Acknowledgments

To my friends and family, who love me no matter what my position, title, role, or status. There is great comfort in having deeply rooted relationships. I am blessed to have you in my life.

To my husband, Gerald Chism, who has been with me from day one on my journey of reinvention and who believed in me before I believed in myself. Thank you for providing a solid foundation on which I could continue to grow personally and professionally.

To the team at John Wiley & Sons, Inc., for helping me to realize my publishing dream. Thank you for the opportunity and for your guidance.

To my marketing manager, Jocelyn Godfrey, for your advice, your expertise, and your support. This book exists because of your relationship-building capabilities and marketing savvy. You bring joy to my work.

To my past and present clients for hiring me for coaching, speaking engagements, and consulting projects. Thank you for including me in your world and for applying the Stop Your Drama Methodology in your business and in your life.

My life is blessed personally and professionally because of the quality of people who continue to influence me on a daily basis. I am grateful for those in my life now and for those whom I know I will meet on the journey.
