Greetings!
Empowerment Book Cover side

My new book just launched and I couldn't be prouder. It zeros in on the root causes that may be holding you back from embarking on a major transformation.

 

I was recently interviewed about my new book, see it here. It's a lovely insight to why I wrote the book. To those who've already expressed interest in the book, I thank you.

Advanced-copy book reviews are stellar, check it out:

 

Chris Doyle, eCycle Solutions wrote: I would have expected nothing less from an efficiency Guru. The chapters were short and sweet yet packed with insight and direction. This is a book you can keep with you, pull out and use as a reinforcement tool, anytime you feel you are veering off your chosen path.

 

Susanne Cookson, Cookson James Loyalty wrote: This book gives the audience thought-provoking insights about why people stay stuck in their personal and professional lives. A review of five barriers are presented that may be blocking growth. Ways to inspire change are explored that really encourage the reader to think about why the barriers are in place and ways to overcome them on a journey to self-empowerment. A great read!

 

Andrew Maresca wrote: I really enjoyed reading this. It's packed full of common-sense. What makes it useful is that the main message of the book can easily be forgotten amidst the daily grind. Keep it on hand and read it on your lunch break on those days when you feel like giving up. It will allow you to refocus. It's easy to read and really gets the nuts and bolts upstairs working. 

  

Dave Suchon, Novo Nordisk Canada Inc. wrote: An extremely insightful book fully. On more than one occasion I recognized myself in the character types Adriana describes and my eyes were opened to ways to open doors. Punchy and to the point a truly efficient read. Required reading for anyone who wants to start his or her journey to empowerment.
