Enjoyed your discourse with Mr. Wright in Chapter 13. You have a nice flair for storytelling which leads to a gut-level connection with the reader or the person you are having a dialogue with. I would give my right arm to be half as articulate as you were in the chapter. --AV Worldwide Financial Group Inc.

The good news is the chapter is really awesome. The bad news is you now have a third book in the works!! Really Christina, the Phoenix Challenge was compelling. It was gripping reading. And it is obvious that these are not simply words to use. You are living the challenge. J --JD University of Michigan Dearborn Business School

Your seven steps can rescue folks if they are willing to become personally aware (not just narcissistic), and have the discipline to practice reflection (and not just practice projection) and the gut courage to tough their way thru the other five steps to real and realized success. (Even if they just get part-way, it's better than nothing!) --BP - EPIConsortium Inc.
