Lead Like People Matter

Dr. Helen Fagan invites you on a transformational journey that begins not with strategies or spreadsheets—but with you. Blending memoir, research, decades of experience, and practical wisdom, this timely book challenges leaders to go beyond surface-level actions to develop the emotional intelligence and cultural humility required to lead in an increasingly divided world.

From her early life as an Iranian international student navigating culture shock and loss, to her pioneering work in healthcare and education, Dr. Fagan shares deeply personal stories and actionable insights to challenge and inspire leaders.

“[Helen] weaves together neuroscience, research, and real-world stories to show how leaders can rewire mindsets, bridge differences, and create environments where people feel truly valued.” – Cohagen Wilkinson, Bloom Growth Coach
