Here's What People Are Saying About the Circle Blueprint
“In my years coaching I’ve seen plenty of talented basketball players, but the ones that sustain greatness are more than just great basketball players. I tell my team that learning to manage yourself is just as important as being a great ball player; that the best athletes live in their power by consistently executing ALL their skills and improving each day. They rise above the rest because they know who they are, they understand their goals, and they never get sidelined by failure or carried away in their success. The Circle Blueprint really captures the essence of finding balance between independence, power, humility, and purpose. It teaches you how to take these crucial elements—the ones that can take your performance from ‘good’ to ‘amazing,’—and develop them for your specific goals. The assessment shows you what you need to work on. The tools in this book can help you achieve these objectives both on the court and off. If you want to really see how far you can go, read The Circle Blueprint right now.”
—Mark Few, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Gonzaga University
“Run out and buy The Circle Blueprint. It is a comprehensive guide to leading and succeeding. Truly a book you cannot afford to miss.”
—Dr. Laura Berman, world renowned sex and relationship educator and therapist; popular TV, radio and Internet host; New York Times best-selling author; and assistant clinical professor of ob-gyn and psychiatry at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago
“To get a great job it used to be enough to graduate from a great school. No longer. Today’s organizations require leaders that thrive, and that means impressive degrees aren’t enough. To be a great leader at any level you must be an authentic and balanced ‘whole person.’ In a deeply competitive global marketplace, being responsible for a company’s most valuable assets—its employees—requires an incredibly honed skill set. The Circle Blueprint lays out a path to becoming a productive, successful, emotionally intelligent human being in the workplace, at home, and in the community. It’s a new day, and Jack Skeen, Greg Miller, and Aaron Hill have written a book that equips us to thrive in it.”
—Mark Mitchell, Chief Accounting Officer, Frontier Airlines

“We all struggle with trying to ‘have it all.’ While we may appear to be doing well, just beneath the surface we are struggling with unhealthy relationships with family, friends, work, money, self-esteem… you name it. We somehow thought all this success would feel different. We thought we would be happier. If you are ready to stop confusing activity with progress and break the conscious and unconscious habits and patterns that hold you hostage to a life that isn’t working for you, take this assessment and read this book. It will force you to take-off your biased, rose-colored glasses and require you to be honest with yourself on the changes you need to make…then, it will give you the tools you need to make those changes. The whole process is broken into simple, achievable steps. I’ve read hundreds of self-help and leadership books. None of them touch the comprehensive and practical nature of this program. There’s a life out there that isn’t filled with emptiness, frustration and disappointment…and it’s yours if you want it!”
