"Pearls from Sand" will appeal to people who seek out life lessons, look for ways to apply the lessons to their thoughts and actions, and enjoy sharing these powerful lessons with others.

Pragmatic, practical and immediately useful, "Pearls of Leadership Wisdom" provides leaders at all stages of their development with a fresh perspective on ways they could potentially lead better. The book's quick-to-read 30 pearls are based on lessons learned from leaders of all types over the past three decades. Sandra Davis' real-life examples are easy to relate to and her personal touches make this a fun read.
