That Sally Foley-Lewis would write a book entitled ‘Spark’ comes as absolutely no surprise. It’s one of the most congruent titles imaginable, coming from an author who is so adept at helping others access the spark that lights them up. Leafing through the pages of this book, I’m seeing wisdom and courage in equal measure, carefully laid out such that the reader is invited to step up and find the spark that makes their leadership shine.
This book should contain the following warning – ‘You will want to read this book slowly and at least three times’.
Spark is packed with thought provoking nuggets and practical exercises that help arm and inspire you to create a new you. Highly recommended if you have the ambition but need a nudge.
Sally’s book SPARK is a quick and easy read, yet the ideas it contains are powerful. SPARK will quickly become a popular and influential book on leadership, its focus is on self-leadership and the strategies are clear in that before leading others you have to know how to lead yourself effectively, so you can apply what you learn to your personal and work life. When applied throughout an organisation, the guiding principles of self-leadership can result in a positive, transformative change in you and your workplace culture.
Sally has nailed it in her new book “Spark”. Great insights on leadership and how to lean into your own style of leadership. Valid and useful ideas that provide a “spark” for leaders at every level!
Self-leadership is rarely on a leader’s to-do list, yet it is simply essential if you want to have better leaders leading organisations. In this book Sally Foley-Lewis lights the “Spark” for those aspiring to greater leadership and guides them through her nine carefully crafted and yet simple to apply strategies. It’s an easy read with links to great video interviews with real self-leaders interspersed among the manuscript to keep you thinking and challenging the status quo. I think this will become an excellent go to text for those wanting to move up the leadership ladder and for those who have lost their “Spark” and need a refresher about where to next.
Sally’s pragmatic approach once again shines through in her latest book, SPARK. The nine strategies she shares will help fire up your confidence, influence and courage as you spark your self-leadership.

I love this book! Sally has brought together 9 strategies that everyone can put into practice to develop that most important muscle of all: self-leadership.
Spark is inspiring reading for everyone because it’s about the grit and honesty of what self-leadership is about, and as Sally explains is about that all-important relationship – the one you have with yourself!
There is an honesty, rawness and warmth in the accounts of those Sally has interviewed that makes this book extremely relatable. And the opportunities to record reflections only makes it feel even more like a personal journey into self-leadership. I’d like to see this book part of final year school or first year university so that our next generation starting out can gain the benefit of the wisdom and insights on an important topic. Investing in self-leadership benefits not just the individual, but also everyone with whom we come in contact including personal and professional relationships.
