Julian S. Newman, a West Michigan-based diversity and inclusion leader, CEO of Culture Creative, and founder of The FutureCast Foundation, has released his latest leadership book, Beautiful Together: How to Become a Better Leader and Bridge Builder. Published by Newman Publishing, the book is available in paperback and eBook formats, with an audiobook coming soon. Beautiful Together is now available for purchase at JulianSNewman.com and Amazon.com.

Beautiful Together guides leaders, HR professionals, and individuals seeking practical and empathetic tools to resolve conflicts, build connections, and foster unity in the workplace, community, and at home. It combines leadership development principles with inspirational stories and actionable insights, creating a unique resource for those committed to becoming better leaders and bridge builders.

"I wrote this book for my four daughters," said Newman. "I want to create a better and more beautiful world and future for them to live in. By sharing the lessons I've learned, I hope to help others lead with empathy and civility, especially in moments of conflict."

The book's foreward is written by Marla Parler, Ph.D., and it has garnered early praise from notable leaders, including former NFL cornerback Michael Allan Coe and Stagwell's Chief Marketing Officer, Deirdre McGlashan.

"As a former professional athlete and Super Bowl champion, Beautiful Together gives us a detailed guide on the root of connection and how to manufacture your influence into positive outcomes, no matter your background. The transferable skills institute a framework that can be applied into locker rooms, board rooms, communities, and within our families," Coe said.

Julian Newman, whose thought leadership has been featured in Forbes, NPR, and PBS, brings more than 20 years of experience in leadership development. His proprietary Akoni System has been used to coach professional athletes and executives at companies like Leo Burnett, Meijer, and UN Women.
