" I couldn't put it down! In the time of Covid-19, as we are all experiencing change in the way we work, our family lives, and relationships in general, we need to be able to "take our shoes off" to evolve, change, and grow. This book resonates on many levels and is so relevant for the world and times we live in today."

"I wish I had read this book many years ago. There are several critical times in my life I would have handled differently if I had. I will be thinking of the lessons in here often going forward both as a partner and a leader. I agree, the world would be a better place if more people worked to 'take their shoes off first.'"

"Reading this book made me feel like something cracked open. It inspired me to think more holistically and calmly about what is going right, where I'm stuck, what I want to do differently, and what I'm frustrated with. I was highlighting like crazy! It's engaging without being too cute, wise without being preachy, and motivational without being annoying. I want to use this on all our client engagements as a means for setting the stage for change work."
