About The Hero's Choice: Living from the Inside Out Hal glanced around the table, hoping that one of his longtime colleagues would speak up on his behalf. No one said a word. Not Keith, his golfing buddy who had lauded his every move. Not Patricia, a single parent who had asked Hal to be godfather to her adopted son. Not Larry, a friend going back to high school that Hal had rescued from a dead-end job to become a partner in the firm. No one, except Charlie, even met his gaze. Hal’s chest tightened. He was on the wrong end of a power struggle, and not one of his friends was stepping into the fray. No one was willing to take on Charlie White. He wondered what—if anything—he could do to salvage the meeting. “What’s going on here?” Hal asked. “I need to know.” “That should be obvious,” Charlie said, gesturing like a conductor holding the last note of a symphony. “Your leadership is in serious question.” (book excerpt, pp. 5-6) Hal Stratton’s life is turned upside down when, without warning, the board of directors of his own company fires him. The event sends Hal into a tailspin and he alienates everyone around him as he struggles desperately to make sense of what happened and decide how to move forward. Eventually, the crisis awakens Hal to a new way of seeing and thinking. But old habits die hard and Hal often slips back into old ways of reacting. Gradually, as Hal opens his heart to the lessons of life, he discovers success he never thought possible. Circumstances have not changed. But life, for Hal, has changed dramatically. The Hero’s Choice is a powerful story of becoming; of accepting full responsibility for your life; of learning to handle inevitable challenges in new and empowering ways. It is about leading and communicating so people can stop seeing each other as adversaries and come to a shared understanding of the challenges they face. The story will not only lift your spirit but give you practical tools for living happily, compassionately, and effectively.
