The Vital Core Framework helps senior leaders sharpen their leadership edge and achieve more of what they want without investing more time.


Built around five essential disciplines — Vision, Intention, Telling Your Story, Attitude, and Leverage — the framework offers a clear roadmap for impact and advancement.


Audrey Dorsey blends real coaching stories with practical strategies so executives can sharpen influence, align with organizational goals, and deliver results.

This is a roadmap for thriving in today’s high-stakes environment—clear, actionable, and built for leaders who want more impact and more opportunity.


Together, the five elements show leaders how to:

  1. Define a compelling Vision

  2. Set Intentions that drive action

  3. Tell your Story to win support

  4. Shape the Attitude that inspires resilience

  5. Leverage the tools, relationships, and resources that deliver results

I've read Audrey Dorsey's THE VITAL CORE of SUCCESSFUL LEADERS and give it my highest recommendation. It's practical, full of the age-old wisdom that you've heard before - but captured in a fresh and lively new way.

The coaching stories at the front of each chapter provide insight into the challenges that leaders have, as well as the core strengths that they draw on, that are directly related to their success.

Further, Audrey recently hosted a webinar for the Institute of Management Accounts (IMA) where the audience of almost 900 people overwhelmingly rated the material as useful and applicable to their current situations. So, get it - read it - and share with your inner network! I have.

IThis is perhaps the best self-management book since Dale Carnegie's masterpiece "How to Win Friends and Influence People". In her book, Audrey Dorsey does not present anything new, but presents the concepts that you already know, but yet in a different light. She also provides bite-size nuggets of wisdom that are easy to recall. For example, one chapter is entitled "Eliminate Fear, Doubt and Anxiety" which discusses how those three emotions can hold you back from accomplishing your goals. By coining the three as "FDA", Audrey makes it memorable by saying "Defeat your FDA!"

This book is written with the intent of being easy to digest. I will personally use this book in the future when I am coaching others in their own professional growth.

Go ahead and order this book. Spend a little time with it - less than 10 minutes a day for three weeks is all it will take. It will have an incredible impact on your life, and the lives that you impact as a result.
