Acknowledgments
This book would not exist were it not for the sage advice given to me by four extraordinary women in 2018 while I was in the process of writing The Healing Organization: Nilima Bhat (my wise coauthor on Shakti Leadership), the luminous and inspirational Lynne Twist (author of Living a Committed Life and The Soul of Money and cofounder of The Pachamama Alliance), Suzanne Vaughan (my brilliant and insightful coach) and Louisa Bohm, who helped me connect to my true nature and understand myself at a deeper level. Each of them told me to slow down, spend time with myself, and work on my own healing – a process in which each of them played an important role. I will be forever grateful for the many gifts they have brought to my life and to the world.
I am deeply grateful to Betty Sue Flowers for her wisdom and her generosity in taking the time to listen to my life story and assuring me that it was a story worth telling. She was the first reader of the first draft of the book and gave me invaluable feedback on what the book needed to be.
Joseph Jaworksi is a towering figure in the world of leadership development and one of my heroes. His book Synchronicity stands alongside Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning among the books that have had the greatest influence on my life. I am blessed to be able to call Joseph a friend and a guide. Thank you, Joseph, for writing the Foreword to this book, and for introducing me to Betty Sue Flowers.
