"The ideas are brilliant. The clarity is brilliant. This book is a turning point.
It is unique. No other leadership book deals with these issues in one…package.
She has a rare combination of intuitive…uplifting thinking and a practical focus,
and simplifies the complex so that action steps are clear. It reminds me of a
favorite quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes, 'I would not give a fig for the simplicity
this side of complexity, but I would lay my life down for the simplicity after complexity.'
The applications…are very powerful." From foreword by Warren Bennis, Distinguished
Professor of Business, University of Southern California, author 28 leadership books,
including Geeks and Geezers, and Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls, his
latest.

What You Say Is What You Get® - Secrets of Powerful Appreciation for Parents & Children of All Ages
Dr. Linne Bourget M.A., M.B.A., Ph.D
Do you know why all children and teens are at risk, not just the disadvantaged ones?
Clients asked for this book, but I didn't finish it until my nephew was offered drugs in the bathroom in middle school! What he said is priceless and if your kids say it, it will strengthen them hugely! It's in this audio book!
Every day children are exposed to risks and dangers we did not imagine when we were growing up.
How can you protect your children and prepare them for a great life?
Along with information and values, the only inoculation is your psychology!
Only children with incredibly strong self-esteem can stand among bad influences and stay strong enough to do the right thing.
They can only do this if you teach them their greatness and strengths, so they
know who they are.
They can only do this if they know you see their highest and best strengths.
This can only be done with highly skillful genuine appreciation - you have to know what you are doing!
Parents told me they had no time to read, so here is your 2CD audio book!
Carefully crafted to listen to in your car with your kids in the back seat listening.
It includes your Quik Quiz to find out your parental Appreciative Quotient(AQ)®!
Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul Series ®, says
"I recommend to you What You Say Is What You Get® by my great
friend Dr. Linne Bourget. If you want better results, listen to her book!
Pat Williams, SR. V.P., Orlando Magic Basketball, Dad of 19, 14 adopted

executives in change/direction of the business/product development/R&D, etc.,

Our Most Unusual "Client" Story - Training a Cat
You know all those jokes about herding cats? Well, here is a true story about training a cat.
In only 15 minutes, Dr. Bourget trained a cat to go backward down a steep loft ladder, so he would stop going down forward and falling on his head. Even though he looked "cool", after he fell on his head, she could not take it and vowed to make this trip safer. After she trained him, he went down backward from that day forward, and never fell on his head again.
If she can do this, imagine what she can do for your company!
