Publisher's summary

Written as an engaging parable, Swim!: How a Shark, a Suckerfish, and a Parasite Teach You Leadership, Mentoring, and Next Level Success brings to life real-world challenges (and their solutions) and presents them in simple, yet powerful terms. The book explores the vital importance of networking, explores the steps that lead to successful networking, and explains why we need it.

Swim! dives deep into the concepts of mentorship and the power of human connection. While too many business leaders spend their time obsessing about facts, figures, and the bottom line, it is more important for them to learn to manage relationships. Once attention shifts to relationships, businesses, and careers can reach the next level of success. Written by a leading motivational speaker, this book offers ideas that can be applied to both personal and business life. This book will allow you to understand the importance of establishing habits and rituals; tap into the power of a positive mindset; discover the value of teamwork; and learn to use intentional language about workplace culture.

Swim! is an entertaining book that highlights the significant concept of connecting and building relationships and includes the tools needed to become more self-aware about our roles and contributions in our industries.

Diiferent approach to teaching leadership traits

Content was good and it was a neat twist on getting the message across. The story line was a bit childish but overall I would recommend this book to others.

Excellent book

I had the Opportunity to see Mr. Bond at a Paparazzi convention. I liked his message and was curious about the shark the sucker fish and the parasite. The book really is a good read.

Great lessons with a good story.

Easy to listen to. Listen while driving in my territory. I've heard Walter Bond before and I'm not surprised he put out a good product on his first try. Sometimes it's good to get information in various forms.

Great story, even better lessons!!

I had no idea what to expect when I started this. I am happy to admit that it was not only inspiring and educational, but also very engaging and emotional. I found myself tearing up, cheering and talking back at some points. I was very pleased with the narration, the course of the story and what I walked away with. I definitely recommend it.
