Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies Book Cover

We’re so grateful you’re here. Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies is more than a book—it’s a powerful collection of essays and insight from lead author Ian Ziskin and dozens of contributors about the special somebodies who shaped their lives and leadership.

Here are four simple but effective ways to help us spread the word about this book to others:

Share the Book

Purchase a copy (or copies) of the book and gift it to someone who’s made a difference in your life—or to clients, colleagues, or friends who you think would find value in reading it. The book is available at the Routledge site (our publisher) with free shipping in 6-12 business days, or you can buy it at Amazon perhaps with quicker shipping.

Buy the book directly from our publisher, Routledge, using promo code 26AFLY1 at checkout (valid through June 30, 2026) to get 20% off the regular price. (Note: if the book is already on sale, the promo code will apply only up to 20% off the regular price.)

BULK ORDERS—If you’re interested in bulk orders for your company, group, or organization, fill out this simple form and we’ll get back to you with details on how to make that happen.

Leave a Review

Your words matter. A short review on Amazon or Routledge helps others discover the book and its message.

Post on LinkedIn

Take a selfie/video holding the book and share your reflections, favorite excerpt, or a shoutout to your own “special somebody.” Tag us so we can celebrate with you … and be sure to include the link to our book landing page at https://consortium4change.com/special-somebodies.

Invite Us to Speak

We’d love to join a podcast, event, or team meeting to talk about storytelling, leadership, and the power of quiet impact—including panels of our contributing authors who represent different ages, professional stages, and industries.

Thank You!

Your support helps this book reach a wider audience. Whether you take one step or all four, we’re deeply grateful. Proceeds from the sale of our book will be donated to The National Academy of Human Resources, a 501(c)(3) organization on whose board I serve (www.nationalacademyhr.org).
