Discovering Significance: A Self-Reflection and Journaling Process about how our Experiences and Relationships affect our Success and Impact by Philip Giordano is a self-help book for those seeking to reach their highest potential while also staying authentic to themselves. Giordano provides tools for journaling and reflection through his anecdotal writing all the way to a section at the end of each chapter, called Phil's Coaching Corner, that somewhat summarizes what has been presented in the previous chapter before giving the reader questions to answer and inspirational quotes.

What I found in Giordano's well-written book was relatable. I found myself doing what Discovering Significance was asking readers who would be actively seeking this sort of guidance would do; I was reflecting. When I wasn't reflecting, I was engrossed in his often entertaining tales, his stories and insights were thoughtful and quite wholesome. Overall, I think people who lack (or have low) self-confidence or are otherwise introverted would appreciate Giordano's wisdom.

One of the most powerful chapters in Discovering Significance, for me, was Regrets. "Regrets that stand long enough can create beliefs that limit our actions and put perceptions in place that may not be true." It went deep into the turmoil we feel when we look back at our "what-ifs" and how regrets limit us and our outlook. At its core, Discovering Significance is about living life with purpose and realizing your significance. I urge those having trouble seeking out their great side to pick up a copy of Giordano's book; they will not regret it.

In the prologue of Discovering Significance, Philip Giordano defines several concepts that became the basis for this thought-provoking work. He rightly points out that most leaders focus on either success (a measurement of achievement), or significance (a measure of impact). The best leaders have combined the two, and the process of how to reach one’s full potential as a leader is explored in a comprehensive, understandable manner. Philip Giordano presents a wonderful exploration of this leadership model in Discovering Significance: A Self-Reflection and Journaling Process about how our Experiences and Relationships affect our Success and Impact. The book is organized into three main parts: The Foundation, The Frame, and The Details. The epilogue, A Call to Action, is a directive to the reader on how to tell his/her own story to help others - a perfect ending.

Philip Giordano highlights the value in processing life and relationship experiences as a method in understanding and improving the leadership role. These insights can become guideposts in the work lives of readers. The author’s style of writing is clear and concise. Each section builds upon the previous one in a smooth, flowing manner. There is a good balance of storytelling and concepts in each chapter. The journaling questions at the end of the chapters are ideal for introspective pondering.
