ABOUT :

This is more than a book; it is a spiritual testament, a profound journey into the very soul of leadership. Lifted to Lead is a powerful, heartfelt memoir that reveals where true leadership is ultimately forged: not in a boardroom, but in the depths of self-awareness and a divine connection to the purpose you are called to serve. This memoir chronicles an extraordinary and miraculous life. From the war-torn streets of Saigon, where he was left abandoned and paralyzed by polio, to a new life in America after surviving Operation Babylift, Stefan Bean's path is a living testimony to the sheer, unwavering resilience granted by providence.This is a story of love, immense physical and emotional adversity overcome, and a journey that ultimately proves the transformative, life-giving power of faith, purpose, and human connection, all guided by a higher hand.

Beyond the moving narrative, this book unveils the innovative and deeply personal LIFTED to Lead Framework. Each value in this framework is not an abstract concept, but a core leadership principle forged in the crucible of challenging life experiences and rooted in a spiritual foundation: Listen and learn, Inspire potential, Foster authenticity, Transform through hope, Empower through strength, and Develop others. Dr. Bean’s unforgettable journey is an invitation for you to look inward, to trace your own scars as signs of grace, and to transform your past challenges into your most powerful, God-given strengths. Lifted to Lead offers readers a vital, fresh perspective, guiding them back to the essential, higher purpose of leading others and inspiring growth from the most unlikely–and most profoundly human–of places.
