Karen Rowe, you are a rock star of a writer and I could not have done this book without you. Pam Bayne, you have helped with every step of the process and, without you, the book would still be a pile of blog posts and half-formed thoughts
John Demartini, your willingness to invest in other people’s leadership inspires me. Thanks for your investment in me.
To my test readers and coaches, I love you. You simply rock: Randy Peyser, Ella Chesterman, Neil Thrussell, Marilyn Suttle, Charmaine Hammond, Justin Robinson, Tina Thrussell, Jaden Sterling, Frank Moffatt, Prab Lashar, and especially Jill Fischer and Alicia Dattner for helping me find my sense of humor. Randy Gage, you are a gift to the speaking profession, not only in what you teach but in how you create the space for all of us to become better. I am blessed to have you in my court.
And most importantly, Shawne Duperon—you make everything I do better. I simply love you.
