Is Not What You Are but Who You Become That Matters

My life has been fast and furious since I quit my job six months ago.

I launched my book ‘Stretch for Change.’ and a behavior change firm. I’ve been writing every day— dozens of articles and half-way in my second book. Keynote speeches, workshops, consulting projects: I’ve been traveling a lot.
