“I’ve always felt that the greatest gift one human being can give to another is inspiration. It’s inspiration that gives us direction and the energy to get there. Laura Thompson’s A Culture of Values brims with inspiration on every page. Sometimes the inspiration is in the form of quotes such as, ‘Perfection is not the goal; growth is!’ Or the inspiration comes from memorable stories, often from her clients. Readers will thank themselves for making the ideas in this book a part of their lives!”
