When I was at a loss of words having only a minute to think, I called my 13-year old son for help: “What should I ask George Ross, you know Donald Trump’s negotiator from The Apprentice?” He gave me an idea for a question: “Ask him how to approach highly successful people with a business idea”.

Hello Ms. Leshinsky,
I don’t remember how I found your websight except that I was looking for alternatives to the one-on-one business model in coaching. Call it the Law of attraction or God, but I did find you, and you are already a life-saver. I am new to coaching but spent many years in Sales and Marketing, and your “Manifesto” makes SO much sense I cannot believe someone didn’t think of it sooner. Good for You–you have the right attitude and you have earned the rewards. I just ordered your book from Amazon.com, and I hope you sell MILLIONS of copies all over the world. After reading your bio and all the challenges you overcame, you have earned the right to call yourself a true American success and I could not be more proud of you if you were my own daughter! Keep up the good work.
I am also a life-long learner like yourself, and just completed a doctorate in education. I am planning to leave the education profession–actually, run screaming is a better description–and have started researching coaching. Thanks to you I have abandoned the one-on-one model and marked up, highlighted and underlined my copy of “Manifesto” until I can afford to purchase your home-study version of the business program, hopefully next month. I like your ‘maverick’ perspective on things, and for my money, you are the best thing out there and definitely on the cutting edge of internet marketing.
I’m so glad to make your acquaintance, and thank you for all your hard work.
Respectfully,
Dr. Cheryl Cuttineau, Ed.D.
