His clients included JCPenney, eBay, Best Buy, Nordstrom, Levi Strauss & Company, Walgreens, Gateway, and Federal Mogul.

Brendon lives in northern California but still calls Montana, where he grew up, home. To learn more about him or this book, visit www.TheStudentLeadershipGuide.com.

""Too often teachers of leadership make the concept too idealistic, remote and inaccessible. Burchard has done something very special with The Student Leadership Guide. He has made leadership understandable, accessible, and thoroughly desirable. The six ""Es"" alone are worth the price of admission. It should be required reading for all students. -- Bill Treasurer ""Executive leadership coach and author, Right Risk""
