There is a well of untapped potential inside you, just waiting to be unleashed.
Everyone has superpowers when they are a child. We tend to lose them as we grow up, but they’re always there, right below the surface, ready for us to reactivate them and fully manifest our human potential.
Learn to reclaim your own superhero birthright with The Five Lost Superpowers.
As you grew up, you were taught to dampen the natural strength of your Curiosity, Resilience, Authenticity, Compassion, and Playfulness. Understand why you came to believe that powers don’t fit in a “grown-up” world, and discover how to reignite them to unlock your best self.
Chapter by chapter, you’ll explore the innate leadership tool belt you forgot you had and reconnect with the leader you were born to be—the kind of leader and person who knows how to activate superpowers in themselves and everyone around them.
Who are the JMReid Group Four?
Wherever authenticity and compassion have been forgotten…wherever curiosity is stifled or playfulness is banned…wherever resilience finds itself in peril…the champions of the JMRG Four will be there to answer the call. (Literally. They all have cell phones.)Together, John Reid, Andrew Reid, Corena Chase, and Lynae Steinhagen have sworn to help restore the lost superpowers of humanity—and to have a lot of fun along the way. They hope you find this book as enjoyable to read as it was to write. You can find them online at jmreidgroup.com.
