He is the author of a bestselling retail business transformation book, an in-demand global keynote speaker, a Forbes senior contributor, a podcast host, and a frequent go-to commentator in business media.Goes where most business books fear to tread. As mindfulness, personal development, and emotional intelligence have gained traction in the business community, readers are ready for advice that pushes their buttons and prompts inner growth.

They've seen past transformation programs result in lukewarm success or spectacular failure and are seeking solutions that go beyond the standard business transformation playbook.
