Synopsis

“A smart, warm-hearted and winning book. A must read!” —The New York Times

“This is not another formulaic business book written with perfect hindsight about some increasingly irrelevant business model. The lessons here are fast, timeless and under your nose.” —Scott Bedbury, author of A Brand New World

“An insightful little book!” —Fred Smith, founder, chairman, president, and CEO of FedEx

 

“What people think about you or your business is unimportant. What matters is how you make them feel about themselves and their decisions in your presence.”

That’s just one of the startling insights revealed in this heartwarming story about a confused and disillusioned CEO whose encounter with an amiable mechanic and an adorable little girl changes his business—and his life—forever.

This timely story reveals the timeless principles of business and organizational success in a way that goes straight to the heart of 21st century marketing, branding, selling and leadership. You'll discover the simple truths of influencing others, managing failure, strategic thinking, conflict resolution and much more.

Forget business as usual. Sandbox Wisdom is a new way to awaken the subconscious wisdom of your childhood and revitalize your business, and your life.

About this title

From the Author:

What's your brand? Is it your company? Your product? Your store? Your department? You? My dream-the dream that you have the power to make come true-is that this little book will help you separate the 'truth'-about branding, marketing, selling, and corporate culture-from the 'facts': all of those trendy and complicated techniques, theories, and concepts being promoted as magic potions for growth. And then-once you've rediscovered the 'truth' -you will go out, challenge the status quo, and really change things. You'll liberate your unique inner voice and inspire, innovate, and make profound improvements in yourself, your business, and in people's lives. You'll create a brand truly worthy of remark.

Sandbox Wisdom is a way for you to reconnect to those simple, yet powerful human 'truths' that you once knew instinctively, but may have long since forgotten. It's a way to awaken the subconscious wisdom of your childhood and revitalize your business, and your life. Starting right now, stop waiting for others to lead and inspire you. Instead, do as Gandhi recommended and be the change that you want to see in others. After all, you do have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
