THE FIRST & ONLY FULLY RHYMING CHILDREN'S BOOK TO TEACH LEADERSHIP SKILLS TO A YOUNGER AUDIENCE
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN A CLEAR CORRELATION BETWEEN EARLY LEADERSHIP EDUCATION AND SUCCESS LATER IN LIFE
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN A CLEAR CORRELATION BETWEEN EARLY LEADERSHIP EDUCATION AND SUCCESS LATER IN LIFE
Created and developed by Leadership Development Expert, College Professor, Corporate Attorney & active member of MENSA, Michael G. Gordon, "The Six Simple Secrets to Being a Successful Kid" is an innovative new chapter book designed for parents to read each night with their children that teaches crucial lessons on leadership, communication, empathy, self-esteem, and finding purpose and happiness in life --- some of the most valuable attributes that not only serve to create better people, but more importantly, some of the best leaders.
A father of three children himself who taught leadership development for years, Professor Gordon realized there existed such an extensive amount of effective and proven leadership development curriculum for working professionals and college-aged students - yet nothing whatsoever designed exclusively for a younger audience teaching similar lessons on leadership and personal development - ironically the very same children "developing" right before our very eyes.
It was there that Professor Gordon realized the market was void of books teaching these valuable lessons to children at a younger age, where he logically assumed they would be most beneficial and useful.

Having had the opportunity to develop significant experience in the areas of leadership and professional development, both at the collegiate and corporate level, Professor Gordon realized how important it was to teach these lessons at a younger age, and conducted extensive research to confirm his hypothesis.
Not surprisingly, Professor Gordon’s research revealed the most successful leaders and happiest professionals were those that exhibited positive leadership qualities or experienced opportunities to lead at a young age in life.
Combining his extensive background in the area of leadership development with his desire to help his children (and your children) live their absolute best life and find success in whatever makes them happy, Professor Gordon reimagined his tried and tested leadership principles and applied them in a fun and engaging chapter book written entirely in rhyme, that follows our main character - little Jeremy Bean - on his exciting adventure to learn how he can be the very best kid he can be, and the six simple secrets that can help him get there.
How he does so, and the funny and unexpected results that follow, will leave your child laughing and learning at the same time - as each secret provides tested principles of leadership and personal development that will both resonate with your child and make a lasting impact.

These six secrets will teach your child a two-pronged approach to leadership - showing them how to lead others and teaching them how to lead themselves.
Your child will learn how and why its important to treat others kindly, be understanding, and help those in need. He or she will learn when to speak up if something's not right, and learn why its always important to be polite and kind and see things with an open mind. Your child will also learn how to lead themselves - understanding why its important to talk to friends or family about their feelings, learning not to bottle up emotions, and encouraging open and continuous communication with their parents. Finally, it will offer guidance on how our young readers can live a fulfilling life, by exploring their passions and following their dreams, and reiterates the importance of reading, learning, and embracing knowledge at every turn.

DESIGNED TO NOT ONLY ENTERTAIN, BUT TO EMPOWER
DESIGNED NOT ONLY TO ENTERTAIN --- BUT TO CREATE SOMETHING TO HELP EDUCATE, GROW, & NURTURE THE NEXT GENERATION --- THROUGH A CREATIVE, UNIQUE & INNOVATIVE WAY
"THE SIX SIMPLE SECRETS" is the first & only children's chapter book that's written entirely in rhyme, and that's designed specifically to teach critical leadership & personal development skills to our next generation of young leaders. Noticing a clear absence of any meaningful, personal development or self-help related books geared toward younger children - Professor Gordon asked a somewhat obvious question - why there existed no genre of leadership development materials geared toward an elementary-aged audience - the exact population that is literately ''developing" before our very eyes - and exactly the ones who could most benefit from these servant leader principles.
By delivering proven leadership curriculum through the lens of a fun, engaging, & heart-warming literary adventure, your child will not only connect and relate with our main character -- little Jeremy Bean -- but will learn the same positive leadership qualities as he does, and that are shared by some of the world's greatest & most influential leaders. Over the course of one week, Jeremy learns what it really means to be a successful kid - and that's certainly not by being prefect - its by caring for others, making the right choices, and doing what's right and just.
Professor Gordon is acutely aware that children will natural connect and respond more to advice and instruction from their Parents over a book - which is "THE SIX SIMPLE SECRETS" was intentionally designed to foster an open line of communication between parents and their children throughout the book, in hopes of creating a dialogue around many of the common, everyday issues elementary-aged children encounter -- many of which we, as parents, may not even be aware of nor appreciate.
This unique ability to initiate and nurture authentic family conversations while simultaneously producing quality family time, combined with Professor Gordon's proven & effective leadership curriculum, creative storytelling abilities, and ambitious yet successful mission, that make "THE SIX SIMPLE SECRETS TO BEING A SUCCESSFUL KID" not only a truly original idea, but a truly effective book that can actually make a difference.
Providing all the Tools Necessary to EMPOWER its Young and Eager Little Reader, into a GREAT PERSON, a GREAT CHILD, and an Even Greater LITTLE LEADER!
But Why a Children's Book?
Professor Gordon has formed a unique expertise in leadership and professional development over his award-winning career as a Fortune 500 corporate attorney, college professor and leadership coach, author and active member of MENSA, cultivating a reputation as one of the top voices in leadership development & personal growth.
Combining his unique motivational leadership style, educational background, entrepreneurial spirit, & inherent passion for creativity, Michael has established a successful career that served as the bedrock for his leadership style and foundational beliefs.
Over a career that has provided Michael the opportunity to lead leadership development workshops at the nation’s top colleges and universities, along with seminars across some of Europe’s most prestigious institutions it was his time teaching at Seton Hall University's Stillman School of Business where his inspiration for "THE SIX SIMPLE SECRETS" started.
There in Seton Hall’s Buccino Leadership Institute, ranked the number one program of its kind in the nation for 5 years in a row, he personally taught and mentored helping some of the brightest young leaders in country - quickly and acutely realizing these fine young leaders shared obvious and common traits - despite their vey diverse backgrounds. The most common thread he found of all however, was that nearly every student learned or experienced leadership principles or opportunities much earlier on in life.
Having three children of his own, Professor Gordon could not agree more, and set out to reimagine his leadership development curriculum so it could be applied to and understood by a younger generation.
Combined with extensive research on the topics of leadership and personal development, Professor Gordon conducted an extensive study whereby he interviewed and analyzed his top students from the leadership institute in an effort to better understand what led to their success and what helped them gain the leadership qualities they now exhibit, as well as what advice they wish they knew at a young age. The responses received were overwhelming, and the conclusions drawn were not only consistent, but clear and unambiguous.
Combining this research with Professor Gordon’s years of experience, these principles were turned into the six "simple secrets" or lessons propounded throughout this book, which if followed, will start your child on a journey to not only a successful life, but more importantly, a happy life as well.
