Some say that writing is a lonely endeavor. That has not been my experience. This book has many fingerprints on it, and I am thankful for them all.

I am lucky enough to have found the kind of advocate that writers dream about in Rick Wolff, my publisher and editor. Thank you—and your team at Business Plus—for your enthusiasm for this book, your vision of how to bring it together, and your unrelenting support of my ideas.
Giles Anderson, you are exactly the agent I wished for. Thank you for finding Rick, and for your reliability, your integrity, and your commitment. You’re a magnificent collaborator.
Katherine Bell, my editor at Harvard Business Review, thank you for being such a tremendous editor and encouraging partner, for believing in me, for creating space for my voice, and for caring about stories and the very personal side of leadership. Daisy Wademan, thank you for your generous spirit. Without you, my writing would still be sitting on my computer.
I am surrounded by many friends whose editing suggestions continue to shape my own writing. Mermer Blakeslee, thank you for more than thirty years of coaching; it’s just beginning to stick. I’m inspired by your voice and so appreciate the way you help me strengthen mine. Anthony Bregman, Howie Jacobson, and Eleanor, thank you for reading my pieces and having something to say about each one that makes it better. Your opinions mean a great deal to me (even in those instances when I don’t follow your advice). Esther DeCambra, thank you for your impressive insights and for giving up your life for two weeks. Betsy Inglesby, thank you, for your special affinity, for commas. Stacy Bass, thank you for your artistic eye and, together with Howie, your irrepressible enthusiasm. You guys inspire me. Paul Burger, thank you for your sage advice and for having my back; you deserve to be paid more. Jessica Gelson, thank you for being such a champion of my writing (and me).
Thank you to my clients who are so often my source of inspiration. I am so appreciative of your willingness to be a part of my stories, and I never take for granted the trust you put in me. Thank you to the readers of my blog; your presence, comments, and emails keep me going. Thank you to GNOWP, to Bavli Yerushalmi, to the Rosenfields and the Bakers, and to my family—Anthony and Malaika, Bertie and Rachel, Robbie, Susan (your love is still so clearly with us), Catherine, and Margaret Harrison, Jerry and Margaret Wolfe, and all the Weintraubs; your words of encouragement and caring criticism energize me and offer me invaluable guidance.
Mama and Papa, thank you for believing in me, loving me, growing with me, and supporting me. Always.
Isabelle, Sophia, and Daniel, you are such brilliant lights in my life. Thank you for your love, your laughter, your joy, your sadness, and even your anger. Thank you for being so fully yourselves.
And Eleanor, my love, I could not invent a more perfect partner. Thank you for loving me for who I am while encouraging me to grow. I thank God every day that we are traveling this life together. You make me a better person. You make it easy to take risks.
