About the Book

 

Look Within … Leap Beyond

Close your eyes and envision yourself standing on the threshold of an open aircraft door over two miles above the earth. The cool turbulent air thunders inside the plane as you peer over the edge down through the mixture of blue sky and clouds to the patchwork of ground below. As you prepare to take the leap you look within yourself and are confronted by the intense anxiety of the unknown.

Are you fully prepared and trained? Was your parachute packed properly? Will you actually summon the courage to jump from the airplane?  Can we draw parallels from this experience to business? Is your organization facing significant challenges and obstacles? Are you and other co-workers required to step outside your comfort zone, to drive innovation and improvement? Does any of this sound familiar?

 

What is holding you back?

In this book you will examine and learn from the many unique and powerful parallels between business and skydiving. What limiting beliefs are ingrained in you and your corporate culture? What holds you back from taking the courageous jumps required to be a great company?
