    Eclipse Publishing & Media Ltd

    The Foreword for Open Your Eyes and LEAD was written by Troy Brown, former American football wide receiver (NFL) for the New England Patriots. He is a 3 time Super Bowl Champion and Patriots Football Hall of Famer.

    "Open Your Eyes and LEAD shows readers how to become a positive influence in the world, and how to balance and manage issues they face as they strive for excellence in all they do and remain true to

    The Foreword for Open Your Eyes and LEAD was written by Troy Brown, former American football wide receiver (NFL) for the New England Patriots. He is a 3 time Super Bowl Champion and Patriots Football Hall of Famer.

    "Open Your Eyes and LEAD shows readers how to become a positive influence in the world, and how to balance and manage issues they face as they strive for excellence in all they do and remain true to
    their core beliefs even when it’s easier not to. One of the things that struck me deeply was Capistran’s
    acknowledgment that we all have moments of self-doubt and face adversity in some way; but it’s how we respond to those situations that make us who we are. No one gets through life without a major challenge or two, and Capistran candidly shares and explores her own extreme and unpredictable life experiences that have impacted both her and her family on a profound level. What I admire most about Nancy is that she stepped up and showed up during tough times. Nancy’s ability to remain positive through these challenges has helped her develop street-smart approaches that enabled her to thrive through adversity and guide others.
    Whether you are a seasoned leader, a newly minted entrepreneur, or an aspiring leader, Capistran’s stories of inspiration and advice resonate with everyone who wants to increase their self-confidence,
    improve performance, and become a more balanced, thoughtful leader.
    The book’s narrative empowers readers to identify their own personal weaknesses, create workarounds to roadblocks, and persevere despite the odds. Leadership is a highly intentional act. Open Your Eyes and LEAD reminds us that no matter where we are in life, we always have the power to make a positive change to improve our own lives and the lives of the people around us."
