“After a year of battling with my health, I knew my lifestyle was in need of a major overhaul. Aside from suffering a major heart attack, I was overweight and tired all the time. Although I tried many diets, I was never able to make a lasting change. What Dena has shared with me had a lasting AND significant change to my diet which greatly increased my energy, improved my sleep and enhanced my overall feeling of well-being. Thank you Dena!  
“Dena’s insights on nutrition changed the lives of my husband and me. We have new eating habits and are losing weight without diets! The unexpected additional bonuses since I changed my eating habits include: Increased energy, decreased stress and improved sleeping habits! I now sleep like a baby on valium!”     

I LOVE IT!  Some leadership books are too flowery and not very practical. Some are all meat and are too long and detailed.  Some are all workbook and are too intense.  Golden Nuggets of Leadership is the perfect mix.  It is the type of book that I can take on a plane and read through, or sit at my desk and work through the activities.  It provides enough meat that you have to think about it, but it is not overwhelming. 
I love how the recommended qualities, competencies and leadership nuggets are followed by extensive details on each. The real life examples of the right way/wrong way to say/do something and the activities are also helpful.  And you really pegged the section on effective communication. It surprisingly made me think of how I can improve my styles even in my personal life. It is an easy read that provides excellent practical advice.
Overall, this is an excellent book and I can't recall reading a book quite like this.  It has a lot of elements in it that other speakers and authors have touched on, but I believe you brought them together very nicely.”

“Golden Nuggets of Leadership is very straight forward and easy to navigate.  The nuggets themselves tap into what we all know to be needed but aren’t necessarily practicing day to day.  I like the exercises; they compliment the nuggets with quick easy tasks designed to get people to think and act.  Most definitely I will be a target user of this book.”
