Dave Brown is a personal and professional coach based in Del Mar, California, who helps his clients find better balance with themselves, their work, and those closest to them. His approach involves guiding his clients in discovering the subtle, subconscious behaviors that are holding them back from achieving their goals. He coaches them in spotting their own "early warning signs" so they can recognize, realign, and release their patterned behaviors as they appear in real-time in their daily lives. Dave offers up a truth that many highly motivated, self-driven professionals can balk at: that it IS indeed possible to perform at the highest levels in business -- and to have a thriving, peaceful personal life. In other words, that they can attain the same level of success with less struggle. In this book, Dave lays out the methods for making that truth possible, to cultivate your own type of grace under pressure and achieve excellence with ease.
