Testimonials
"Leadership and the development of leaders are
the key issues facing business now and for the next decade. Susan
and Joel have done a wonderful job of compiling the needs of
leaders and basic building blocks of leadership development within
the book Heart-Centered Leadership. I encourage those looking to
become leaders or working to build leadership programs to add this
new tool to their toolbox of career development."

President, Monicals Pizza "This is a wonderful training that is so
relevant to our mission and will certainly help us get to the next
level in our leadership."
John Imaizumi,
Gaylord Texan Resort, Grapevine ,TX "Steinbrecher and Bennett's book, 'Heart-Centered
Leadership,' is one that will ignite your passion for how to
do the right things for the right reasons. It will also stimulate
your intellect, as it is based on research that reinforces the
conclusions in a logical way."
Wally Doolin,
CEO, Buca, Inc. "This book cracks the code. Leadership happens on the inside,
where everyone is sure it isn't, and not the outside, where everyone
is sure it is."
