B.A.D. Leadership: Before, After & During Leadership is not just another leadership book. It is a transformational blueprint for leaders who want to develop mental strength, emotional intelligence, and trauma-informed leadership skills.
After completing more than 40 leadership courses, Twaski Simmons realized something powerful: training alone does not create effective leaders. Unaddressed trauma, unmanaged stress, and poor self-awareness silently shape leadership behavior.
This book explores three critical stages:
Before Leadership
Leaders must first address developmental trauma, stress triggers, emotional regulation, and mental health. Without self-awareness, leadership training fails.
During Leadership
Learn how to apply the leadership principles of John Maxwell, Stephen Covey, Dr. Myles Munroe, and Napoleon Hill in real-world workplace scenarios.
After Leadership
Leadership does not end when the title ends. Discover how influence, mentorship, and purpose continue beyond the role.
