Your Oxygen Mask First: 17 Habits to Help High Achievers Survive & Thrive in Leadership & Life Paperback – October 2, 2017

The higher you climb the thinner the air! And I have found this guide to be invaluable to coping with that stressful and rarified atmosphere. The examples and stories are a great comfort, knowing that there are people and circumstances like you and that there are practical methods for coping. As someone who has been in executive positions since my early thirties it is so wrong to see senior positions as priveleged and easy. When nothing can be further from the truth. The stress, office politics and risk is thrown at you. The expectations are so high and yet you are often not only left unsupported but actually attacked for driving change. That’s why a guide like this is so critical. Well written and easy to digest for a busy life it will give you the tools to get through it. I can thoroughly recommend it above all other business guides for surviving at the top.

I was fortunate to have Kevin as my coach for a decade. As an entrepreneur, I got to experience Kevin’s wisdom first hand. Now you can accelerate your entrepreneurial journey by direct access to Kevin’s knowledge in his new book Your Oxygen Mask First 17 Habits to Help High Achievers. This is not a theory book. It is a blue print that shows you the steps you can take to have an amazing business and an awesome life. For years, I didn’t think that I could have it all—my business, myself, and my life. With Kevin’s help, I can have it all. You can too—buy and read Your Oxygen Mask First.

I really enjoyed this and highlighted a lot of the pages. Lots of practical and useful ideas.

So many books out there on "self help" and even professional development. What I've found both as CEO and coaching CEO's is, knowing something or how to do something rarely makes a difference. It's WHAT you IMPLEMENT that changes everything. Not only has Kevin Lawrence provided brilliant insight into habits of top performers, but he's included a framework in his book to insure that your implementation is top notch. Highly recommend this book to anyone that is a high performer and want's to get to the next level or aspires to be a high performer.

This has all the makings of a great book, but it fell flat for me. The anecdotes felt a little fabricated and the “fill in the blanks” workbook style didn’t seem to fit. I found myself skimming more than reading in many places. On the positive side, it has many sound principles and will likely be a powerful read for the right person or someone in the right situation.

So many leadership books are written that focus on growing your business or taking care of your employees. Kevin has written an amazing book that focuses on taking care of yourself first.It’s full of incredibly helpful tools you can use based on whatever life or your business throws at you. This is not a book you read once. It’s one you’ll keep coming back to as you journey through life and business.As a business coach, I will absolutely use this for myself and my clients.

As a leadership coach I read constantly, both to elevate my coaching skills and discover new tools for my clients. Your Oxygen Mask First hits on every level! I also consult on Continuous Improvement, and Kevin’s approach to leadership skills and lifestyle aligns 100%. I chose to read the book all the way through (mostly because I could not put it down!) and then double back to start working through the tools. I love that Kevin provides free tools on his web site, great added value! I will be buying multiple copies for my clients - thank you Kevin!

I heard Kevin speak about his book soon after the emotionally charged sale of my company, and the timing could not have been better. After completing his Resilience Self-Assessment, it was clear I had some work to do on dealing with my emotional junk – and so I did. Your Oxygen Mask First provided the catalyst that has led to profound changes in my life, and in my personal relationship...and, for that, I am so grateful. This book is must read, must do for everyone. Thank you, Kevin!
