• Part 1: Mindset provides strategies, self-reflection, and guided activities to help you harness the power of your mindset and become intentional about your attitude and attention.
• Part 2: Mindfulness helps you cultivate presence and awareness so you can bring your best self to each day.
• Part 3: Leadership introduces the Five Levels of Upbeat Leadership and explores the 4 C’s of effectively leading others: character, competence, connection, and clarity.

Equally suited for individual or group use, this workbook offers universal appeal for students, teachers, administrators, athletes, and professionals in any field. With each page, you’ll develop greater self-leadership and, as a result, bring out the best in those you lead.

Just as a conductor gives the upbeat to start a piece of music, we choose our upbeat—our thoughts and attitude—in life, which in itself is an act of leadership. With the Upbeat! Leadership Workbook, you’ll gain the tools and experience to choose your upbeat, lead with purpose, and elevate your group to new heights.
