Thrive under any circumstances with insights from an elite combat veteran
In Ice Cold Leader, special forces combat veteran, FBI agent, and business founder Errol Doebler reveals his unknown and silent battle with a traumatic brain injury incurred as a Navy SEAL in the late 1990s, and how he overcame emotional distress, self-doubt, depression, and anxiety to create a successful and happy personal and professional life until the day he discovered his pain was due to an injury he didn’t even know he had.
Anchored in gripping tales from his time in the elite services, the author describes the unique process he created to not only survive but thrive in challenging situations. In this illuminating book, you’ll learn about:
