“Jocelyn is one of those rare thought leaders who can get to what makes a difference for actual leaders facing actual challenges. She’s put a lot of hard thinking into this subject, but she didn’t just stop at the thinking; she has worked equally hard with the doing, helping individual leaders transform their approach and themselves. She’s a flat-out expert.” —Craig Wortmann, CEO, SalesEngine, and professor at University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business
