"I wanted to pass along that I used some of your skills from What to Say and How to Say It on Friday and earlier today. Both conversations were with the director of my daughter's school, after a particularly upsetting incident. Before I made that phone call and before we went to the school this morning, we looked at the book chapter 5 and chapter 6 and decided to be strategic, handle our emotions, and get the entire picture from both sides. We felt comfortable with what they told us.

A year ago, my husband would have burned a hot path to the school and kicked everyone's BEEP. A year ago, I would have reacted over-emotionally instead of rationally. And then had to apologize. So just wanted to say thanks. I am a work in progress, but your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. I appreciate the book, and your time. I am happy to have met you and since last year, I have been working on myself with so much of the advice you have graciously doled out to me." (ML-Murfreesboro, NC)

Inside Track: Executives Coaching Executives

A Practical Guide for Enhancing Leadership Success

Have you ever wondered how a colleague of yours appears to suddenly "surge" with breakthrough thinking or lands a plum appointment to a board or task force? More often than not, these individuals have benefited from executive coaching, either from a professional coach or from a well-respected colleague, or a combination of the two.

Executive leadership development requires on-going and highly personal coaching. That isn't easy, given the uniqueness and isolation associated with leadership roles. Inside Track examines the benefits of executive coaching and the application of strategic thinking to the coaching process, as well as the key factors required for executives to successfully coach each other. We give you ways to measure your own and others' receptivity to peer coaching, determine guidelines for coach selection and set goals for executive leadership development.

Money Muscle: 122 Exercises to Build Financial Strength

"Are you really serious about keeping more of your hard-earned money? Is your money working for you? Does your month outlast your money? Do you have friends or family members whose month outlasts their money? Do you feel unduly stressed out about where your money is going? Do you suffer from "gon-doit?" (I'm "gon-do" better about managing my money!) Are you waiting for "Round-Tuits"? (I'm going to do better about saving/investing when I get "round to it"!) Are you overcome by events or circumstances that drain your money resources? Do you want to "walk-the-talk" (act in better accord with your values or beliefs) with personal money matters? Are you an excellent role model for your children and others concerning money matters?

We wrote this book because of our sincere wish for everyone to be in a position to obtain financial strength..."Money Muscle"... especially to avoid making the mistakes we've made!
