Mario, just finished your book – great stuff! Whether one is a successful leader just looking to up that “A” game or a student/early career person looking to see the light, this book will open the eyes to the power of positive thinking. It can be read in one sitting or used to highlight places in the book that might apply very directly to the reader – either way, a “can’t miss book.”
So great to hear your career story after the hospitality industry and a privilege to have worked with you back in the Hyatt and Hilton days!
