Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Senior managers and executives, human resources professionals, and anyone interested in understanding their financial personality

Q: What is the book about?
A: The book develops a new approach to analyzing the impact of financial decisions by executives and shows that all individuals have personal financial traits that express themselves through our financial decisions in characteristic ways. The expression of these traits reflects a Financial Signature® that each individual possesses. There are nine Financial Signatures and each of these will lead to a characteristic impact on financial performance reflected in the valuation outcome of an organization. By understanding our Financial Signature we can improve our financial performance and that of our organizations and align ourselves more closely with the valuation target of the organization we work within.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I have an extensive operating background at the CEO and Chairman level in both public and private companies so I have experience at the coal face on why people make or lose money. I have numerous publications in the area of leadership, human resources, management, strategy and technology and am a frequent speaker at industry conferences. I consult to CEOs, boards and senior executives on leadership and its impact on corporate financial performance and valuation. I am also the CEO and Founder of the Perth Leadership Institute, which works with senior executives to implement the Financial Signature concept at top US companies.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: The 3 Financial Styles of Very Successful Leaders delivers a unique approach which draws a direct link between behavior and the financial bottom line, something that other leadership books and models have thus far not been able to do. In fact, it opens up a new area of research within behavioral finance – a relatively new field of study which aims to explain the previously under-appreciated impact of behavior on financial decision-making. The book develops the concept of a Financial Signature possessed by all leaders and executives that drives the financial performance and outcome of the organization they lead. This book shows that the personal financial traits of leaders impact their organizations through predictable financial decisions and strategies. This issue is one that is being researched extensively by the Perth Leadership Institute and opens up a totally new perspective on leadership.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Our Financial Signature approach has practical consequences and implications in real life. Coupled with our leadership assessments it enables us to predict the valuation consequences for a company of their particular leader. Armed with this knowledge we can show how strategies can be modified to increase company valuation and performance against competitors. This is a new and unique service that is possessed by no other company in the financial analysis or leadership areas. In addition, the book has been published in both traditional and simplified Chinese, and recently received an award as ‘one of the best imported books in China in 2006’, alongside notable books such as The Long Tail, by Chris Anderson, The World is Flat, by Thomas Friedman and The Toyota Way Field Book.

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Women and couples who have fertility related difficulties, single women interested in extending their childbearing years, and anyone wishing to continue birthing new creations (books, businesses, healthier bodies).

Q: What is the book about?
A: After a decade and a half of teaching, the book outlines the Fertile Heart™ Conceptions diagnostic tools that have given thousands of women the confidence to pursue motherhood without succumbing to the collective hysteria of the last good egg (readers in their forties) or turning the biological clock into a time bomb (the younger reader). Weaved into the narrative are case histories of clients, followed by a practice section with imagery, movement sequences, dream reading and a discussion of fertility boosting foods and recipes. The imagery, movement and dream work help identify inner obstacles that hinder conception. With the current expansion of the $5.5 billion baby-making business worldwide, The Fertile Female offers a much needed antidote to the ills of the Infertility Industrial Complex.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: In 1992 I was diagnosed with soaring hormone levels which according to the latest research in reproductive endocrinology reduced my childbearing years to zero. Several world class specialists concurred that I was beyond repair. Hormone stimulants or medical technology was no longer an option. In a last ditch effort to prop up my wilting ovaries I began a physical and emotional overhaul with radical lifestyle changes and rigorous self-examination. My first book, Inconceivable (Doubleday 2001) takes the reader through that pilgrimage from total despair to a place where I began to trust myself and how that led to conceiving my daughter naturally at the age of 44. Soon after I conceived, I began sharing my experience through informal support groups and later workshops and my website, www.fertileheart.com. In 2001 I was on Oprah and Good Morning America and my work became known internationally.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Rather than bemoan the white-knuckle ride of the “infertile,” or overwhelm the reader with medical jargon, the intention of my work is to turn this difficulty into the absolutely best thing that ever happened to us. Regardless of outcome. It’s not motherhood that saves our lives. It’s that a baby is for many of us the one shiny apple we’ll do anything to reach. And in the process we discover that we are far more fertile than we ever imagined. We can then go on and apply the same tools to birth all our subsequent creations.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Though my approach was initially met with skepticism in the medical community, in the last ten years a growing body of scientific literature validates my work. Most recently, several new studies link fertility treatments with birth defects, findings that encourage more and more people to seek alternatives to conventional treatment.
