To Beryl, my hero and guide. You play to your strengths with such heart, panache, and attitude! The strength of “us” far surpasses the mere sum of us. And, fast gratitude to Carol Leavitt for her strengths of insight, perspective, and above all, perpetual energy!

To my magnificent parents, Joan and Blaine, whose unconditional love and whole-hearted encouragement have been—and continue to be—instrumental in my discovery of personal strengths. To Mae Taylor, Dorothy Dart, and Andrea Sigetich—my compassionate mentors—and to countless colleagues who have supported me in growing and capitalizing on my strengths throughout a thrilling career. And to Coby Sr., Coby Jr., Ian, and Dave, whose unique and splendid strengths inspire me to amplify my own in this glorious life.
