If the epic heroes of old taught us anything, it is this: Strength of soul is the essential success factor and the ultimate power principle. Mere mortals with souls well served are always men of steel, attaining what the shriveled spirit of the masses could never dream. Yet, on the subject of soul in the workplace, we remain curiously silent.

Longstanding silence is no surprise, given that what we sense at our depths is furthest from our dialogue. Breaking that silence is the mission of the writer who enters into the collective consciousness, discerning the soul-deep needs of a society hesitant to express itself. Writing is, therefore, entry into the sacred sanctuary of many minds, listening not for the words, but for what the silence may say.

When silence has spoken, words fall upon the page like olives that fall from the tree in the fullness of time. A manuscript emerges and a book is born that speaks of life in the workplace, not as we know it, but as we know it can be.

The fruit of this silence is SOUL: The Essential Success Factor, a book that awakens the epic hero in each of us. Offering powerful principles and practices to stabilize a world of work gone haywire, Soul literally paints a new picture of the workplace. My hope is that it will educate, inspire and refresh readers.

Whatever our circumstance, let us look to nurture the invisible life force within called soul. This, above all, is the secret to success!
