PRAISE FOR REACHING YOUR NEXT SUMMIT
“Manley’s Vertical Lessons have made a significant impact on me, our organization and our customers. He has written a business and personal leadership book that is truly exceptional. The narrative is intensely engaging, worth a read on its own. Not only that, the insights he puts in your hands are easy to implement and will help you climb from where you are, to your vision of what’s possible. Put this book in the hands of your people and you will be better for it.”
Vance Brown, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Cherwell Software, author of No Matter the Cost
“Reaching Your Next Summit! gives us an inspiring inside view of Manley Feinberg’s truly extraordinary journeys toward life’s summits. His fascinating stories range from one of climbing to rarely-reached heights in remote Kyrgyzstan, to one of leaving a longstanding corporate leadership role to pursue his passion for speaking—actions that may seem equally out of reach to most of us. With authenticity and heart, Manley inspires us to deeply reflect, reconsider perceived limits, and take action to reach our own personal summits, however out of reach they may seem. This is a book that impacts life and leadership, at work and at home.”
Laurie Ferrendelli, Director of Organizational Development at Barry-Wehmiller Companies, Inc.
