This book is a metaphorical look at lamplighting, and instances where we can take steps to keep our mental lamps alight and the streets of our life well lit. It takes a closer look at some of our cultural myths, preconceptions and superstitions. It examines some of the "young wives' tales" that sneak, via parlance, into the fabric of our understanding of our world - that world that our perceptions have, often while we were looking the other way, fashioned into being 'the real world'.

We live within the boundaries we set for ourselves. In this tale, Ham the Huddler sets off on a journey to discover the lightbringer. Along the way, he learns new things, teaches others, explores parts of the world he'd never known, and - most of all - discovers things about himself. His traveling companions share what they learn from him and, in the process, change themselves and the world around them.

Lamplighters are known by their light. In the 1800's, streets were illumined by lamplighters. They would walk down the street, lighting lamps one by one. As the sun would set, you would lose sight of them, and you would only know they were there because the lights would continue to be lit, one by one. The Lamp Lighter Effect is a collection of 12 leadership principles that allow you to share your light with the world, create a successful business, and be known by your long term impact. This is a podcast for leaders. This podcast begins with 12 episodes outlining each of the 12 principles.
