“I bought a copy of your latest book Engaging the Hearts and Minds of all your Employees last Friday, and was so mesmerized by your content and Passionate Performance model that I had to read it in one sitting. Your concepts resonated so strongly with me and provided much insight into the dissatisfaction and disengagement I’ve seen and experienced in the workplace.”

“You may not know this but I have read most of your books. I have found the two you have written on ’employee engagement’ to be some of the best and useful content on the subject. I have shared copies of Engaging the Hearts and Minds of all your Employees and Passionate Performance to numerous business associates. I have a personal library of over 2000 books and have read 2-3 books a month for years. I’d like to believe I know what I’m talking about when it comes to good business reading.”
