In Fundamentals of Lawyer Leadership: A Skills Guide to Professional Identity Formation, we explore the aspects of leadership and professional identity formation that take root and begin to grow while students are in law school and throughout their lifelong journey as practicing attorneys and professionals. We like to describe professional identity and its formation as the process of becoming a complete lawyer; however, honing the skill sets of a complete lawyer takes time and study. Just as developing legal skills is a life-long endeavor, growing as a leader is a process that evolves over a lifetime. To become whole, healthy, skilled professionals, it is imperative that lawyers engage in a process of lifelong learning. That journey begins in law school, where professors help guide students not only in the formation of their professional identities, but also to develop as effective, thoughtful leaders. This process is vital, not merely as an ABA requirement, but to ensure the future of the profession. For students to develop as both professionals and leaders requires a personal, practical, and reflective approach to the issues. This ownership of continuous professional growth toward excellence, grounded in a service-oriented approach is a cornerstone of preparedness for leadership, and therefore, development as a lawyer. This textbook begins with professional identity formation and foundational leadership and what each means. In Part II, Leadership of Self: Growing into Leadership, the leadership journey requires looking inward to examine who you are, what type of lawyer you want to be, and how you will lead. In Part III, Leadership with Others: Effective Group Dynamics, the book covers topics such as building and nurturing relationships, developing emotional and cultural intelligence, becoming a valuable member of teams, civility, civil discourse, and creating inclusive environments. Finally, in Part IV, Leadership within Community: Service and Impact, the book examines the role of the lawyer in society, including crisis management, how to be prepared for moments of opportunity, and how you can use your skills to have influence and impact others. Contributing your energy to worthy causes about which you are passionate will bring purpose and satisfaction to your life. The authors are available to advise any law school faculty who plan to teach a leadership course and would be happy to discuss the lessons they’ve learned in teaching leadership. Their contact information will be provided upon request.

The writer's expertise and deception detection services are often sought after by enforcement agencies, including the Royal Malaysian Police Force in Malaysia. This book is useful for anyone who wishes to avoid being deceived or for those seeking to benefit from their own body language. Written in two parts, it can help anyone learn simple ways to read body language, detect deception, and take advantage of their very own body language. The author includes a chapter on his observation of the video clip and body language of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, who piloted the missing MH 370. The clip in the airport at the time of his departure, 7th March 2014, gives convincing and dramatic body language signs and later clues to the disappearance of MH 370. The author's further research on the ill-fated flight, points to the disappearance of MH 370 to Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah. The writer also rebuts author Florence de Changy's latest book that MH370 was shot down into the sea, and that the disappearance was a massive cover-up by the Malaysian authorities.

If you change the way, you use your arms, and if you understand your habit mind, which is your subconscious mind, you can be a better person. If you are a school teacher, you can use body language to help your class of boisterous children to be calm and focused. By requesting these children to cross their arms and legs for just two to three minutes, these children's anxieties and restlessness would vanish, and they would be as calm as after the storm.
