Page 308 - The Power to Change Anything

Acknowledgments

e are deeply grateful to many who have helped us
throughout the years in our research, teaching, test-
Wing, and learning.
First, to our families for your influence on us. Thanks for
the love and support that has changed us, inspired us, and
enabled us. Thank you particularly for your sacrifice and
patience when we were far from home—or at home, but overly
focused, head down over a keyboard.
Second, thanks to our colleagues, associates, and team mem-
bers at VitalSmarts who help in hundreds of ways—working to
achieve our mission, serving customers, training the skills to help
change lives, and supporting one another with care, loyalty, and
competence. To all (all is now a large number) we say thanks.
Highlighting just a few is tough, but necessary. So an additional
thanks to James Allred, Brad Anderson, Mike Carter, Mary
Dondiego, Jeff Gibbs, Todd King, Emily Moss, Joanne Staheli,
Brett Walker, Yan Wang, and Steve Willis.
Third, a special thanks to Bob Foote, Chase McMillan, and
Mindy Waite, who continuously provided us with extraordinary
logistical support, attention to detail, and insight.
Fourth, we express appreciation for our extended team of
supporters. To our agents, Jan Miller and Shannon Miser-
Marvin, thank you. Our publisher, McGraw-Hill, has been an
exceptional partner. We especially acknowledge Mary Glenn,
Lynda Luppino, Philip Ruppel, Herb Schaffner, and Cheryl
Hudson. They have been consummate professionals in all our
dealings.
