"Catapulted hits on a key issue--you are never really prepared for a promotion. You always have to figure it out no matter how good you are. But, the transition can go more smoothly and quickly with some sage guidance found within these pages." 

Dave Ulrich, Best Selling Author, Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan
Partner, The RBL group (www.rbl.net)
"A simple allegory with profound lessons on leadership. Moves leaders beyond the initial feelings of “Why me” and focuses them on “What now.” A wonderful primer and reminder for any leader stepping up to higher levels of responsibility."

Gary Bowen, Chief Financial Officer, OGIO International
"I couldn’t put it down… I felt like it was written just for me… provided ways to speed up my own development as well as my teams…just as important, it provided peace of mind in knowing I am putting my efforts into things that really matter… it put my mistakes into perspective. I think this is a great read. I will recommend to all my staff and colleagues."

Evan Berrett, Manager, Senior Leadership Development, Intel Corporation
"Catapulted is an engaging story. I was drawn into the allegory, and found myself on a quest to discover powerful core leadership principles.  As they emerged, they resonated with my experience and were accompanied by practical ideas for application."
