In 2002 I told my story. Then I went quiet
This is what happened in the twenty years betweenthen and now.
In 2002, I wrote a book called The Magic of the Mask. It was about my journey through facial disfigurement.
About how in one split second a car driving on the wrong side of the road, not only shattered my skull, it
shattered my dreams and everything I thought I knew about myself. About how my disfigurement led to being asked to leave public places. It was about strangers pointing at me and gasping in shock. It was about how we can get through anything with the right mindset and tools. It was about the power of the human spirit.
My work is identity-level. Not motivation. Not strategy. Not another framework that sounds good in theory and collects dust in practice. It's the decision underneath everything else - the one that determines whether your behavior actually changes, or whether you read another book and revert by Wednesday. I teach it privately. I teach it publicly. And starting now, I'm publishing it - beginning with the Own The Room series.
