He also served 20 years as a reserve deputy sheriff and worked as a hostage negotiator.
Helpful and concise. A bit short for me, but I liked that it gets straight to the point.
As someone new to civic work, this book gave me confidence. It’s simple, motivating, and very practical.
Clear instructions and guidance. Could have used a few more examples, but overall I’d recommend it.
Great resource for community members. Easy read with lots of wisdom packed into less than 100 pages.
It’s okay, good starter, but felt too brief for my needs. Works better as an introduction than a deep dive.
Good overview for beginners. Could have included more real-life case studies, but overall a useful read.
A short, clear, and helpful guide. I wish I had this before joining my local board—it makes everything less overwhelming.
