*****
In the 1990’s I wrote a book subtitled “Reinventing the Life You Want.” As it turns out the book might have been just a bit ahead of its time. It seems that people were not that interested in “reinventing themselves” when the book came out.
Well today is different. My special guest, Hilary DeCesare, has a new book titled “ReLaunch: Spark Your Heart to Ignite Your Life.” And Hilary’s ideas about how to ReLaunch Your Life are brilliant. She offers unique, and hugely effective, methods specifically crafted to ignite solutions for your success in today’s challenging environment.
After a decade of working at Oracle Corporation, Hilary DeCesare began consulting with C Suite executives on how to relaunch their life and business and relationships in order to better reach goals and align with future possibilities.
