Acknowledgments
I want to thank Francis Xavier Muldoon for planting the seeds
of this book in my head and my heart, Mike Freedman for
showering them with his wisdom, Peter Workman for shed-
ding light upon them, and Margot Herrera, my editor at
Workman, for nursing them to full bloom.
Very special thanks to Derek Sweeney of the Sweeney
Agency Speaker Bureau for his ceaseless support, advice, and
friendship. My deep gratitude to Brian Palmer, Don Jenkins,
Susan Masters, and the team at National Speakers Bureau in
the U.S. for their ongoing cheerleading.
My heartfelt thanks to Mary and Lester Stanford for wel-
coming me to these fair shores more than three decades ago
and pointing me in all the right directions.
