Executive coach and meditation expert Kristoffer Carter will discuss his new book "Permission to Glow--A Spiritual Guide to Epic Leadership." Learn to move from panic, to peace, and to power.

Join us in the Main Library’s auditorium for an author reading and book signing. Ace Epps, Director of Inclusive Entrepreneurship at Bounce Innovation Hub, will moderate this free event.

This program has been updated to require registration. Due to changing guidelines from the CDC regarding COVID-19, we believe this is the best way to keep you informed about the status of our programs.

About the Book: According to executive coach and meditation expert Kristoffer Carter, our work is to expand our spiritual capacity to hold more of what life and business is constantly throwing at us. In his new book, Permission to Glow: A Spiritual Guide to Epic Leadership, Carter creates awareness of the universal forces that hold us back — and gives us permission “ ... to transcend the crazy train of overwhelm and disruption, by using everything life offers as fuel to glow.” Kristoffer shows us how we’ve become laughably self-reliant, settling for “I got this.”, instead of utilizing the unlimited potential of “We got this.” With plenty of pop culture references and humor, Carter invites us to drop our autopilots, which he playfully calls our frenemies. Rooted in yoga’s ancient science of union with Spirit, Permission to Glow offers paths from panic, to peace, to power.

About the Author: Kristoffer Carter is the founder of This Epic Life, a website devoted to conscious leadership, which has created a daily meditation practice for thousands. He is the creator of The 4 Permissions™ framework, which guides his coaching of executive leaders at Amazon, AT&T, eXp Realty, Edward Jones, and many more. "KC" is also a TEDx speaker, international retreat leader and songwriter. He lives in Akron, OH. For more info, visit his website, thisepiclife.com.
