About this Book Discussion Guide
Welcome to the discussion guide for What’s Your Juice?, a professional learning experience built around story, reflection, honest conversation, and action to be used as a leadership tool, with coaches, or student-leaders.
Every session is designed to help participants experience the book’s core message: the energy we bring shapes our reality, influences others, and transforms the groups we lead. Participants will leave each session with greater self-awareness, renewed purpose, and at least one specific behavior they are ready to practice immediately.
About the Book
What’s Your Juice? explores the invisible but powerful force each person carries into every room, relationship, challenge, and team. Your juice — the unique mix of your energy, effort, attitude, mindset, motivation, and expectations — determines how you respond to adversity, how you perform under pressure, how others experience your leadership, and how groups rise or fall together.
Through historical examples, scientific research, personal stories, and practical assessments, the book challenges readers to understand, own, protect, and share their juice with purpose. The book’s three-part architecture moves from the inside out:
Part I — How Your Juice Defines Your Reality (Chapters 1–5): Your internal energy dynamics
Part II — How Your Juice Influences Others (Chapters 6–7): Your outward leadership impact
Part III — The Power of a Group’s Juice (Chapters 8–10): Collective energy and culture
