Most leaders know how to lead. Few have done the work to become someone worth following when the weight gets real. Leadership rarely fails for lack of strategy — it fails when pressure exposes the parts of a leader that were never strengthened.

In Strong CORE, executive advisor and leadership coach Christopher Thompson shifts the focus from what you do to who you’re becoming while you do it. Beginning with the snap of his own Achilles tendon — the injury that forced him to rebuild from the inside out — he offers an honest, story-driven guide to the inner work that grows lasting leaders.

What you’ll discover inside:

A working definition of CORE: Courageous Connection, Outcomes-Driven Leadership, Relationship Mastery, Emotional Agility
Why “flash” gets you in the room — and why only “fruit” keeps you there
How to lead with clarity and presence when your title offers no shield
How to strengthen the roots no one sees so you can stretch without snapping
How to strengthen the person your leadership depends on most: you
How to measure leadership by what people carry after you leave the room
How to build a legacy in real time — in the language, steadiness, and trust you leave behind

What Early Readers are Saying:
“In high-pressure environments, leadership does not break at the surface. It breaks at the core.”

Tom Langer, MBA, Executive Healthcare Leader

“Storytelling at its finest. Strong CORE had me hooked from page one.”

Frederick C. Sanders, Ph.D, MCC, Award-Winning Coach & Creatorpreneur

“Christopher Thompson gives language to the unseen work beneath leadership.”

Francisco Fierro, Author of Attitude-Based Culture Reformation

“Flash is what gets you in the room. Fruit is what keeps you there.”

Zoey Ellis, early reader

This is not another leadership playbook. It's an invitation to strengthen the part of yourself every other part of your leadership depends on.

Read Strong CORE and begin the inner work that grows lasting leaders.

If pressure keeps exposing what your title can’t protect, read Strong CORE — and start growing the kind of strength that lasts.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
