E-Book Overview
An innovative yet practical new approach to reaching goals and attaining success.This book offers a direct link to understanding one's own motivations and goals, and guides readers through a self-exploratory process that begins with four simple questions: • Who are you and what do you want? • Where are you and why are you here? • What will you do and how will you do it? • Who are your allies and how can they help? Based on the authors' decades of work as executive coaches and leadership trainers, the insights, reallife anecdotes, and exercises in Who Are You and What Do You Want? allow readers to shape their own unique life plan, tailored to their own needs and to gain clarity about their purpose, passions, and values.
