US
In May I published my first book \"The Changemaker: the Art of Building Better Leaders\" with Advantage|ForbesBooks outlining in detail through real world experience the seven attributes of changemaking leaders: creativity, courage, connecting, transparency, listening, composure and character. Whether you\'re an established CEO or just starting to build a business, whether you\'re embarking on a foray into public service or have spent a lifetime in politics, you are a leader. But true leadership requires becoming a changemaker.

SKILLS
ABOUT DEKE COPENHAVER
During my career I\'ve been provided a unique opportunity to gain a tremendous amount of insight into many fields having successfully pursued multi-sector career paths in banking, real estate and development and land conservation while serving on the boards of multiple nonprofits and foundations. Having served as Mayor of Augusta, Georgia for nine years I developed the ability to identify the intersection points for business, government and the non-profit sector while strategically forming successful public/private partnerships. Being provided a total immersion learning experience in all of these sectors has given me a wealth of institutional knowledge that can provide value add to businesses, local governments, nonprofits and individuals through a unique perspective on how to properly manage outcomes from many different perspectives. I specialize in collaborative leadership and identifying the common ground that every sector can rally around in order to better benefit their communities and their own organizations as well. In simple terms I\'m a creative problem solver.
