Week Minded: 52 Reflections on Leading and Living One Week, One Story, One Measure at a Time - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Story Matters
Week Minded is a year-long journey through the art of leading and living with purpose. Drawn from decades of experience as an engineer, lobbyist, and chief human resources officer, Rod Branch distills a lifetime of lessons into fifty-two weekly reflections-each one a story of courage, caring, and clarity. From frozen oil fields in Alaska to boardrooms and backyards, these real-world moments reveal how leadership isn't about title or authority but about awareness, empathy, and the willingness to keep learning.
Organized into four thematic parts-Awakening Awareness, Resilient Leadership, Relational Wisdom, and Legacy and Transcendence-the book moves readers through an intentional progression: from self-discovery to strength, connection, and meaning. Each reflection ends with a "Life Lesson," a timeless reminder that leadership is not an abstract theory but a daily practice shaped by choices, relationships, and small acts of caring.
At once practical and deeply human, Week Minded invites readers to slow down, reflect, and rediscover what truly matters. It's not a manual for managing others-it's a road map for leading yourself. Through humor, humility, and hard-won insight, Branch reminds us that the most powerful leaders are those who lead with heart-and that a life well-lived is the ultimate legacy.

About the Author
About the AuthorRod Branch, musician, engineer, lobbyist, executive, inventor, ordained minister, and now, author. He is a grassroots American, having worked as a roustabout in the oil fields of small-town America and as an engineer in the Alaskan Arctic, a Washington lobbyist, and a C-suite officer. His career has seen many industries, including energy, manufacturing, and construction. Rod holds a Bachelor of Science degree in petroleum engineering technology from Oklahoma State University and a Master of Science degree in global human resource management from the University of Liverpool (UK). He studied industrial relations at Cornell and has spoken at national leadership, safety, and management conferences nationwide. He is a frequent guest lecturer at Texas A&M University, holds U.S. patent number 5083614, and is both an ordained minister and a professional musician. He received the Houston Business Journal's HR Impact Leader of the Year award in 2024 and was honored in 2025 to be named a Tennessee Squire and an honorary admiral in the Texas Navy for his various charity efforts during COVID. He is a husband, father, grandfather, dog guy, and bourbon enthusiast. He is inspired by holding his grandchildren, watching it snow in Breckenridge, Colorado, or sipping coffee while deer wander across the Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas. His hope is that this book inspires you to keep learning, leading, and living with purpose and to find meaning in the ordinary moments that build enduring confidence-one week, one story, one act of kindness at a time.
