When things get tough, human instinct says ‘hide.’ But what if the ultimate cheat
code for leadership is charging straight into the mess? This highly visual, no-BS book relies on a brutal reality of nature: when a storm rolls in, cows run away,
getting stuck in the misery longer. Buffalo? They drop their heads and charge
directly into the weather, pushing through the pain to hit clear skies faster. Let’s be honest—many leadership books are dense, boring theories written by late-
career executives for late-career executives. Go to Your Storm flips the script. It’s the dynamic, practical playbook that young, emerging leaders have been waiting for. Whether you’re running a startup, leading a school, or managing your first corporate team, this book is the pocket mentorship you need to stop dodging the friction. Don’t be a cow. It’s time to face the chaos and go to your storm.

Children are not mini-adults: they don’t yet have the knowledge, experience, or
hard-won lessons that guide most of us through life. Ted’s book is a powerful reminder that many of the life skills we take for granted - including leadership - must be taught, supported, and practiced. It offers young people a thoughtful roadmap for taking ownership of themselves and helping others along the way.
This is a wonderful book - one I look forward to sharing with my own daughter.

Ted Neitzke is a fire hose of ideas! He is a caring educator and leader who has devoted his life to helping others charge into the inevitable storms that life
sends our way. This book is full of wit and wisdom. More importantly, it’s full of practical application that prompts the reader to move beyond agreeing with the ideas presented, but to putting them into action!”

When I was in high school, we went from a winless basketball season with one coach to the brink of a soccer state championship all because our coach, Ted Neitzke, shifted our mindset into the one featured in Go to Your Storm. Now as a teacher, I hear myself echoing those exact same life- changing lessons to my own students daily. Ted has packaged these profound truths into a beautifully clear, accessible guide that is as easy to teach as it is to read. This isn’t just a book about overcoming adversity; it’s a blueprint for building unstoppable character.

This book is the mindset shift that we all need! Too often we find ourselves acting like cows, but you will learn how to act like a true buffalo! Coming from
someone who had him as a teacher and coach, but now a colleague and friend, I can say Ted exemplifies everything he lays out in this book. Go into your storms!

Go To Your Storm is an impactful reminder for young adults that our greatest growth often begins in the middle of our biggest storms. Through its relatable and heartfelt storytelling, this book challenges readers to face their adversity head-on with courage and grit rather than fear. While reading, I found myself reflecting on my own challenges, realizing that the moments I most wanted to turn away were often the ones that helped me grow, learn, and build resilience. Through the thought-provoking and uplifting messages, Go To Your Storm encourages readers to embrace the uncertainty and fully trust their journey. The book helps readers understand that to become a strong and resilient leader, they need to first face their storm head-on. I am also the one who told him he should write this!
