Acknowledgments

Finally, this book would not have been possible without the support, guidance, and love of a handful of people. My agent, Grace Freedson, was always available to help me with key decisions about the focus of the content and she believed in my book from day one. The world’s best, best friend, Jim Hock, believed in me more than I believed in myself; he is the definition of a true friend. My fellow coaches have been so encouraging and three of them (Anne Loehr, Lori Zukin, and Brad Sterl) knew when to consult, when to coach, when to encourage, and when to be kindly critical. And my parents (Richard and Joyce Hensch) have encouraged me to be my best and do great things with a sense humility and modesty. All have taught me about the value of close, supportive relationships.
