In Astronomical Leadership, you'll be inspired and motivated as Amanda shares her unlikely journey of overcoming obstacles of race and gender prejudice, finding her giftings and self-confidence, and making a bold proclamation that changed her life forever.You'll also walk alongside Amanda as she faces her greatest professional challenge-the destruction on reentry of the Space Shuttle Columbia-and deals with the personal trauma that followed that horrific event. You'll also learn of her involvement in the investigation of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, transition from NASA, and development as a leader that eventually led to the creation of her unique take on Input-Process-Output to improve and enhance your leadership capability, presence, style, and brand.
