DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to all those people who have given their time, energy, dedication, and love to the continuation and perpetuation of our MMS Institute Coach Training, Management Development courses, our personal Development courses, especially, the Inner Negotiation Workshop.

My two loving and dedicated partners: Lynn Stewart and Michael Pomije, without whom it would not have been possible.

To Warren Bennis, Diane Reverand, and Jim Stein, who believed in me and provided feedback in ways that truly enhanced this book.

All the case studies used in this book were based on actual experiences with workshop participants, clients of MMS Institute or The MMS Worldwide Institute. All names have been changed to honor their confidentiality. It is with gratitude that they are acknowledged in their anonymity for their contribution to our work and this book.
