About Awakening-Greatness.com
If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.
— Toni Morrison, Writer, Nobel Prize in Literature
Inspiration for this Blog
I launched Awakening-Greatness.com in January 2023 as a way to explore, learn, and document how our greatest servant-leaders succeeded in Awakening their Greatness.
I wanted a single, comprehensive “book” built on research and practical wisdom of great humans from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and cultures who inspired me and many others around the world:
Maya Angelou, Joshua Becker, Tara Brach, Brene Brown, Evan Carmichael, Stephen Covey, Dean Graziosi, Thich Nhat Hahn, Louise Hay, Lewis Howes, Martin Luther King Jr, Tamara Levitt, Toni Morrison, Michelle Obama, Tony Robbins, Fred Rogers, Iyanla Van Zant, Oprah Winfrey, Gary Zukav, and countless others.
I am most grateful to these individuals for their authenticity and courage and for open heartedly sharing their wisdom and lessons.
