Learn to find your own superpowers with this inspiring journey of self-acceptance In Superpower, bestselling author Kate Leavell delivers a compelling story of self-love, appreciation, and the power of sharing and connecting with those around us through vulnerability and understanding.

In Superpower, you'll find: * Games to help you discover common interests and get to know those around you on a deeper level * Exercises to learn about what it means to have different perspectives and learn from the stories of others * Discussion questions for deeper reflection and for group book studies An eye-opening and thought-provoking journey through difference, self-acceptance, and understanding, Superpower shows us how to impact the world for good using our very own, built-in superpowers.

This book is dedicated to my amazing kiddos, Michael, Drew, and Meredith. Thank you for sharing your superpowers with me. You each are an inimitable gift to this world, and you inspire me every day.
Acknowledgments
I had to first take the journey to learn acceptance and love of myself before I could write this book. The inner work I had to do was the hardest part, and I never could have transformed and embraced life the way I have without the love and support of so many amazing people in my life. My grandfather, Albert Conord, passed away while I was editing the final copy and as I sat at his funeral I was flooded with gratitude for including the character of Mr. E’s dad that was inspired by the conversations I’ve had with him. I want to thank my dad; my brother, Dave; and my sister, Sarah; for always being at the ready when I need help or late-night edits. Trent, the original Mr. Inimitable, this story was inspired by your infatuation with the word inimitable and the way you live your life unapologetically true to yourself. Jon Gordon, there aren't enough pages to express the gratitude I have for you and your mentorship; your family; your awesome and supportive wife, Kathryn; your friendship; and for believing in me even when I sometimes struggled to believe in myself. Thank you for every amazing opportunity and for believing in Stick Together. Janine Tucker, I don't have words to thank you for how you've gone above and beyond for me and my baby girl; you are an amazing mentor and human. Special love and shoutout to the Jon Gordon Team: you are truly my family. Thank you to my loyal supporters, clients, followers, and mentors, your encouragement has kept me going. To Bill, you are inimitable in every way and I'm so much better for it. Your inspiring ability to persevere in any circumstance, your limitless encouragement, and your relentless belief in me gave me the strength to finish this project and keep chasing my dreams.
Introduction
“Mr. Inimitable, tell us again how you got your nickname,” said Michael as they walked out to the soccer field. The other students joined in asking to hear the story again, one of their favorites to listen to.
Mr. Inimitable, also known as Coach Trent to his beloved team and students, smiled as he remembered the day he learned exactly who he is and, more important, what his superpower is. He thought of his beloved teacher Mr. E, who had affected his life so much and was never far from his mind. He looked at the building of this amazing school that changed his life and his perspective, and is now the very same building where he loves to teach and coach the boys' and girls' soccer teams.
“Okay, after practice, I'll leave a little extra time and I'll tell it to you again. But the deal is, after I tell you the story, you all have to share what your own superpowers are with the team!”
