Book Two
When Love Misses the Mark
How Leaders Close the Gap Between Care Given and Love Received
You meant encouragement. They heard control. Care is measured not only by what we intend, but by what the other person can safely receive. Between the two sits translation, shaped by personal history, stress, attachment, culture, neurodiversity and the power we hold. Dennis sets out the Seven Languages of Receivable Love and four practical laws that explain when care lands and when it does not.
Who it is for: Leaders who sense that their relational patterns — with teams, peers, or stakeholders — are holding them back, and who are ready to do the deeper work required to lead with integrity and trust.
Status: Forthcoming
Book Three
When Fivefold Gifts Unlock
Leadership. Identity. Team Design.
Not all leaders are alike — and that is a feature, not a flaw. This book explores the five foundational leadership archetypes (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, Teacher) as universal models for understanding diverse leadership strengths and weaknesses. By identifying your unique gift-mix, you can lead with greater authenticity and build more resilient, balanced teams.
Who it is for: Founders, executives, team leaders, and organisational consultants who want a deeper framework for understanding why their teams succeed or struggle — and how to build something more intentional and enduring.
