Thank you for the book. Your book and story gave me your perspective on board, and to continue focusing on transformation. Yes there will be bumps in the road, but it’s how we know how to get over them correctly. I really liked your book a lot. In a way, I see this as help, reaching out to me in how to handle and go about my board the next time.
