MARTIN LUKES AND LUCY KELLAWAY
I would like to celebrate the work of my friends and mentors from the coaching community who have taught me so much, and whose teachings I have passed on to Martin and to many coaches down the years.
Above all I would like to mention Steve Covey, whose funeral exercise is one of the most profoundly moving and revealing lessons of all. I would also like to thank David Taylor, Laura Berman Fortgang, Paul McKenna, Pam Richardson, Antony Robbins, and Arielle Essex for the inspiration I have garnered from you and your books. I have learned more about life from you than you will ever know.
Lucy Kellaway
is a regular columnist at the
Financial Times
of London. She created the character Martin Lukes in that column, the
Financial Times'
most popular.
