Scott Annan’s book, AIMbitious: A Life of Enlightened Self-Leadership, is a Zappos Family library title, and earlier this spring he talked to us about how the principles of his book and business, both sharing the AIMbitious name, are helping inspire people to lead more fulfilling lives.

His philosophy in AIMbitious will teach you how to find your passion and purpose so that you can create a life of success, happiness and fulfillment. Whether you’re in need of a significant change, looking for added guidance and motivation, or are seeking that extra edge to improve upon a thriving enterprise, he can show you how to bring greater meaning to your everyday life through mindset, vision, and an attainable – and sustainable – action plan.

Check out his book here and listen to the interview below:

Are you having a hard time getting your senior leadership on board with your culture changing ideas and think that you can’t make it happen because management doesn’t support you?

We welcome those of you dealing with skeptical bosses to watch this story of a woman who came to a Zappos Insights Bootcamp and retuned with lots of great ideas but no support from her management team. She realized that the culture in her workplace was more important than her management team realized and took on the mentality of “better to ask forgiveness than permission.” As she and a team of people worked together to roll out new concepts and ideas, customer satisfaction grew and management had no choice but to get on the bus.

Watch her tell the whole inspiring story in the webinar, and ask her questions about the steep battle and the ultimate victory. Jan Day is a hero in the Zappos Insights community, and proof that change can be made even when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

This webinar is open to Zappos Insights members which will be on Tuesday July 20, 2010 featuring Jan Poston Day, Sr. Director, Client Engagement at Blackboard.
