"I have experienced real change in my life since reading and doing the exercises in your Empowerment book. I don't know if other people notice it as well, but I feel stronger, and more capable. I can recognize my fears now as they arise in me, and then question their validity. For the first time in my working life I raised my voice at an insubordinate employee, it felt great. I have just completed writing a long letter to my parents discussing subjects I never dared discuss. I feel more empowered than I ever have."

– Richard Brown, Columbus, Ohio


"It’s time to inform you, which I do with great pleasure, about what has happened since I finished my research on the relationship between quality development and empowerment. I used your book Empowerment to develop a model for organizations in which the process of "permanent improvement" and "keeping on the growing edge" go hand and hand. In my training programs for organizations I am finding excellent results using your Empowerment book and tools."
