ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Our clients have always been the focus of our activities. We’re forever grateful for the opportunities you provided to us to coach you and learn from you.

Many of our friends, colleagues, and family members provided us with advice and critique early in the development of this book as well as during its production. We are enormously grateful to all of you.

Helping us to put this book in your hands were Ellen Neuborne, who assisted us in navigating the publishing industry, and Cynthia Zigmund, our wonderful literary agent, who provided us with startlingly good advice and critique and found the right publisher for us at Career Press.

Finally, though certainly not least, we are thankful to our wives for their patience and understanding. They believed in us and in our goal of bringing our ideas to the printed page and thus to a broader audience.
