Using the metaphor of dragons as power, this book offers ways to be more inspired, empowered and effective. By training the wild, limitless part of our dragon energy we are able to use this power to bring wisdom, compassion and courage to our actions. Embedded in the pages you will find numerous short centering practices from one second to twenty seconds in duration. These short actionable practices are geared to synchronize body and mind to grow a bright and powerful leadership presence. In order to cultivate our benevolent power we need to understand how to relax with our fears and irritations so they don't derail our best intentions. We all have a Noble, Awesome and Shiny spirit and this book helps us bring it into the light.As in the Leadership Embodiment model, these techniques are based on principles from the non-aggressive martial art of Aikido and mindfulness practices. Described in the book are six aspects of personal power and six aspects of social power. Personal Power is the capacity to tame and train your power to influence yourself. Social Power defines the way you influence others and are influenced by others. The final section is about making it happen - implementing, sustaining and managing the challenge of visibility and what happens when we do act with our benevolent power.

From the fire-breathing beasts of North European myth and legend to the Book of Revelation’s Great Red Dragon of Hell, from those supernatural agencies of imperial authority in ancient China to the so-called dragon-women who threaten male authority, dragons are a global phenomenon, one that has troubled humanity for thousands of years. These often scaly beasts take a wide variety of forms and meanings, but there is one thing they all have in common: our fear of their formidable power and, as a consequence, our need either to overcome, appease, or in some way assume that power as our own. In this fiery cultural history, Martin Arnold asks how these unifying impulses can be explained. Are they owed to our need to impose order on chaos in the form of a dragon-slaying hero? Is it our terror of nature, writ large, unleashed in its most destructive form? Or is the dragon nothing less than an expression of that greatest and most disturbing mystery of all: our mortality? Tracing the history of ideas about dragons from the earliest of times to Game of Thrones, Arnold explores exactly what it might be that calls forth such creatures from the darkest corners of our collective imagination.

My sisters have been in a magical slumber for centuries, my mother, the last great battle queen is dead, leaving me to face the world alone. I’m the last of my kind. A queen, not entirely shifter and not entirely witch but a perfect blend of both. I’ve been living in hiding for over four hundred years, avoiding ties with the supernatural community, specifically the Council and the Alpha of all alphas, like the plague. That is, until I find myself challenging for alpha of the New England pack in front of both the shifter and witch communities. Now, I’m the leader of both. Fuck, I’m the leader of both. I’ve put myself square in the Council’s sight, my time in hiding forcibly over. But the Council is the least of my problems. Malick, the oldest Archdemon to walk the earth, is still alive despite my mother's best efforts. His legion growing in number by the day. I may want to keep myself and my new community away from his legion, but I know that the only way we’ll ever be safe is to kill him. Countless queens have tried. All of them failing even with their alpha dragon mates and supernatural communities. I’m going to have to work with the Alpha, Caleb, and the Council if I want to end Malick and wipe out his legion for good. Unfortunately, Caleb also happens to be my mate, as in soulmate, together forever, never to be parted, partners in crime. I know that he won’t let me go after we’ve finished wiping Malick from the face of the earth. But I refuse to be subject to the Council’s control. I also need to find a way to wake my sisters because what’s coming for us is far worse than Malick and there are no guarantees there will be any survivors.
