Читать книгу The Hidden Edge - Jodie Rogers - Страница 7

Thank you to my family and friends and everyone who contributed to this book and to the friends, colleagues, and clients who let me brainstorm and experiment with them. A special thank you to everyone who took part in my interviews: Tim Munden, Marcus Hunt, Nathalie Slechte, Dr David Wilkinson, Shawn Conway, Mathew McCarthy, and Aldo Kane, and our financial services clients, who all provided excellent insight on the topic of mental fitness in business and in life, bringing new voices and different perspectives to the book.

Tim Munden, you deserve mentioning twice. I'm immensely grateful for the work you are driving on the inner game in Unilever. Thank you for trusting me and my company Symbia as a partner on this important journey. I am extremely grateful to Stan Sthanunathan and Gemma Bumpstead of Unilever who were pioneers in bringing mental fitness into the Consumer & Market Insights (CMI) function and honoured us with permission to include the case study at the back of this book.

A special thank you to Ann Suvarnapunya for creating all the images for the book and being heavily involved in all of our Mental Fitness offerings at Symbia. Also, thank you to Suzy Hegg, whose brilliantly analytical brain was a great support when creating the Mental Fitness business case.

To friends, colleagues, and clients of Symbia who have trusted us with their leaders and teams around the world, we thank you for the partnership and the opportunity to have a positive impact on your people.

Gratitude to Georgia Kirke and Kat Lewis, who have skilfully navigated the minefield of mental fitness and expertly helped shape it into the book it is today.

Many thanks to Annie Knight and all of the Wiley team who helped turn a major life and business goal into a reality.

Last, but always first, to my husband, Johnny Nunes, and our two boys, Theo and Finn. How you created space for me to write this book during a global pandemic is a mystery, but I am eternally grateful for your never-ending support. You always said you were my number one believer – I know that's the truth because I've felt it every step of the way. To infinity and beyond ;-)
