Reviews
""Exceptional.""-- ""Capt. David Gallimore, business coach, member of Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches"" ""I've always felt that the greatest gift one human being can give to another is inspiration. It's inspiration that gives us direction and the energy to get there. Laura Thompson's A Culture of Values brims with inspiration on every page. Sometimes the inspiration is in the form of quotes such as, 'Perfection is not the goal; growth is!' Or the inspiration comes from memorable stories, often from her clients. Readers will thank themselves for making the ideas in this book a part of their lives!""-- ""Mitzi Perdue, author of Mark Victor Hansen's Recipes for Success, speaker, philanthropist, humanitarian, war correspondent, co-founder of Mental Help Global""
