Jump Off the Dock: A Leadership Framework for Creating Courage in Others

What does it take to help someone step off the edge of fear and into their full potential?Jump Off the Dock is not another leadership manual stacked with theories and checklists. It's a story-shaped invitation, born from a life-altering accident, a father kneeling beside his son on a 15-foot dock, and the profound realization that the most transformative leaders don't push people into courage. They become the bridge to it.Built around the LEAD Framework — Listen, Evaluate, Ask, and Develop Reflection — this book gives leaders a practical, soul-level system for awakening the dormant potential in the people around them. Whether you lead a classroom, a company, a coaching staff, a congregation, or a household, this framework will change not just how you lead, but who you become in the process.Trey weaves personal narrative, biblical wisdom, neuroscience-backed research, and battle-tested leadership tools into a guide that is both deeply practical and spiritually grounding. Each chapter challenges you to slow down, listen at a deeper level, ask better questions, and create the kind of reflective environment where real growth, in others and yourself, becomes possible.Jump Off the Dock is for the leader who knows there's something more and is finally ready to help others find it, too.Because sometimes, the most powerful thing a leader can do isn't to act first... but to become the steady bridge between fear and courage.
