Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV)

SOPHOMORE SENSATION

**VISION FOCUSED —** As Dr. Jennifer Bryant recalls, God gave her the vision in the latter part of 2021 to spearhead her sophomore anthology, one that, very much like the initial one, figures to be as good as advertised when it debuts in June.

After a remarkably impressive showing with her first anthology, Dr. Jennifer Jones Bryant deemed it necessary to run it back.

Mission accomplished.

“I want this anthology to inspire, empower, and elevate current and future leaders by creating an impactful resource,” Dr. Bryant told Making Headline News this week.

The book to which this Baltimore-area author/businesswoman is alluding is Step Into Leadership Greatness, Volume 2: Leaders Producing Leaders, Dr. Bryant’s highly-anticipated collaborative project that figures to emerge as “another anticipated international bestseller,” she emphasized.

As Dr. Bryant recalls, God gave her the vision in the latter part of 2021 to spearhead her sophomore anthology, one that, very much like the initial one, figures to be as good as advertised when it debuts in June.

**STANDING OVATION —** “Since the first volume was an international best-selling hit, the audience can’t wait to put their hands on this copy,” Dr. Bryant said. “As I begin to announce authors, several have asked if they can join the project and they can’t wait to read it. I’ve shared some of the chapters with industry experts and received positive feedback.”

“I wanted to wait a few months to strategically think about the vision and impact I wanted this book to have on others,” Dr. Bryant said.

As for what she appropriately describes as “My Why” for producing Step Into Leadership Greatness, Volume 2: Leaders Producing Leaders, Dr. Bryant said: “I believe that people are the beginning, middle, and end of all processes and decisions. Once you invest in them, they will go above and beyond for the mission. As a creative and transformational leader with decades of leadership experience, I have spent my life investing in others to find and grow their inner strength and empowering them to accelerate to the next level in their careers.

“Simultaneously, I had mentors and sponsors who invested in me. I wanted to create a resource to propel other leaders into their greatness. Leadership also means producing leaders that can communicate in ways that shift other people’s perspectives and inspire their actions. Such good works on behalf of a leader should evoke a commitment in other leaders and make a shared commitment that builds confidence and resilience.”

An anthology that is comprised of 14 co-authors, Dr. Bryant’s Step Into Leadership Greatness, Volume 2: Leaders Producing Leaders took roughly three months to assemble.
