Deborah helps you make the connections between your already abundant talents and your opportunities to develop new ones. This book clearly lays out "for the sake of what" and offers multiple specific practices that will help you move out of your comfort zone into mastery of several new skills. Her tone emanates all the warmth and compassion and confidence in you that you experience as she shares her brilliance with you in person. The tool box references are invaluable. This is an evergreen reference book that I'll be able to use for years to come, knowing Deborah will continue to update and enhance the resources she finds through her continued explorations.
