Don't have a triple bypass at 50 . . . ... Read more. read this book!" - Prof JC Larreché, A.H. Heineken professor of Marketing at INSEAD and author of the best selling The Momentum Effect. 'Leadership is one of these great journeys into your own soul. As we only go around once in life, my voyage thus far has showed me how important the partnership between body& soul is, and in maintaining our optimum physical (health) and well being. This book by Michael and Juliet is a great contribution to the study of leadership & health and will add appreciably to reader's knowledge on this important topic.' - Mr. Waleed Al Banawi, Vice Chairman, Banawi Industrial Group 'Ultimately success in business is about optimizing performance and gaining competitive edge. It's about being agile and managing change more effectively than others. It's about being resilient, both physically and emotionally in order to deal with the unprecedented demands which business leaders currently face. That is why the work of Mike and Juliette McGannon is so important. For twenty years they have helped countless Business Leaders achieve success by optimizing their personal effectiveness. While their message has always been very clear, and uncompromisingly persuasive, it is now grounded in years of extensive research and insightful experience.' - Paul Hennessy, Partner, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Ireland 'Juliette and Michael are effectively taking a holistic approach to health as a key element of the long term effectiveness of executives. Any leader in today's hectic world has to balance work and life demands as well as sustain a sound level of both mental and physical health. Juliette andMichael succeed in introducing pragmatic and simple concepts to executives, getting high powered managers to confront with their lifestyles centering around busy schedules.' - Roland Bruhin, Regional Director North / SE Asia, Zuellig Pharma Asia Pacific 'Juliette & Mike McGannon are doing what they are best at - showing the way to leaders; The McGannons very compellingly set the context of the exercise by leading them to confront and answer questions related to their personal priorities in life. Having established these priorities, the husband and wife duo run the participants through the theory and practice of 'healthy living'. Their methodology does not rely on esoteric diets, fancy outfits or expensive equipment. Instead, it relies on basic common sense laced with a compellingly positive vision of one's own future.' - Daljit Singh, President-Strategy& Organisational Development, Fortis Healthcare Ltd, India 'Leadership and Management what does that mean? Too many people seem to manage everything but themselves otherwise how do you explain the world's obesity crisis? Four months into implementing changes based on Michael's lectures my body fat dropped by 5 kg, triglycerides are down 43% and HDL is up 30%. My HDL/Tri ratio went from 3 to 1 if you don't know what that means and how to do it it's time to pick up this book and start managing yourself.' - Stefan Heitmann, General Director, Zuellig Pharma Vietnam "I truly believe this workshop (Business Leader's Health Programme) has a significant impact on how our leadership team choose to lead their lives and how much more they can enjoy their lives even when they have to face the many challenges both in work and their personal lives. It is empowering to know that we can manage our health outcomes through the choices we make, how we think and how lead our lives. The workshop provides practical advice on how to do this even if you are a very busy executive with little time to spare for yourself." - Jordan Ter, Managing Director, Merke Sharp& Dohme, Taiwan ROC Show Less
