Driving Your Self-Discovery

UPDATE

The Driving series are self-directed learning guides based on blog posts from 2017-2018. Now available in book form, they make handy resources for people looking for a refresher on how to choose a coach and where to start brushing up on emotional intelligence skills.

Driving Your Self-Discovery was revised in 2024 and is now available on Amazon! Much of the material was a foundation for redrafting the book toward digital transformations. At a time when AI promises to automate a third of workplace tasks by 2030, this timely second edition reveals a powerful paradox: while technology advances, human skills are more crucial, not less. Using the Waterline Model, the book demonstrates how success in data-driven environments demands more than just technical expertise (IQ) or emotional intelligence (EQ)—it requires adaptability (AQ).
