Synopsis

To preserve our precious time and energy, we often default to 'no,' yet this only closes the door to our growth, while a 'yes' opens up a world of possibilities. The secret is adding 'yes, and' to our lives. This seductively simple turn of phrase opens the doors to better collaboration and positive relationships, and invites self-sustaining opportunities into our world. 'Yes, and' helps you get from where you are, as an individual or organization, to where you want to be.

No person or organization is an island, and none of us reaches our goals alone. This book shows you how to build on the power of open-mindedness, cultivate supportive relationships, and adopt a win-win mindset to reignite your purpose and unleash your best.

● Harness the power of team collaboration, cooperation, and creativity

● Reframe 'mistakes' and 'bad ideas' into 'Happy Accidents' that lead to opportunities

● Communicate more effectively by learning how to listen actively and build on the pertinent information

● Relinquish some degree of control to allow for more growth and discovery
