Acknowledgments

There are many people I would like to thank for their help, insight, and guidance in writing this book. First are the people to whom this book is dedicated, my family, whose support, love, and real-world lessons gave life to this book: my wife, Terry, who has been by my side as my life partner, my alter ego, and my wise counselor, seeing things that I couldn’t see; my daughter Trier, who helped with the original outline and assembly of material and whose work as an elementary school-teacher inspires me and gives lifelong learning to the children in her classes; my daughter Jamie, who has proofed and edited many documents for me and whose quick insights have always been remarkable; and my mother, Evelyn, who has been an ardent advocate and whose vision of me as an author was gratifying. She is a fighter who never gives up on life.

Thank-you to the clients I have had the opportunity to serve. One of the things I enjoy most about my work is the people I meet. Thanks also to the many sales leaders I have had the privilege to work with. Their dedication to their field and their development and openness to learning and sharing is an asset that not only provided many of the examples in this book, but fuels our economy by bringing high-value, innovative solutions to customers. Without those solutions, there would be no progress.

Thank-you also to the following people who were instrumental in helping bring this book into being: George Gulla; Tim Polk; Tony Alessandra, PhD, CPAE, CSP; Linda Bolton; Bill Brooks, CSP, CPAE; Paula Davis; Gil Eagles, CSP, CPAE; Molly Faust; Tom Hausman; Steve Jasper; Susan Giuseppetti; Gordon Lambourne; Frank Pitt; Mark Riesenberg; Judy Shaffer; Cyndi Walsh; and Steve Wojnarowicz. Thanks to Craig Bolt at McGraw-Hill. A special thanks to Barry Neville, my editor at McGraw-Hill for his guidance and insights. Thank-you to each person who played a role in helping me to develop or write this book.
