Synergy and Sparks: New Book by Emmy Award–Winning Author G. Riley Mills Redefines Leadership in a Changing World

Drawing from leading Pinnacle Performance Company, a global communications training authority Mills offers a toolkit for modern leadership.

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pinnacle Performance Company is proud to announce the upcoming release of Synergy and Sparks: Unlock Excellence through Communication, Collaboration, and Influence.

A groundbreaking leadership guide from Emmy Award–winning author and co-founder G. Riley Mills. Published by Wiley, the book launches September 10, 2025, and is now available for pre-order.

At a time when hybrid work, global teams, and constant disruption demand more from leaders, Synergy and Sparks delivers a fresh framework built on six core pillars of leadership: communication, presence, influence, storytelling, connection, and collaboration.

Mills argues that these skills, once considered “soft”, are now the critical drivers of organizational success.

Blending performance techniques inspired by seasoned actors with cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, and actionable exercises, Mills equips leaders to:

● Communicate with clarity and authenticity in high-stakes environments.
● Build a presence that inspires confidence in boardrooms, classrooms, and Zoom calls.
● Influence outcomes through trust and credibility.
● Harness storytelling to spark engagement and change behavior.
● Strengthen connection across teams, cultures, and generations.
● Drive collaboration that fuels innovation and results.

“This book is about igniting sparks—between people, ideas, and possibilities,” said Mills. “In an era of complexity, the leaders who will stand apart are those who can connect, engage, and inspire at every level."

Drawing from two decades leading Pinnacle Performance Company—a global communications training authority trusted by Fortune 500 firms, government bodies, and educational institutions in more than 40 countries—Mills offers a toolkit for modern leadership that goes beyond theory.

Early praise for Synergy and Sparks calls it “a must-read for anyone serious about elevating their leadership presence” and “the bridge between human connection and organizational Excellence.”
