Who thinks they’re a leader?

Every time Dr. Cié Gee asks that question in a room, about a third of the hands go up. The rest look around to see if they should.

You don’t need a title to lead. But you do need to decide what kind of leader you’ll be.

The Door Holder™ begins in a rural Texas elementary school, with a laminated name card and a line of kids heading to recess.

The Line Leader marches ahead and never looks back. The Door Holder stays behind, holds the door, and makes sure everyone gets through.

Dr. Gee learned the difference the hard way, and she tells you the story honestly.

The book is about leadership that is relational, not transactional, and about building Agency: the belief that you can figure it out and handle the outcomes. You build it in yourself, and in the people you lead.

But reading about leadership is only the beginning.

Because eventually you have to lead.

That’s why your book comes with something very different:

Your Own BookCoach AI

This isn’t a chatbot that simply waits for you to ask questions.

It’s a coach.

And there’s an important difference.

A chatbot gives you an answer.

A coach asks you questions.

A coach asks how you’re really doing.

A coach helps you see the person you’ve been avoiding a real conversation with.

A coach holds you accountable without shame.

That’s what the BookCoach AI is designed to do.

Dr. Cié Gee’s Teaching—Built Into Your Coach

Imagine having a warm, honest guide beside you when a leadership moment gets messy.

Your coach is built on The Door Holder and Dr. Gee’s teaching. It stays faithful to her terms and stories, and tells you plainly when something isn’t covered.

The AGENCY Framework

A: Acknowledgment. See your people. Keep your promises.

G: Growth. Give specific, sincere praise and clear feedback.

E: Empathy. Empathy is a choice.

N: Needs. Build psychological safety and prevent burnout.

C: Confidence. Quiet the negative self-talk and learn to delegate.

Y: You. You can’t hold the door if you are a burnt piece of toast.

It Starts With You

Before it tells you anything, your coach wants to know where you are.

Who are you leading?

What’s the hardest conversation you’re putting off?

What are you white-knuckling that someone else could carry?

Your coach asks one question at a time, then helps you take one clear next step.

The Book Gives You the Framework. The Coach Helps You Lead.

That’s what makes the combination of The Door Holder™ + BookCoach AI different.

The book gives you the language.

And then you have a coach that can turn around and ask:

"Okay. Now let’s talk about your team."

Who needs you to hold the door right now?

What are they waiting on you for?

And what’s one thing you can do this week?

That’s coaching.

Hold the Door

The Door Holder™ shows you the way.

Then your BookCoach AI makes it personal.

You don’t just finish the book understanding leadership.

You finish it with a coach ready to help you lead.

The Door Holder™ + BookCoach AI

Read the book. Meet your coach. Hold the door.
