Most experts agree that food and exercise have an impact on physical health. Likewise, developing your capacity and capability will impact your leadership success.
Capacity building will include integrating mind, body, and spirit into a powerful and purposeful whole. This requires focused attention and commitment. This development allows you to fully be your unique self.

Another meaning is our ability or power to do, experience, or understand something (excerpts from Merriam-Webster Dictionary).

“From the start of this book, I felt like I was having a conversation with Mel, which is a privilege I have had and appreciate over the years. As I went along reading and reflecting on the many insights and lessons in the book, one of the experiences that stood out for me was I get to appreciate the gift I am to this world through my contributions. I am reminded to keep being a leader with my family, friends and people I encounter every day.
Thank you, Mel, for always being the solid rock for all these 6 C’s. This will be a book I will continue to reread again and again, as it is an all-time easy guide as I move forward in my leadership journey.”
