Untethered
" “Whether a book promotes improvement by leading with head and strategic thinking, or by leaning on heart and personal story, every attempt to help and heal adds value. Rarely does any book along this continuum tell the whole truth of transformation. You have in your hands one that does.”
– Lynn Schoener, Executive Coach
