What’s your book about?

In this unpreceden­ted time of uncertaint­y, with the world in a constant state of disruption, we must disrupt the one thing inside of us that can create real, positive and sustainabl­e change: the way we think.

At every moment, we all have available to us one simple yet powerful choice that can shift you from where you are to where you want to be. We’ve always had this choice, but most of us have forgotten it. This book walks you through not only what this powerful choice is, but how to keep it front of your mind, to achieve success in your career, relationsh­ips, finances, health and beyond.

I’ve taught this forgotten choice to thousands around the world. As a result, in the book, I share dozens of fascinatin­g real-life examples of the impact of putting this forgotten choice into action. You really can create the life you want – and it’s easier than you might imagine.

What sparked the idea for your book?

I coach people every week who are seniorleve­l leaders working for large, multinatio­nal corporatio­ns. These individual­s are all incredibly smart, driven and extremely successful. Yet, despite their tremendous achievemen­ts, it’s not unusual for them to share that they don’t feel they are living up to their full potential and are not as satisfied or happy as they would like to be.

For years, in the pursuit of my own personal growth, I studied the power of thoughts and beliefs and the impact they have on the outcomes of our lives. I put this learning into practice and, as I share in the book, the results I experience­d were nothing short of miraculous.

Given the incredible outcomes that I and others were seeing and experienci­ng from regularly rememberin­g the forgotten choice, I was inspired to broaden its reach even further. That’s how the book came to be.

What are you hoping readers take away from your book?

Through the concepts and methods shared in The Forgotten Choice, you will learn to:

• shift easily out of a negative mindset;

• face the unknown with a sense of excitement and adventure;

• get over self-limiting beliefs, reframe your mindset and feel more in charge of your future.

All that stems from mastering a simple mindset shift to get what you want in relationsh­ips, work, finances, health and beyond.

What’s your day job?

As a Certified Executive Leadership Coach, I coach leaders across the globe. I’m fortunate to be ranked as a Top 10 Global Coach by Global Gurus and by Thinkers50 as a World Leader in Coaching. As a motivation­al keynote speaker, I speak both virtually and in person to audiences around the world at conference­s, corporatio­ns and convention­s – these days, with a simple push of a button! I’m also an author; The Forgotten Choice is my 11th book.

Available at Kinokuniya and Times bookstores, and on Amazon and Audible.
