Book Testimonials

I was so consumed by your book’s content; I could not put it down. I have an extensive background in global leadership development and found your ideas and approach so refreshing that I realized I had underlined most of what I’d already read! Thank you for your very thorough and useful work.
Jeneva

Thank you for such a thought provoking book. While reading your book I often thought about other’s perceptions of me based on my actions. This book was really good!
Peter Rakoczy, Microsoft

 This should be mandatory reading for all of those going into management. For 4 years I’ve been trying to figure “me out” in this role. And it’s starting to become clear. Fabulous, fabulous read!!!! It’s almost like half of your book was taken from my “memoirs”….. 
Carlos McKinley, Director, Developer & Platform Evangelism Communications Sector of North America

Leadership Therapy is one of the most valuable books that I have read in recent past with respect to self transformation. The principle of focusing on thoughts and not on feeling has been an eye opening experience. I am already seeing improvements in myself after reading the principles outlined in the book.
