Praise for 'Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky’
A NEW LEADERSHIP BENCHMARK
This book not only illustrates a new leadership benchmark, but buoys every "ordinary person," as President Zelensky calls himself. We see how he leaned into his life and its lessons and how we can as well. Kanzer, herself a Soviet refugee, helps us fully grasp what Zelensky and his people are up against, how those same forces show up in each our lives—and how we can follow Zelensky's example of courage, faith, and perseverance.
— Jen Pastiloff, author of National Bestseller, On Being Human
INSPIRED
People tend to look at heroes as unreachable beings way beyond them. But in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky, Kanzer takes us from admiring the Ukrainian president to being inspired by him in our own lives. She skillfully uses Zelensky's words and story to show us that we can each be the hero we've been yearning for...in fact, that's what we're being called to do: to find our Inner Zelensky and run with him!
— Joe De Sena, New York Times bestselling author of Spartan Up!, Spartan Fit!, and The Spartan Way
VALUABLE
Jessie Asya Kanzer beautifully shares Zelenskyy’s message. And her book shows why it’s so valuable, not just for leaders, but for everyday people. The lessons Zelenskyy learned on his life journey are extremely valuable to all of us.
— Serhii Rudenko, Ukrainian journalist, commentator, and author of “Zelensky: A Biography”
