March 17, 2009,– In our struggling economy, the negative impact of a dwindling market has forced many people into survival mode. Professional speaker and author, L. Diane Wolfe, has witnessed this trend in those who attend her seminars. Aware of the need for encouragement, as well as leadership and people skills, Wolfe devised a way to reach those outside of her speaking engagements. The result is “Overcoming Obstacles with SPUNK! The Keys to Leadership & Goal-Setting.”

Available March 17, 2009 from Dancing Lemur Press L.L.C., Wolfe’s book outlines the steps required to overcome obstacles and become an effective and dynamic leader. Joined by authors David Ambrose, p.m. terrell, Darlene Wofford, Jocelyn Andersen, Bob Johnson, C. Denise Sutton, and Bill Wilson, her book energizes one’s passion for life. The five Keys guide the reader through developing a positive attitude, learning people skills, raising self-esteem, overcoming fears, and setting goals.

Tying her goal-setting and leadership seminars together into one package, Wolfe hopes to benefit business owners desiring to increase productivity as well as those seeking to improve their leadership skills. Known as “Spunk On A Stick”, her association with a motivation training system gave her the in-depth knowledge of relationships, personality traits and success principles. The author’s enthusiasm, along with the book’s easy to digest content, guarantees many repeat readings. “The book is commended for those who need a devotional style approach to leadership…” states Armchair Interviews.

Wolfe’s upcoming appearances include “An Ounce of Prevention Health Seminar” in D.C., featuring keynote speaker Michelle Obama and NCAEOP’s Annual Conference in Greensboro, NC. The author will also continue to offer her seminars through colleges, organizations, schools and clubs. “Overcoming Obstacles with SPUNK! The Keys to Leadership & Goal-Setting,” ISBN 978-0-9816210-2-9, $13.95, is available retail and wholesale from Ingram, Quality Books Inc. or publisher direct.
