Читать книгу 5 Habits to Lead from Your Heart - Johnny Covey - Страница 6

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When I realized that Ken Shelton (who worked with my great uncle Stephen R. Covey on the 7 Habits and was the editor of Executive Excellence and Personal Excellence) lived near me I asked for an introduction from one of my clients. His first edits proved he was as good as I had hoped. Over the next year I would drive to his home and we would wrestle with what to do next on the book. Some might think it’s odd to put your editor on the cover, but Ken’s willingness to invest his experience in this book as if it were his own should be acknowledged.

My true love Christine has been my partner in creating the Head-to-Heart framework and putting it into the 5 Habits. You can see her work throughout the book making the stories personal as well as sharing her story by being mentored throughout the book. Her ability to clarify an idea, editing the content for flow and impact was exactly what the book needed. As we each have implemented these principles personally, in our relationship and our family it has been a beautiful co-creation. I am so grateful she has been willing to embark on this journey together.

To my parents who provided me with experience after experience of being in my Heart.

To Bryan and Deedee Heathman. Their vision on what the book was and could become is all I could ever want from a publisher, not to mention their willingness to do the work to get it there.

To Catherine Barrack for her ability to edit from the reader’s perspective.

To every previous experience along the way that has brought me to this point.
